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.

Our 2023 Phnom Kulen trip experience...

Our 2023 Phnom Kulen trip experience... Review of Phnom Kulen Waterfall & 1000 Linga River Small-Group Tours from Siem Reap Pending review The trip to the Phnom Kulen Waterfall and 1000 Linga River was full of exciting and wonderful sites and adventures. My wife and I enjoyed the trip and the fun, and will remember this for the rest of our lives. Our tour guide, Phyrom was very patient, helpful, accommodating, informative about Cambodia history. culture and the sites visited. He explained well the highlights of the sites visited. He took good care of us during the trip, and good photos of us and the group as well. The tour bus driver at that time was safe and a skillful professional one. My wife and I give this optional tour 5 stars.

My best trip to Phnom Kulen

Kulen Mountain or everyone here always called Phnom Kulen is a beautiful mountain within a rich history of the capital of Khmer Empire during the 9 century. The waterfall is very beautiful. There is a place for getting shower and also there is a place where we can swim. It looks like a pool in the jungle, and the water that flows through the thousands of lingas rivers is believed to be a blessing water by God. There is a huge sleeping Buddha on the peak of this mountain where locals people always go to pray and there are also many ancient temples on the mountain that I cannot describe all of them as well. Highly recommend you all to visit this fabulous place for your holiday in Siem Reap, Cambodia.

Amazing day trip!!

Our tour guide , Voath, was incredibly skilled at giving our family a crash course in Cambodian history as we drove to the sites. He knows so much! He also gave us a much deeper understanding of the religions that are important in Cambodia. This was all while visiting some very special sites on the mountain. We also enjoyed the air conditioning of a private van. Voath was also an excellent photographer and captured some of the best shots we have from our trip. We would highly recommend this tour!

Loved it!

Our tour guide was Voath and he was amazing!! He really took the time to teach us about the different areas of the tour. He was so knowledgeable. I prefer taking a tour like this rather than going alone so that I can really learn about the culture and location through the tour guide. The tours also come with an air conditioned ride and you’ll def need it going up to Phnom Kulen. It was cool to venture out of the main city and up the mountain to see the waterfall and river, it’s a must visit! Bring some cash to buy some local handmade items along the way.
