Description

Kulen Mountain Park and its waterfall are among the most spectacular locations in Cambodia. Experience the famous reclining Buddha and swim in the stunning plunge pool at the foot of the waterfall. Beng Mealea is a true hidden gem of Angkor—much less visited than the temples in Siem Reap, this incredible site has been partially reclaimed by the jungle. The trees climbing the walls and ruined ceilings create a hauntingly beautiful atmosphere. Many travelers fortunate enough to see it report that it’s among their favorite places in Cambodia. Explore all this with a local Khmer guide, who will provide insight into what life was like when these amazing structures were built. As this is a private tour, we can customize it to your needs. Specify your preferred start time and even add new stops to the itinerary if you wish!

Once we reach the famous Kulen Waterfall, we'll make time for a refreshing swim in one of the most picturesque surroundings imaginable.

Wat Preah Ang Thom is also known as 'the temple of the Thousand Lingas'. We'll explore the temple with our expert Khmer guide, who will give you insights and context to what you'll discover at this famous site, including the famous 'reclining Buddha'.

Beng Mealea is one of Cambodia's hidden gems. Far from the rest of the Angkor temples, visitors often find themselves exploring the ruins alone, as many don't make the trip out to this haunting place. The temple has nearly completely been overtaken by the jungle, making it one of the least-conserved Angkor temples.

Mountain trip

We learned a great deal, however many questions were self initiated. Sometimes we wanted to stay at a site longer to feel the importance of the site and the guide was walking far ahead of us. The van had a broken handle in the back and I could not open it

Operator response

It’s great that you learned a lot during your tour, but it’s understandable that you would want to spend more time at certain sites to fully appreciate them. It’s important for guides to ensure everyone can take their time. I’m sorry to hear about the issue with the van handle; that shouldn’t have been a concern during your experience. Thank you for sharing your feedback—it can help improve future tours!
