Step into Cambodia’s holy mountain on our special day trip from Siem Reap. Phnom Kulen, Kulen National Park isn’t just beautiful—it’s the birthplace of the mighty Khmer Empire in 802 AD and a place both Hindus and Buddhists hold dear. Your trip starts with a drive up the mountain road. Our first stop is the Valley View Point where you can see amazing views of the green forests that cover the national park. Take photos or just enjoy the peaceful scene below. Next, we walk to the River of a Thousand Lingas. This special stream has old carvings all over its riverbed. Long ago, kings made these Shiva symbols to bless the water that flowed to their cities. You can get a traditional Cambodian blessing with this holy water if you like. At the top of the mountain, you’ll find a pretty pagoda with the famous Reclining Buddha statue. Feel the calm spirit of this place as you walk around. For our last stop, we visit the magical Kulen Waterfall. Here you can swim in the cool water or just watch local families enjoy their sacred place. While you relax, we serve a tasty lunch of rice and fried chicken with your choice of beer or soft drink. Fresh fruits will make your meal complete. Our small group (no more than 14 people) means you get lots of attention from your guide. The paths are easy to walk, so you don’t need to be a hiker to enjoy this trip. You’ll head back to Siem Reap with great memories and a better understanding of Cambodia’s rich heritage.
