Itinerary

Meet a driver at your hotel in Siem Reap for the scenic, 2-hour trip to Phnom Kulen Mountain, passing a landscape of tropical forest and rural communities in your air-conditioned vehicle. 

The first stop of the day is a hilltop temple, where you’ll find a massive reclining Buddha carved directly into a sandstone boulder. Next, head to the River of a Thousand Lingas, exploring a riverbank adorned with ancient carvings of phalluses and Hindu gods.

Cool off at another sacred site, Phnom Kulen Waterfalls, which tumble into a wide basin that’s ideal for a midday swim or wade. Throughout the day, the guide will help bring the ancient sites to life by explaining their significance and symbolism, and you’ll have time to purchase lunch at a local restaurant before the return trip to Siem Reap.

Best tour with Sorphea and Mom

Excellent tour today with Sorphea and bus driver Mom. Sorphea was a wonderful tour guide who went beyond a normal tour. He took us to a see how coconut cream buns were made and we got to eat some which were delicious. We also got to see the process and participate in making rice noodles which tasted amazing. Sorphea took us to the best places for photos and took lots of lovely family photos for us. His English is incredible and he is extremely knowledgeable on history, politics and areas of interest. Our bus driver Mom was wonderful with his excellent driving, friendly smile and endless water. Best tour we have done so far in Cambodia. Highly recommend Sorphea and Mom for the best day.

Kulen waterfall area was a great addition to our Angkor adventure.

Our guide Nak recommended seeing the Kulen area and it did not disappoint! The waterfall was very powerful and had some pretty scenery and cliffs around it. Our driver Sokkhen took a great photo of us on the cliff. We saw a rainbow too! Both spoke amazing English! It was a great addition to the temple area tour of Angkor. We recommend it if you have 3 or more days in Siem Reap.

Sublime and unforgettable experience

Nak was an amazing guide. He’s passionate about sharing and ensuring you get to fully experience Cambodia. He is very interactive with both his guests and his community. He is able to provide so much insight to the religious aspect with his history as a monk and is very knowledgeable about the history of his community. He truly goes out his way to ensure you have an unforgettable experience. I would highly recommend him to anyone traveling Cambodia!

Amazing tour!

5 stars!!! Nak our guide was outstanding. He took us to the best vantage points & took great photos of us. He is very knowledgeable and explained the history & culture so well at each place.He took us to the waterfall early so we had no tourists. He was ever so friendly and I highly recommend booking with him. Each visit he allowed us to go at our own pace. He would stop with locals and give us different fruits, beetles & food to try. We even joined in a family picnic & had a beer. No extra money. Our driver Channa was very skilful. We had cool water & cold aircon. We had the opportunity to stop for breaks all the way along. The highlight was the reclining Buddha, the beautiful waterfalls & the 1000 Linga river carvings.We thank you both so much for a fantastic tour. The Cambodian people are so very gentle & serene. We will be returning.Blessings to you & your family.

Unbedingt sehenswert- so lernt man Land und Leute kennen

Kurzfristig buchten wir bei Green Era Travel einen Tagestrip in den Kulen Nationalpark. Das ging super einfach per WhatsApp. Abgeholt wurden wir im Hotel von einem bequemen klimatisierten Kleinbus. Wir waren 8 Personen, eine sehr angenehme kleine Gruppe. Unser Guide, Ra, erklärte uns auf dem Weg zum Park schon sehr viel über das Land und die Menschen. Sehr gut war, das er uns immer gesagt hat, welche Station wir als nächstes anfahren, was wir dort sehen und welche Bedeutung es hat. An den schönsten Spots hat er auch Fotos von uns, für uns gemacht. ☺️ Wir bekamen kaltes Wasser, konnten lokale Snacks testen und die Eintrittsgelder waren alle inbegriffen. Raa erzählte uns an jedem Sightseen Punkt was zur Geschichte. Wir waren zur Trockenzeit unterwegs, was für uns positiv war. RAA sagte uns, dass wir sonst die 1000 Schnitzereien im Wasser nicht sehen würden. Zur Regenzeit wäre viel Wasser drüber, was dann auch noch wie Milchkaffee aussieht. Auch war es überall nicht so voll, wodurch man sich alles in Ruhe anschauen konnte. Der Tag war schnell vergangen, es war ein sehr schöner Tag. Zum Schluss hielten wir noch an einem Restaurant an und wurden sehr freundlich empfangen. Das Essen war äußerst lecker und vom Preis normal für Kambodscha. Wir wurden direkt an unserem Hotel wieder abgesetzt und waren wirklich froh, diesen Ausflug gebucht zu haben. So haben wir noch einiges vom Land und den Menschen kennen gelernt.
