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.

캄보디아에서 갈만한 곳

그렇게 좋거나 감명깊지는 않지만 캄보디아에서 앙코르와트 빼고는 관광지가 거의 없으니 하루 정도 가보시는 것도 추천드립니다.

Wonderful tour with excellent tour guide

It was a wonderful visit to the Phnom Kulen waterfall and the river of the 1,000 Lingas. Han was a brilliant tour guide and very informative about the history of Cambodia and the various religious shrine at Phnom Kulen as well as the River of the 1000 Lingas and so much more. I was very impressed by his knowledge. He demonstrated great care in guiding me and helped with my bag, hat etc. It would be remiss of me if I do not mention how absolutely polite, patient and helpful he was during the entire trip... of course , not forgetting his kind help in taking photographs of me which will become an important part of my memories of this tour. My sincere thanks to Han for making this tour my best day in Siem Reap. I therefore would give Han 5* ++++++

Kulen mountain waterfall

Una excursión fantástica! Nuestro guía Choub nos hizo fotos durante todo el trayecto y nos ha explicado muchísimas cosas sobre la historia del país mientras llegábamos a la montaña Kulen. Aunque la excursión es en inglés entendimos muy bien sus explicaciones. Además habla algunas palabras en español, y eso siempre es agradable. La vistas son espectaculares, repetiríamos sin dudarlo.

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.
