Itinerario
Verremo a prendervi dal vostro hotel a Siem Reap tra le 6 : 30 AM e le 7 : 00 AM in un comodo veicolo con aria condizionata. Il viaggio verso la montagna dura circa 2 ore, offrendo viste panoramiche sulla campagna cambogiana lungo il percorso. Trascorrerai la giornata esplorando le attrazioni storiche e naturali di Phnom Kulen, tra cui la scogliera, il Buddha sdraiato, il fiume delle mille Lingas e la cascata, nonché i templi del gruppo di Koh Ker e il tempio di Beng Mealea. Dopo un'intera giornata di esplorazione, ti lasceremo al tuo hotel in serata, assicurandoti un'esperienza fluida e piacevole dall'inizio alla fine.
Abbiamo visitato Peng Chruonh, noto anche come Peung Takhu, un belvedere naturale nascosto situato sulla cresta del monte Kulen. Prima di raggiungere la base della montagna, abbiamo visto un piccolo cartello sul lato sinistro della strada, a soli 50 metri dal bivio. Questo posto tranquillo ci ha dato una splendida vista e un'atmosfera tranquilla.
Abbiamo visitato le due principali cascate del Parco Nazionale di Kulen: • La prima cascata è alta circa 4-5 metri e larga circa 25 metri durante la stagione delle piogge. • La seconda cascata è più alta, misura circa 15-20 metri di altezza e circa 15 metri di larghezza.
Abbiamo camminato lungo il fiume delle 1000 Lingas, dove antiche incisioni di lingas, yonis e una grande immagine di Vishnu sono apparse sul letto del fiume e sulle superfici rocciose. Questo sito sacro ci ha mostrato l'importanza spirituale dell'acqua e della fertilità nella storia Khmer.
Preah Ang Thom è una statua alta 8 metri del Buddh sdraiato che raggiunge il nirvana. La statua è scolpita in un enorme masso di arenaria naturale a cui è stata aggiunta una scala moderna insieme a un riparo sul Buddha. È un sito molto sacro e speciale per tutti i cambogiani..
Mezzogiorno : Koh Ker – La capitale dimenticata • Viaggio a Koh Ker, una capitale khmer del X secolo. Inizia la tua esplorazione a Prasat Thom, un imponente tempio piramidale a sette livelli. Sali in cima per una vista mozzafiato sulla campagna circostante. • Continua il tuo viaggio verso templi meno conosciuti come Prasat Pram, famoso per le sue pittoresche torri intrecciate con le radici degli alberi, e Prasat Neang Khmau, che mostra strutture uniche in arenaria nera. • Godetevi un pranzo tradizionale khmer in un ristorante locale vicino a Koh Ker, assaporando autentici sapori cambogiani.
Pomeriggio : Beng Mealea – Il tempio della giungla • Dirigiti a Beng Mealea, un vasto complesso di templi costruito all'inizio del XII secolo. Questo sito misterioso, in gran parte non restaurato, è inghiottito da una fitta vegetazione, creando un'atmosfera mistica. • Cammina lungo sentieri di legno e sali attraverso pietre cadute per esplorare le sue gallerie intricate e i santuari nascosti. Questo sito offre uno sguardo raro su come la natura reclama le creazioni umane. • Cattura foto indimenticabili di alberi imponenti e rovine sbriciolate intrecciate in perfetta armonia.
Serata : Rientro al Vostro Hotel • Parti per il tuo hotel, riflettendo su una giornata piena di storia, natura e scoperta culturale.

It was a very entertaining and interesting excursion. We learned a lot, and our guide was super nice, friendly, and patient. An absolutely perfect and successful day.
The tour was great! Super tour guide, who had a lot to share, was very patient, and even took photos for us. The tour was diverse and exciting!
In the Mount Kulen area, we enjoyed nature and Cambodian culture with cliffs, waterfalls, 1000 linga and the Nirvana Buddha. Ko Kea area is far from Siem Reap city so it's quiet, but it turns out there used to be a city here. Although Bemmeria has not been restored, it is a beautiful site that makes you feel the passage of time. The tour was conducted in English, but the guide, Mr. Tan, explained it clearly, and the car was comfortable, with water and a tumble. This tour is recommended for exploring this area.
Tann is one of the best guides we have ever had. Knowledgeable, friendly, good sense of humour and ready to take photos for your memories. Just a delightful day.
I believe this is a tour that is new to Viator and it certainly is an amazing experience. The drive up to the mountains takes you through some pretty countryside. Waterfall was lovely and being close to the villages gives you a real insight into how these beautiful people live. The temples were the best part though. Such a variety of temples which so much old and mysterious history surrounding them. Tan, our tour guide was such a wealth of knowledge who guided us through the day effortlessly. He was very responsive to the needs of the tourists on board, and really looked after our well being on a rather hot day. He spoke very good English and was a genuinely nice person. My sister and I had the best day, long but well worth it.
We had a very interesting day together with our excellent guide Sopheap Rath and excellent driver Nat. Sopheap shared his wide range of knowledge with us and Nat always provided us with cool refreshing towels and cold water. So in spite of the heat we really enjoyed the tour and can absolutely recommend it.

We hesitated a lot before validating this day because of the rather high price of activity and admissions. We had already made 2 days of visit to the temples of Angkor and we were not sure if this day was worth the expense, but we wanted to go off the beaten track, in small group, and we absolutely do not regret our decision. The magnificent cliffs of Poeng Ta Kho, the casdade of Phnom Kulen, the 1000 lingas, the beautiful pagoda with the reclining Buddha, the Koh Ker complex with its huge pyramid and finally, in apotheosis, the magnificent temple of Beng Mealea. It was a fabulous day with our awesome driver guide, Tann. Everything was perfect. A high-end vehicle, super comfortable. The explanations in English and Tann's kindness. And that shared wonder in Beng Mealea, almost empty at the end of the day. What a marvel, this temple! One can imagine how the discoverers must have felt about this huge building, which has largely collapsed, but whose galleries and walls make it possible to imagine its past beauty. If you want to take full eyes, away from the crowds of Angkor, with extraordinary sites, then this day will exceed your expectations, I am sure!!!
Dear Yves, Thank you very much for taking the time to share your detailed and wonderful feedback. We are thrilled to hear that your day exceeded expectations and that our guide Tann provided an exceptional experience throughout the tour. It is wonderful to know that you enjoyed the Poeng Ta Kho cliffs, Phnom Kulen waterfall, the 1000 Lingas, the Reclining Buddha Pagoda, the Koh Ker complex, and the magnificent Beng Mealea temple. We are delighted that the high-quality vehicle, comfort, and Tann’s explanations and kindness enhanced your journey. Your description of the shared wonder at Beng Mealea is truly appreciated. We sincerely appreciate your recommendation and look forward to welcoming you again on another unforgettable tour. Kind regards, Srey Rath
We loved this tour! It allowed us to see many beautiful places all in one day. Great thing about this tour is that it starts early enough to catch these amazing places before other tourists – we were all alone at the waterfall!! Our tour guide Tann was super nice, told us a lot about Cambodia History and current events, he had great knowledge about the temples. He was also an amazing photographer and took a lot of pictures for us! The transportation was very comfortable, punctual, the lunch was tasty. Tour wasn’t rushed and we felt like we could experience places we visited exactly as we wanted. We highly recommend taking this tour, its a new tour so it doesnt have many reviews but i’m sure it will be very popular soon.
