Phnom Kulen and 1000 Lingas River Private Day Tour from Siem Reap (6h)

My trip was overall great.My guide was Mr. SIEKKONG & driver was Mr. Borey. For my experience, I’ll point out the cons and pros. Cons- When seeing the 1000 Lingas, it wasn’t as exciting to see because it could be difficult to see in the water and really could just take a picture. Pros- My guide and driver were both excellent on taking care of me and had time to explore on my own time. The Kulen Waterfall was by far the best place to go because there was different levels of waterfalls and the biggest one, you could swim around and enjoy the view. The reclining Buddha was nice to see up close in the mountains and enjoy the view as well. For the future, possibly change the 1000 Lingas to something else but as for the waterfall and reclining Buddha, definitely keep those in the tour.

We originally met Sath when he picked us up from the airport. He was friendly, engaging and keen, so when we wanted a trip to visit the kulan mountains and bang mealea temple we figured cut out the middle man! A bit of negotiation via WhatsApp later and he sorted us kulan park entry tickets and transport at less than we would have had to pay via the hotel with less hassle and a later start as he picked up the tickets for us in advance. While he's not an official tour guide (yet!) he was very helpful in timing our visit so we had more chance to take photos without the hoards in the way, which is our thing, and making sure we got to see all the hiden gems of kulen. I'm sure he'd put similar thought into accomodating your thing whatever that happens to be. One thing to note with Seam Reap in general is that the local banks have started not to honour the full face value for dollars which are ripped/damaged in some way in recent months. As a result, make sure that you have either Cambodian Riel or very crisp greenbacks, or you will be asking the locals to accept an extra 10 to 15% discount at the point of payment, which can be stressfull all around, because unlike the major tourist venues and hotels, most of the locals, including Sath, can't take a card yet.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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!

This was a great trip due to our great guide NAK!! He was very knowledgeable and patient and a great photographer! The Kulan mountain was ok and other stops were ok too.
