Overview

Explore the sacred birthplace of the Khmer Empire on our full-day tour of Phnom Kulen National Park. Led by an Apsara Authority certified guide, this small-group experience (maximum 14 people) takes you to three remarkable sites: the River of a Thousand Lingas with its ancient underwater carvings, the impressive Reclining Buddha statue atop the mountain, and the refreshing Kulen Waterfall where you can swim in natural pools.
Your day includes hotel pickup from Siem Reap and a delicious local lunch of rice and fried chicken served while you relax at the waterfall. Choose between beer or soft drinks, and enjoy seasonal fruits after lunch.
