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.

A simple and lovely trip to the Waterfall.

A lovely day trip to the Phnom Kulen Waterfall for my family. My tour guide, Voath, and the driver, Vong, are very professional and friendly. He is able to effectively communicate in English. He is able to provide us with very good knowledge and history of Siem Reap and the Kulen mountain. It is about 1.5hr drive from town. In order to cap the trip on a high, you must be prepared to get yourself wet in the waterfall.

Great tour, and an amazing experience

Was overall a great tour. The temple and btw waterfall are amazing. Voath, our tour guide is also phenomenal. He was very knowledgeable and courteous. He gave us a lot of good info, and a special thanks to him for taking good care of our 5-year old who loved him. A note to Wang, our driver who was also very pleasant and polite during the whole tour. Great tour for anyone who can find that extra day at Siem Reap.

Great tour and great service. Don’t miss!

Loved the whole service starting with the punctuality of the start. We were lucky enough to get a very private tour for just our family and thoroughly enjoyed the trip. Voath was a great guide and took good care of our family giving us very detailed information on the way and at the site. A special thanks to him for literally taking care of our 5- year old who loved him. Thanks to our driver Wang as well who was always courteous and smiling. Would recommend to anyone thinking about this tour. The waterfall and the temple are an amazing experience. Don’t miss it!

A great day out a Kulen Falls

My wife and I had a most enjoyable day with our guide Voath who picked us up early from our hotel ( definitely a good move) and in this way we missed the bigger crowds. Voath kept us soaking up facts about the history of Cambodia with his very good knowledge and excellent English. A very bright and personable young man whom we would recommend to ask. Thanks for a lovely day. Michael

Fun and interesting trip

We had a tour of Phnom Kulen Waterfall with Voath. The tour was very interesting, with Voath knowing everything we wanted to know about the area. Voath's English was excellent and every explanation given was clear. Swimming in the waterfall was a particularly fun highlight.

Amazing Tour to Waterfall

First timers in Cambodia, decided to book a trip to Kulen Waterfall and 1000 Linga river.Didn’t expected the tour to be so amazing, me and my partner got lucky to get Mr Lonh as our tour guide.Most friendly, chatty, with big knowledge guide definitely not to be missed and highly recommended. On the way to waterfalls he showed us and explained everything starting from situation in Cambodia after covid, before covid (history, agriculture, lifestyle, got to see Rice fields and experience the harvest of rice, try local food) finishing with explanation about religion. If stayed longer would definitely go on more tours with him!
