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.

Impressive excursion with Mr. Chet!

My colleagues and I went to Phnom Kulen Group Excursion with Green Era Travel, which we booked via vidi.co. We were picked up on time by the honest, reliable and patient driver by the name of Borey. We also had the knowledgable Mr. Chet as our guide for the day. He was extremely interesting, and told us many facts and stories along the way. The reclining Buddha and 1000 Linga River were average attractions in my honest opinion, but Phnom Kulen was extremely impressive for a waterfall! Highly advisable to visit this during the non-busy period (weekdays) as it can get extremely crowded on weekends and public holidays!

Siem Reap Tour

I really liked how smooth the trip is. Our tour guide, Chet, is very nice and did good in his job. Even if it's just a day tour, I felt like we were friends for a long time because of how great a person he is. I would definitely recommend him to my friends. He takes great pictures too!

Informative and enjoyable tour

Our tour guide, Mr. Vichet was such a great help in our tour! When they picked us up, he introduced himself as we were having breakfast and by that time he was already all smiles. On the way to the mountain, he was already telling us about the history of Siem Reap and Cambodia as well. He managed to tell us new facts and trivias that we didn’t even know befofe! After that, he met us rest for a while since our tour started early in the morning. All throughout the tour, he just shares so much history to let us know more about the places we go to. He is such an enthusiastic guide! He also takes great photos of us. Overall, I don’t think we’ll enjoy the trip as much as we did if it weren’t for Mr. Vichet. I would totally recommend him to my friends who plan to go to Siem Reap. I also got his contact details so we can message him when we return cause we definitely would. Thank you Chet for being such a wonderful guide. You made our tour memorBle.

Phnom Kulen with guide Vichet

The guide was on time, friendly and informative. We were a nice small group of two French, 1 Australian and two Germans. We experienced the holy Buddhist place of Phnom Kulen with an impressive view on the way up and down the mountain. The huge reclining Buddha is really worth visiting. After that, we took a walk through parts of the forest, went to the river of a thousand Lingas and to the famous waterfall where there was time to go swimming for everyone who was interested. After the sightseeing, the driver took us to a restaurant on the way home to Siem Reap where we enjoyed delicious food with Khmer dishes available. This trip is really interesting for everyone who wants to see parts of the Cambodian countryside and to learn more about how Buddhism ist practiced.
