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

I decided well before I arrived in Siem Reap, to do this private tour, with a personal guide and a driver. They picked me up at my place as planned, which was nice. My guide welcomed me in the Lobby and off we went. The guide got my entrance ticket to the park, so I didn't have to wait in line and it was even $5 cheaper. The 1,5hour car ride was very nice, as I got to see the local countryside and its people. My guide told me a bit about the people and the history of the Siem Reap region, which I thought was very interesting. Once at the park he showed me the reclining Buddha on top of the rock and also taught me some of the local Buddhist customs at the shrine on site, which I thought was really nice. He also showed me various shrines in the forrest surrounding the Buddha. I suspected that the normal tourist would not be brought here. Since I like adventure, it was just perfect. On we went to the real price...the Lingas carved into the rocky river bed. It was just amazing. My guide told me how they came about und how old they were, which was very interesting. We then went to a beautiful waterfall nearby, where I got some time at my own leisure. All in all I was more than satisfied with my guide and the tour.

Really enjoyed the tour from start to finish. The journey out to the mountain took about an hour and a half but the journey gave us the opportunity to see the Cambodia countryside. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and was able to answer all of questions. The 1000 linga river and the reclining Buddha were real highlights. The restaurant good was excellent and extremely good value. It was a lot slower paced than Angkor Wat but still very interesting.

We hired a private driver and spent the whole day at this spectacular park. There were markets, street food stalls, beautiful temples, the incredible 1000 Lingas site, and the spectacular waterfall. It was also a great way to break up our days at Angkor.

Sarath and the driver were very accommodating. The drive out to Phnom Kulen was a nice break from the typical tours visiting the temples in the Angkor Wat. Such a peaceful and beautiful place. Sarath the tour guide had detailed historical and cultural explanations and entertained the participants questions throughout the excursion. Both Sarath and the driver made sure this experience was both fulfilling and comfortable.

Great day visit to Phnom Kulen, with Sokvichet Chin guiding us through this holly mountain for Cambodians. The tour includes a visit to the reclined Buddha, the 1000 lingas river and the magestic waterfall, where one can take a swim. Without any doubt, it was Vichet’s kidness, enthusiasm and knowledge about the mountain and Cambodian history and archeological past that help to make this day a wonderful experience!! Top guide! La excursion de un dia a Phnom Kulen con Green Day Tours y Sokvichet Chin como guia fue una gran experiencia. La excursion incluye visitar la montaña sagrada y su Buddha reclinado, el rio sagrado con los 1000 lingas y la cascada sagrada. El sitio es muy especial. Sin embargo, fueron las explicaciones, ayuda y conversacion de nuestro guia Vichet lo que hizo esta excursion una experiencia genial. Nos enseño muchisimo sobre el pasado, presente y posible futuro de este gran pequeño pais que es Camboya. El mejor guia y bonita excursion!!

The Phnom Kulen waterfall and the 1000 Lingas river is a must-do in Siem Reap and Green Era travels organized a very comfortable tour with great insights from our guide Sarat....highly recommended
