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.

Wunderschöne Natur und Kultur

Dieser Ausflug hat sich für uns sehr gelohnt. Wir konnten einiges neues über den Buddhismus und den Hinduismus erfahren. Der Wasserfall ist ebenfalls großartig und unser Guide Nak war extrem sympathisch und konnte uns viel Wissen über die Religionen vermitteln. Die antiken Stätten sind sehr beeindruckend

Une balade très agréable avec un guide très bienveillant

Nous avons réservé cette balade le jour pour le lendemain. La prise en charge ainsi que la communication avec Jose, notre guide, a été parfaite. Nous étions un petit groupe mixte de 5 personnes (de différents pays) et nous avons échangé tous ensemble en anglais. Notre guide nous a donné toutes les explications utiles et intéressantes durant notre trajet et pendant l’excursion. Nous avons vu plein de beaux paysages dans une ambiance agréable et sereine, le tout grâce à la bienveillance de Jose. Un grand merci. Sarah et Estelle

Spiritual Experience

This Phnom Kulen tour is literally amazing. The tour guide, Jose, was very knowledgeable about the sites we visited and he always made this tour smooth. I had a great time exploring the historical sites and natures in Phnom Kulen! I would recommend this nice tour to everyone visiting Siem Reap.

Amazing Waterfall!

Phnom Kulen was a fantastic way to see some of the beautiful nature that Cambodia has to offer! Our guide, Jose, was so nice and very knowledgeable. I never felt rushed by him and we were able to thoroughly enjoy our time at each stop. It was very interesting to see all of the Cambodians practicing their faith around the Buddha, try to remember to cover your knees and shoulders out of respect. The waterfall at the end was definitely the highlight, make sure you wear your swimsuit so you can get in. Overall a fun day! Thanks Jose!

A fun way to get out of the city!

This was an exciting day trip with Jose as our guide. He was very knowledgeable and hospitable and spoke great English! One reminder I would give ladies for the temple- bring a skirt/shirt/sarong along that will cover your knees and shoulders! You can pack it in your bag and just throw it on before you enter the temple. I also recommend wearing a swimsuit under your clothes because if you’re anything like me you’ll want to wade/swim in the water below the waterfall! Don’t worry about bringing a ton of water in your bag on this tour- we were given 3 bottles of water and also got to buy drinks at the restaurant where we ate lunch. If you’re in Siem Reap and are looking for a fun day trip, look no further! This is a great idea!

Phnom Kulen Wasserfall

Jose hat meinen Ausflug zum Phnom Kulen Wasserfall zu einem unvergesslichen Erlebnis gemacht. Wenn ihr die Chance haben solltet, ihn als Guide buchen zu können, nutzt sie!!!! Jose hat mir unendlich viel über Kambodscha, die Menschen und die Religion erklärt. Ich habe vor meiner Reise versucht mich zu informieren. Hätte ich geahnt, so einen Guide zu bekommen... ich hätte jedes Buch in die Ecke geworfen. Ich habe, so wunderschöne Flecken Erde gesehen. Jose hat sogar darauf geachtet, dass ich immer trinke. Wenn ich eine Erklärung nicht verstanden habe (sein Englisch ist viel besser als meins) hat er es in anderen Worten versucht. Der beste Guide, den ich jemals erlebt habe. Und ich bin 54 Jahre alt und hab echt schon viel erlebt. Jose ist unschlagbar!!!!! 10 von 10 Sternen.!!!!

Tolle Tour mit super Guide

Die Tour selbst war sehr umfangreich und echt interessant. Unser Guide Reem Marina sproch in gutem Englisch und erklärte uns vieles auch über den Tellerrand hinaus.Die Erfrischung beim Wasserfall war ein großes Highlight für mich. Besonders toll empfand ich, dass Reem uns auf (unsere) bitte hin sogar zu einen Markt mit exotischen Speisen brachte und uns bei einem kurzen außerplanmäßigen Stop die erzeugung von Palmensaft näherbrachte. Er gab uns die Zeit die wir brauchten und ging auf unsere Fragen und Wünsche immer ein.Eine tolle und interessante Tour mit einem top Guide.

Gran excursión con nuestro guía Mr. Marin, de parte de Natalia (russian) y Mariano (spanish).

La excursión es muy bonita, visitas una cascada natural en la que puedes bañarte y el Buda de la Montaña, para orar y hacer ofrendas. También ves cómo hacen los fideos de arroz a mano, con una prensa rudimentaria.Luego, después del mediodía, puedes ver en el río un montón de lingas talladas en el lecho del río.Tanto el conductor como el guía Mr. Marín, han sido muy amables y atentos, dando todo tipo de explicaciones sobre lo que hemos visto. Muchas gracias, Mr. Marin !!!
