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.

Awesome Guide and Driver for our customized tour!

Really thankful to Choub and Mr. Tit Sokhen for taking us on an amazing journey. Started off with Sunrise which was not that impressive but up with his detailed explanation and enthusiasm about Ankor. Choub is nothing short of limitless for his photo ideas and offered to take photos as memories during the trip. Beyond the chill day at the waterfall at Kulen Mountains, Ta Phrom is one not to be missed if you're in town. Once again thanks for a memorable full day despite the pack schedule!

Phnom kulen national park

We had an amazing day on this tour with our guide San, he was very knowledgeable and informative, we learnt so much about cambodia and the history behind everything we saw at mount kulen national park. The highlight for me was the waterfall and swimming under it, the water was refreshing and lovely! We stopped for a nice lunch on the way home and the drive was pleasant too, very safe driver, only about 1.5hrs from siem reap, a must do if staying in siem reap!

Wonderful guide and great trip

Loved the trip to the mountain and waterfall. The guide Phearom was exceptional and clearly knows his history of the country. Very knowledgeable and interesting and very helpful. Waterfall is amazing, as is the reclining Buddha.

Great tour with Phearom!

We had a great day touring Phnom Kulen with Phearom. The waterfall was really stunning and he gave us time for swimming (and was flexible on the amount of time so if you'd like more time to swim just ask him!) The lunch spot we went to was pretty good as well- we did not have a good food experience eating inside Angkor when touring the temples so I was happy that the food was better here! A note about Phnom Kulen - while the waterfall is gorgeous, it is a long trip (about 4 hours driving in total) for only about 1.5-2 hours of sightseeing.

Excellent tour

It was an excellent tour and I took many photos. The tour guide, Van lonh, managed time very well and managed to get me to the attractions ahead of other groups to have really good photos before everyone comes. High recommendation.

Ausflug nach Phnom Kulen

Der Ausflug war wundervoll! Die Natur und die frische Luft oben auf dem Berg ist eine Wohltat, wenn man ein paar Tage in Siem Reap verbracht hat. Unser Guide Chau war sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend und hat ist auf unsere Wünsche eingegangen. Sein Englisch ist gut und er könnte viel über die Mythologie der 1000 Liga erzählen. Am Wasserfall hat er sich als professioneller Fotograf herausgestellt. Eine Tour mit ihm ist sein Geld wert. Orkun Chroen Chau!
