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.

Kulen Mountain and waterfall

Enjoyable trip to the holy mountain to see the big reclining Buddha. We were blessed with holy water by a monk and gave an offering of lotus flowers. Interesting to see how the local people live outside of the main cities. The other highlight was swimming in the waterfall. There is a changing room facility run by a local lady and lockable boxes to keep your belongings in whilst you swim. The fish are a bit of a shock as they are the ones that eat the skin off your feet but the swim and waterfall are very enjoyable. Our guide Chet was very knowledgeable and informative, giving us a good understanding of Buddhism. He also took good photos for us

Amazing!

We were picked up promptly by our guide Mr Van Lonh who was very welcoming. The whole day was fantastic and we saw some great sights - our guide spoke great English and and could answer answer any questions we had. The final stop at the waterfall was beautiful and we had plenty of time to swim. Highly recommend!

Day out from Siem Reap

We had a good day out and were well looked after by Chet our official guide who was knowledgeable. Only criticism was the van for the party of 10 as the air on didn't seem to work very well on a day with 38% temperature and got the impression the driver was regularly adjusting it.

An awesome day

We had a great day with our guide from Green Era Travel. Vehicle and driver were excellent. Tour guide lovely and he made a real effort to connect with us. My highlight of the day was not feeling like a tourist because we were going to a place Cambodians choose to visit. Very special and out of the way places.

We had a wonderful day trip to the waterfalls, the mine museum and other places in Siem Reap. Our guide Reem was very professional, accommodating and knowledgeable. He also took tons of pictures for everyone. We would definitely recommend Reem.
