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.

Marin was our guide for the day. He was awesome, so friendly and professional. Didn't rush us at all and infact joined in by helping to take photos too. He was informatative about the surroundings and helped us to understand more about the general knowledge. Would definetly recommend this tour and him to others. The driver was great too. He didn't drive harshly and stopped at regular intervals.

Review of tour

Marin was absolutely brilliant and made this trip special. The attention to detail he gave was excellent and we left feeling valued and enriched with knowledge. I would definitely recent this tour to friends and family. The waterfall was beautiful and the reclining Buddha were highlights along with the view overlooking the mountain.

Great tour

The tour is well worth taking if you want to visit places outside Siem Reap. Our guide, Chhoup, was excellent - with high energy, humour and wealth of knowledge conveyed in an engaging way. My husband and I enjoyed the landmarks of the tour, and the company of an insightful and friendly guide.
