Itinerary

Meet a driver at your hotel in Siem Reap for the scenic, 2-hour trip to Phnom Kulen Mountain, passing a landscape of tropical forest and rural communities in your air-conditioned vehicle. 

The first stop of the day is a hilltop temple, where you’ll find a massive reclining Buddha carved directly into a sandstone boulder. Next, head to the River of a Thousand Lingas, exploring a riverbank adorned with ancient carvings of phalluses and Hindu gods.

Cool off at another sacred site, Phnom Kulen Waterfalls, which tumble into a wide basin that’s ideal for a midday swim or wade. Throughout the day, the guide will help bring the ancient sites to life by explaining their significance and symbolism, and you’ll have time to purchase lunch at a local restaurant before the return trip to Siem Reap.

A Fun Adventure with Nak

We really enjoyed our time with Nak, our tour guide. He was fantastic with sharing his knowledge and experience. We discussed the significance of Mount Kulen and all of its sacred meanings. He was so thorough with making sure we had all the pictures we needed. Our care was his number one priority. Cannot recommend him enough, thank you for looking after us!

Great tour and great guide

This activity is very worth it if you are visiting Siem Reap. The places of the tour were gorgeous. Our guide Mr. Nak was so great, really nice and kind with us during the whole tour. He speaks english perfectly and he knows a lot of cambodian history, so he told us a lot of things that made this activity very interesting. The landscape is spectacular and the swim in the waterfall is great! Also thank you to our driver Mr. Ski, he did a great job. I would recommend this tour to everybody.

Cambodian waterfall experience

Because we were so happy with our first visit in Cambodia with Mr. Nak and Mr. Ski (the driver), we decided to go on a half day experience at Cambodias most important waterfalls. They picked us up as planned, right at the agreed time. Mr. Nak and Mr. Ski had prepared a very interesting itinerary (Jungle cliffs, Lying Buddha, Thousand Linga River site and Waterfall site), and also carried cool water for us to drink during the adventure. Mr. Nak knows plenty of interesting information to dive deep into Cambodia’s culture, history and customs, which made the trip very entertaining and instructive. The sites were beautiful and we even were lucky enough to see a small snake hanging in the trees, moving around before it fled from us. Definitely breathtaking and gorgeus. At the natural reserve there are many locals selling traditional goods and food who are very friendly and happy to help at all times. We tried Cambodian typical pancake made out of rice and sugar and we loved its taste. Definitely a place to visit if you happen to be in Cambodia. Totally advisable, specially if you are lucky enough to have Mr. Nak and Mr. Ski as tour guide and driver.
