Itinerary
Meet your guide at your hotel in Siem Reap at 8 am. Depart in the morning heading north towards Kulen Mountain through approximately a 2-hour drive in an air-conditioned vehicle. Enjoy the scenic ride along the way as you pass through local villages and verdant tropical forest. You will visit Cambodia’s biggest Reclining Buddha carved on sandstone. The temple is located on top of the hill and can be reached through a flight of steps. Next you will set off to the sacred river of 1000 Lingas. The riverbed is interestingly carved with numerous lingas, a phallic symbol of the Hindu god, Shiva. You will also see some rock carvings along the river depicting Hindu deities. You will continue through another sacred site, the Phnom Kulen Waterfalls. Calm your senses by watching the waterfall tumbling down the rocks. You will have time to wade in its basin and opt to cool-off from the midday sun by swimming on its pool. Discover and learn more about the historical and cultural significance of Phnom Kulen as your expert guide walks you through each of these landmarks. Stop for lunch (at your own account) at a local restaurant along the way before heading back to your hotel.

Very good day trip outside Siem Reap, discovering the landscape (mountain and waterfall) and cambodgien temples. Our guide, Bunrong, fluent in English, was very knowledgeable and nice to us.
Great tour with Bun who speaks perfect English and knows how to meet our expectations! The places visited are wonderful! The waterfall even in dry season is very accessible and refreshing. We also enjoyed visiting the reclining Buddha. Anyway great excursion. We were delighted!
We had a wonderful day with Bunrong at Kulen Waterfalls and the reclining Buddha. He was kind, knowledgeable, and made the whole day easy and enjoyable. We really appreciated learning more from him along the way. Loved the waterfalls — it was so refreshing to dip in the cool water :) And visiting the Buddha was such a peaceful experience. We would definitely recommend him as a guide!
Was a gr8 tour with Naak. We enjoyed very much
Safe and the best experence with Mr. San, our guide. He is dedicated to his job and very respectfull to clients! Mr. P. Keo, our driver was kind and took good care of us during this amazing tour. We have learned so much about Cambodian history, people, places.
Great time at Kulen Waterfall and Mountain tour. My guide was Bunrong, and I could not recommend anyone better. Bunrong is kind, compassionate, very well-informed and just a super guy! Thank you, Bunrong for your excellent service that you provided to me today!
Very nice private (only two guests - namely us) trip with guide Mr. Vath and a driver. Very good explanations of the individual destinations in Kulen National Park. Water was enough. Are very satisfied!
Really enjoyed the tour with Sophy and Mr Pearom last week. They were very knowledgable and happy to make the day go without a success. Massively recommend.
A fantastic day tour . Our guide, Choub , was knowledgeable and fun. Just enough information without overload The tour was well planned and optimised to avoid crowds. Swimming in the waterfall was invigorating and the reclining Bhudda impressive. We learnt lots about Hinduism and Bhudism! A good balance of action and information for our 13 yr old son’ Ken our driver also had great English and drove very smoothly. We highly recommend!
Nak our guide, and Phearom our driver were super great! Nak has a wealth of knowledge of Cambodia and its history and is so kind and gentle with everyone. Phearom was a great driver and took great care of us. You’re lucky if you get these awesome guides! One million stars each!
