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.

Cebu Island, Philippines

Kulen moutain, reclining Buddha & waterfalls with the 1,000 lingas at the river bed

We traveled in a small group just us and another family so it was quite private. Our tour guide Sela was very organized, professional, fluent in English. He was very knowledgeable and on time. We cannot ask for a better tour guide! It’s very hot and humid in June though so if you plan to travel to Siem Reap I would suggest another month unless you don’t mind that. When we went on our own during our free time we went to the night market. You have to be aware of the tuk2 drivers and sales people in the night markets overpricing everything! That was very disappointing! It’s not very tourist friendly in that sense- their government needs to do something about that. Also they made Siem Reap “tourists price” so they accept US dollars it was not as cheap as other asean countries I traveled to. Some of the sales girls would price the items 4-5 times the price they will eventually sell it to you! Not all of them but we did encounter some because we bought items from another place then wanted more. We we’re priced- 5x the price we paid at another place. When we told the sales girl that we already bought it at 1/5 price then she gave it to us. Then we heard her do it again to someone else. Disappointing! Food? For the price most of the quality and quantity not so good at the local tourist traps better to eat at restaurant that looks decent it’s worth it. After we tried their local dish Amok and their barbecue and other local dishes for 2 days, We we’re ready to eat Japanese, Italian, Thai anything else! You only really need to spend an entire day in Siem Reap to see the major Temples. The Linga river wasn’t what I expected really just good marketing. The only thing that made the tour pleasant was the tour guide. Sela was really pleasant and knowledgeable. He kept giving us cold water, we really needed it. Thank you Sela!

Tour Guides are amazing!!!

Vichet (my tour guide) was great! He knew so much about the history, culture and politics of the the tour we were on and despite some grumpy old Isreali men that were also on the tour, Viichet made our tour very enjoyable! He even took good pictures, helped with translations and showed us goods foods and snacks! highly recommended!! -Jeremy W.
