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 place

Great place where you can swim with the fish under the waterfall. Sadly there are many people. Many restaurants next to it and also gift shop. You can let them your things while swimming for one dollar

Trip to Kulen Waterfall, 1000 ligas, Banteay Srei and Preah Ang Thom

Our second day of our Siem Reap journey with Mr. Phearom as our driver, we ventured to explore Banteay Srei, Preah Ang Thom Pagoda, Kulen Mountain, Koh Ker Temple, and Beng Mealea Temple. Throughout the excursion, Mr. Phearom not only drove us but also served as a knowledgeable tour guide, explaining various sights including the 1000 Liga. He went the extra mile by capturing photographs for us and ensuring we didn't miss any key attractions. When we initially struggled to locate the waterfall at Kulen Mountain, he promptly snapped some pictures and sent them to us for guidance. Thanks to his assistance, we eventually found the waterfall and were able to fully appreciate the beauty of Kulen Mountain. Additionally, Mr. Phearom graciously provided us with local fruits, cold towels, and bottles of ice water at each stop, enhancing our overall experience.

A pleasant day in Cambodia

Sath was our guide he was friendly, and kind and he instantly made you feel comfortable he was able to provide us with complete details regarding questions we were asking I would highly recommend him as your excursion guide, I have traveled all over the world, and it is hard to find people who are genuine. Both Sath and his driver (Mr Samun) carried themselves with utmost professionalism the company is lucky to have them to represent the company. Hoping the best for both of you, Michel

Lovely Day at Phnom Kulen

On this tour we first visited a lovely scenic spot with a breathtaking view. Our guide Mr Nak took a great photo of us on the cliff. After that we visited the reclining Buddha and the river of 1000 lingas. Also tried some street food near the temple. Mr Nak is very knowledgeable and his love for his country’s heritage is infectious. He was also very patient waiting for us while we took a dip at the waterfalls and also obliged us when we asked to stop by the landmine museum on the way back to the hotel.
