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 trip with Marin

We have just had a wonderful day visiting the countryside, waterfalls and a number of villages. Our guide Marin was fantastic and the most professional service we have had in Siem Reap, he has good English and is very knowledgeable of the nature we saw including different plants, birds, fruits and butterflies. He was happy to answer all questions and told us many things about Buddhism and Hinduism. He also became my personal photographer for the day. It was always ensured that we had enough water and everything was super organised. They arrived early to our hotel (very rare in Asia) we were still eating so he offered to pick up other people and come back for us! Impeccable service and great views ???? also a lovely way to see a different side of Siem Reap. Very much recommended!

Belle journée

Nous avons passé un excellent moment en compagnie de Marin qui a été un guide d’une grande efficacité et d’une grande gentillesse. Le chauffeur ainsi que le van étaient au top également. La point d’orgue de cette journée a été pour moi la visite du Buddha couché. Je recommande cette excursion.

Kulen waterfall tour

A beautiful day with a lovely group of people. Very motivated and friendly guide José did a great job in showing us his country’s nature wonders and quite an impressive reclining Buddha statue craved in a sand rock. Thanks for all the work & enthusiasm José! Strongly recommend.

Endroits magnifiques avec un guide super et attentionné

Très belle journée au milieu de sites magnifiques. Notre guide a su nous donner toutes les explications nécessaires pour mieux comprendre les rites et la culture cambodgienne. Les détails donné par Jose sur les 1000 lingas et les rites effectuées dans la pagode ont été très intéressant. La petite surprise a été de découvrir les différentes étapes et utilisations des palmiers.

Great itinerary

The trip to Phnom Kulen is fantastic. We were able to visit several famous spots including Ring Cliff, Reclining Buddha, 1000 Lingas and the waterfall. The tour guide was very caring and professional in taking photos and we visited all the spots along the way. He has also given extra attention to avoid the crowd and explaining the history in detail. I'd recommend the trip to others if you want to see the local communities and both Hindu and Buddhist culture.
