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.

Words...do not do this one justice.

Embark on a journey and discovery into the most spectacular day of waterfalls and views beyond your imagination.It's all very safe...but so much fun.. Walk out to the edge of the cliff and look down on the world...see the temple on the mountain and carvings in the river before getting to swim in the waterfall. We stopped at a restaurant and local stall on the way back...all very nice. Take a towel....and change of clothes and some cash to hire a locker to store your stuff while you swim

Amazing experience

We had a wonderful time with our guide Phy and his driver. They did a great job. The whole trip is well worth taking. The highlight is the waterfall and very refreshing. While visiting the sleeping Buddha Phy provided a lot of information in an entertaining way. And if you need someone to take pictures and videos, just ask him :-) Highly recommended trip!

Great tour in Siem Reap mountains

Our guide Mr. Phy was excellent very informative and always eager to share his country’s history. He and his driver were very attentive and always asking if we needed anything. Plenty of cold bottled water was provided along with fragrant cold towels whenever we returned to the van.

Brilliant experience

This trip was amazing and our tour guide Nak was very informative and helpful throughout. It was also at a good pace and allowed ample time to see each of the sections of the itinerary. Could not fault this, it was brilliant and would recommend to anyone looking for a personal tour of the waterfall.

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.
