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.

Good and enjoyable trip with Borain

Well organised group trip. Borain was helpful in giving directions and providing historical and religious background to our visit. He very kindly took pictures for us. We made some extra stops to see Palm sugar extraction which was good. Thank you!

Polite and fun guide.

Marin my guide for my visit to Phnom Kulen and reclining Buddha. He is a polite, patience and helpful guide. The downside may be to improve the English communication, but overall and in general, I am great to have him as my tour guide, thank you so much.

Phnom Kulen mountain day tour

A very nice excursion to visit the holy mountain of Phnom Kulen. They take you to several temples, one of them containing an incredible gigantic budha! Then you visit the river with the 1000 lingas and finally an amazing waterfall where you can have a great swim. But the best of the tour was our guide Sokvichet Chin. He explain to us every single detail about the temples. We learn a lot about Cambodian traditions, history and people. If you are in Siem Reap and you want to visit Phnom Kulen or Angkor he is you guy!! Una excursión de día muy recomendable si ya has visitado los templos de Angkor (es lo mas increíble de Siem Reap). En la excursión primero te llevan a ver varios templos (se encuentran en la propia montaña), uno de ellos contiene un budha inclinado increíble), luego al rio de las 1000 lingas y finalmente una cascada impresionante en la que te puedes bañar. Pero lo mejor de la excursión ha sido sin duda nuestro guía Sokvichet Chin. Nos ha explicado hasta el mas mínimo detalle de lo s templos, las tradiciones y la historia Camboyanos. Sin él el tour no hubiera sido lo mismo. Si hacéis algún tour con esta compañía preguntar por él, no os defraudará.

Phnom Kulen Tour

Our tour guide was Phearom and driver was Paula. My friend and I had such a great time with them. Phearom’s English was easy to understand and had provided us great knowledge of Cambodia throughout the tour. Phearom and Paula are both very friendly and have a great sense of humour. We would definitely recommend them!
