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.

Nice getaway from the city!

Marin was extremely personable and provided a lot of insight and information into Cambodia as a country and the sites we saw. My absolute favorite part of this trip was the unbelievable view at the overlook on our way up Phnom Kulen. The 1,000 Lingas was fascinating and Marin pointed out interesting details that I would’ve otherwise missed. The waterfalls were super overcrowded, so I didn’t enjoy those as much as expected, but the trip was still nice. We also had the opportunity to see some of the temples in the surrounding area which I really enjoyed!

A brilliant tour

From meeting our guide Marin at our hotel I knew this tour would be special. He is very informative and relates personal stories about himself and his family’s history. We visited the beautiful national park and Marin’s in-depth knowledge of the wildlife and religious significance of the river and surrounding area was captivating. Lunch was superb and we stopped at a palm wine producer on the way back. A good humoured informative tour with a great guide and driver topped off with meeting some lovely fellow travellers. Highly recommended. Thank you Marin.

Great excursion with a great guide.

Very kind and hard working guide. The group was small and full of fun loving felliw travellers. Tour totally matched description. I rarely give reviews but felt compelled to praise this excellent guide and his equally helpful driver!

Phnom Kulen

Gut organisierte Tour zum Phnom Kulen in einer Kleingruppe. Unser sehr gut Englisch sprechender Guide Han konnte uns sehr viele Informationen über den religiösen Hintergrund des Phnom Kulen vermitteln. Auch allgemeine Informationen über das heutige Leben in Kambodscha konnten wir erfragen und erhielten persönliche Antworten. Der liegende Buddha ist beeindruckend. Schön ist eine Erfrischung am Wasserfall. Leider haben nicht alle Besucher Respekt vor der Kultur und baden halbnackt.

Phnom kulen

Guide was friendy and good. Liked the lookout, waterfall and big Buddha statue. Pickup was 10 mins late but thats not a big issue. The price may have been a bit high as my friend has done a different Phnom Kulen tour for a lower price.
