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.

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.

Kulen waterfalls & 1000 Linga river tour.

Beautiful,ancient history. Driver was a very smooth and cool driver, very quick and helpful while getting on and off the vehicle. Our tour guide Mr. Phy was so cool. He explained everything so well before and while visiting places . Helped us taking pictures. Held our hands while getting off and on the vehicle. He ran to help the elderlies in our group. Told us where we could have our vegetarian meals. I saw him helping others with his medicine,when someone else had a fall. He carried first aid with him. Very gentle man . I can recommend both the driver and the guide anytime.

A brief trip to kulen mountain with Sukhen

The trip was wonderful! We were taken to the waterfall by Sukhen. He is such a Friendly, warm and energetic individual. Right from the beginning he took care of all our needs - from briefing us on the history, to ensuring an ample stock of water and even cold towels everytime we went out in the hot sun. Those cold towels were life savers. He was very proactive and took an added amount of effort to ensure we got some great shots of us in the numerous locations we went to. He also knew the right places and frames which is clear that has knows his way around the place. We had a wonderful and very stress feee journey to Kulen mountain because of Sukhen. The place is truly fantastic and we truly imbibed the beauty of the place because of the arrangements that were made for us.

A wonderful travel experience in Siem Reap!

Highly recommend for anyone seeking reliable transportation in Siem Reap. Sukhen provided exceptional service. He was punctual, courteous, attentive and joyful. The vehicle was extremely comfortable and clean, and Sukhen’s safe driving skills ensured a comfortable journey throughout. Sukhen’s friendly demeanor and willingness to go the extra mile made the experience truly memorable. Sukhen had cold towels and water bottles ready after the temple visits on a hot day which was a great value add. I would highly recommend Sukhen for anyone traveling in Siem Reap. He also takes great photos and candid shots! :)
