Phnom Kulen Trip

Between 7:40 am and 8:10 am, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Siem Reap and drive about 45 kilometres (27 miles) north to Phnom Kulen, the Holy Mountains of Kulen.

Phnom Kulen National Park is home to the ruins of the ancient city of Mahendraparvata. Our guide will show you around this sacred area while you learn about its history.

In Phnom Kulen, you'll see the River of a Thousand Lingas, with a hand-carved riverbed, sculpted by local inhabitants in the 9th century. You'll also find traditional Apsara figures and Vishnu statues hidden under the water.

Next, we'll visit Preah Ang Thom Pagoda and the summit of the mountain to see the giant reclining Buddha. We'll spend time admiring the pagoda's architecture magnificently built into the rock surface.

Our next stop will be the Kulen waterfall where you can enjoy a refreshing dip in the natural pool. We will take time for lunch—please bring your own picnic.

Finally, we'll return to the hotels in Siem Reap around 4:30 pm.
