Meet a guide at your hotel in Siem Reap, then begin the drive to Phnom Kulen in a climate-controlled vehicle, passing a series of local communities and lush forest.

The first stop of the day is a reclining Buddha image cut from a huge sandstone boulder in a hilltop temple that draws pilgrims from around Cambodia. From there, continue to the River of a Thousand Lingas, a riverbed that’s carved with images of phalluses and Hindu gods. 

Another sacred site is Phnom Kulen Waterfalls, where you can cool off by swimming in the pool at the base of the falls. Throughout the day, take advantage of your time with a private guide to learn about the sites’ historic and cultural significance, enjoying the flexibility to explore each destination at your own pace.

Your tour ends with drop-off back at your hotel.

Great nature trip

The tour was amazing, beautiful nature, great spots where we took a lot of photos. Our guide Mr Chhoub was very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. The road in Nature Park was uneven due to the heavy rain and our driver Mr Khen did an awesome job, driving safely across.We also visited Tonle Sap and the boat ride was beautiful, our guide Mr Chhoub once again helped us to avoid areas which were too touristy and we thoroughly enjoyed the day.

Kulen waterfall tour with sath

The tour to kulen waterfall was wonderful. Our guide Sath was very kind, carring and patient (with our grumpy kids who never ceased to complain about the weather). Sath was also very interesting and knowledgeable and was able to answer all our questions about Cambodia's society, politics and history. We highly Recommend this tour.

A must go

Great journey! Both the guide (Sath) and the driver were really nice and kind and they speak perfect english.Sath provides you with lots of interesting information regarding the place and Cambodia history. It was a really nice journey after a long travel from Europe the day before.

Nice visit with Sath and Sokhen

We enjoyed the visit very much, we enjoyed the hours we spent with Sath and sokhen.Sath explained us many things about the country and Sokhen took us to all the places, always making sure we had water and we were fine. 100% recommendable, I invite you to contact them. And the sweets that they gave us to approve were delicious!

Great family day out.

This day trip was worth getting out of town to see something different! The waterfall was pretty cool to swim in and was a welcome cool-down opportunity! The reclining Buddha was also worth seeing and it was quite nice to see a bit of the local religious culture. Pee (not sure of the spelling!) was great and very knowledgeable and good with the kids. The car was nice and clean and had plenty of cold water available in an ice box! You so need to take some cash though, as lunch isn’t included and if you want to buy a few bits and donate at the temple. Nowhere on the way to get cash out if you don’t have any. Overall, definitely worth a trip out for the day and good for kids!

Highly recommend the Kulen Mountain & 1000 lingas tour!

We had a great time with our tour guide Nak today! We completed the Kulen Mountain & the 1000 lingas tour. Nak and his driver (James Bond 009) were very friendly, and Nak was very generous with his knowledge of Cambodian history and the different sites. The locations were beautiful and it was a very informative experience. Would highly recommend!
