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.

Unbelievable

Great tour, the best of many I had in Siem Reap. The tour guide Mr. Youhan was very knowledgeable and very exciting. I would personally recommend Mr. Youhan for the tour, you would not miss out on anything. The most important point he is very honest and seek your interest. Anyone interested in the tour should try to request Mr. Youhan and Green Era Travel.

Phnom Kulen

Jose and Mr Bond made me feel at home from the moment they picked me up. The tour group was small, only 4 people which gave it a more personal feel to everything. They both have great knowledge of the are and hidden gems along the way and Jose was eager to help with pictures along the way which always helps the solo traveller! Would definitely recommend bringing some comfy shoes, about $30 for entry to national park and lunch and something to swim in at the end.

Friendly guide to Kulen mountain

I went on this tour recently. Our guide Jose was very friendly, knowledgeable, and went to a lot of effort to be helpful carrying my bag and helping me navigate the paths. He also knew lots of great places for photos! Our driver Lan (possibly spelt that wrong) was a very careful and safe driver. Thank you both for a great day! I would recommend this tour very much if you are interested in seeing the sights further afield in siem reap.
