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.

Excellent day with amazing guide

This was a fantastic day out with an amazing, friendly guide. Malin was very knowledgeable and fit the day around us. The atmosphere on the top, near the great Buddha was wonderful. And the views were stunning. Recommend good footwear and prepared for a little bit of scrambling. Thanks again Malin ????????????

An Excellent time

We were picked up from our hotel and had a private ride all day, we were well looked after and our guide was very knowledgeable. He told us all about the area, beliefs and culture. He was good company and happy to answer and of our questions. The sights were great and felt very safe all the way round. The national park was beautiful and so were the falls and the Reclining Buddah was fantastic.Would recommend to others whole heartedly.

Great tour with Phearom!

Mr. Phearom is a very knowledgeable guide and he explained not only the spots we went to but also the history of Cambodia. Our driver, Mr. Khen drove with cautious and we loved his great smile :)The reclining Buddha was very spiritual place and the waterfall was great for swimming.

Kulen Wasserfälle mit super Reiseleitung

Die Kulen Wasserfälle sind für Kabodscha aussergewöhnlich, da relativ naturnah und im Gebirge. Billig ist es nicht, neben den Tourkosten ist noch die Nationalparkgebühr von 18 $ zu bezahlen. Trotzdem sind die Wasserfälle ziemlich belebt, aber das ist wohl überall in Asien zu erwarten.Unser Reiseleiter Pheanom war klasse, hatte super Tips und viele Infos auf Lager.
