Kulen Mountain Trails Dirt Bike Tour
Description
Ride dirt bike to the birthplace of the Angkor Empire on a pioneering excursion to Phnom Kulen. With over two thousand years of history, the Angkor Empire is one of the most significant ancient civilizations to have ever existed. You will experience an eco-tour that covers both Kulen’s historical and religious significance as well as its unique, endangered ecology. This day trip to Kulen Mountain from Siem Reap is a perfect way to get off the beaten path and see more of rural Cambodia, including its flora and fauna, as well as lesser-known historic sites. You will have the opportunity to explore not only some of Cambodia’s most iconic ruins, but also the natural beauty and waterfalls.

Itinerary
First you will pick up from your hotel to our office "Dirtbike Expedition" to get your bike and gear.
Depart early in the morning from meeting point at our shop to Kulen Mountain, one of Cambodia’s most sacred mountains, with deeply revered ancient sites and ruins on its high plateau. The roads are peaceful, narrow, and very pretty all the way to Kulen Moutain. There are plenty of beautiful countryside views to see along the way as we drive past rice paddies, local markets, schools, villages, and Buddhist temples. Stop off to visit Palm Sugar Village, where they make palm sugar out of palm juice.
Afterward, we continue to the National Park, where you’ll be able to pause to catch a breathtaking view. You will explore the vast plateau of Phnom Kulen, led by our English-speaking guide. Then, we step into the jungle trails through the vine-covered trees until we reach the River of 1000 Lingas, an array of unique riverbed carvings, and nearby Preah Ang Thom, a huge stone Buddha carved into the top of a rock set in a bustling but atmospheric temple complex.
Then, you will drive through the jungle past remote villages and see life-sized stone elephants standing serenely at Srah Damrei.
We’ll have lunch at a local restaurant and cool down from the day’s adventure with a swim at Kulen Waterfall before returning to Siem Reap. Relax and reflect on the natural wonders of Phnom Kulen and its rich history.

Would definitely recommend this tour, one of the best ways to experience Cambodia. Perfect amount of challenge for a ride and with multiple stops where you get to experience the local food, drink and culture through small villages. All food and drinks were so good and it was super easy getting through check points with guide handling all that. My guide was with Vandy, he was amazing, with super clear instructions and a great vibe!
VEN was great guide enjoyed this trip very much
This is my best day in cambodia by far
The ride was truly amazing! Ron is an amazing guide. And knows the area very well. He brought us to amazing views as well as historical sites. Unfortunately we had a slow start due to a mechanical but Ron made sure that we completed the full loop as we ended the ride 2h later than planned to make up for the missed time in the beginning. I would definitely recommend booking a tour here!
Amazing ride, beautiful views along the countryside , great guide vandy. I would reccomend this trip for any body with basic motorcycle experience.
Did the Kulen Mountain route with Ron, what an excellent way to see the hidden gems of Siem Reap, as well as visit a few of the more remote, and thankfully less crowded, tourist attractions. The staff also helped attach my GoPro to my supplied helmet, which allowed me to get some phenomenal footage of the countryside. We stopped for morning coffee, and later an incredible lunch in one of the smaller villages in the mountains. Ron was great, super helpful and enthusiastic the whole day. The trip lasted about 9 hours total. Would 100% return to try another route!
Great experience with Ron as our tour guide, very informative, patient and good sense of humour. We did the full day mountain tour and got to experience all things Cambodia from a very unique point of view. Along with the beautiful scenery the ride was not without some challenge for off-road motor biking, this was great as I personally was worried the trip was just going to be flat dirt road the whole way. 5/5 would come back and do the longer expedition.
It was my first time in Siem Reap. And I got recommended by a friend to do this dirt bike tour with them. It was a lovely experience with Ven being very patient with me as I’m slower than the rest. He ensure that we are not left behind from point to point. I would recommend any girls to experience this.
I had the most incredible experience on this motorbike tour in Siem Reap — hands down one of the best ways to explore the area beyond the temples! Our guide Vin was knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure we felt safe and comfortable throughout the ride! Highly recommend
What an experience I’m a novice at off road and have benefitted from this by having my boundaries pushed. The tracks cater better to those starting to above average. However for those of you who know your stuff, you will still be able to have a whole load of fun, To top it off the terrain and scenery do not fail to impress. Don’t think about it just do it! You will have no regrets,
