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.

A brief trip to kulen mountain with Sukhen

The trip was wonderful! We were taken to the waterfall by Sukhen. He is such a Friendly, warm and energetic individual. Right from the beginning he took care of all our needs - from briefing us on the history, to ensuring an ample stock of water and even cold towels everytime we went out in the hot sun. Those cold towels were life savers. He was very proactive and took an added amount of effort to ensure we got some great shots of us in the numerous locations we went to. He also knew the right places and frames which is clear that has knows his way around the place. We had a wonderful and very stress feee journey to Kulen mountain because of Sukhen. The place is truly fantastic and we truly imbibed the beauty of the place because of the arrangements that were made for us.

A wonderful travel experience in Siem Reap!

Highly recommend for anyone seeking reliable transportation in Siem Reap. Sukhen provided exceptional service. He was punctual, courteous, attentive and joyful. The vehicle was extremely comfortable and clean, and Sukhen’s safe driving skills ensured a comfortable journey throughout. Sukhen’s friendly demeanor and willingness to go the extra mile made the experience truly memorable. Sukhen had cold towels and water bottles ready after the temple visits on a hot day which was a great value add. I would highly recommend Sukhen for anyone traveling in Siem Reap. He also takes great photos and candid shots! :)
