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.

Choose between beer or soft drinks, and enjoy seasonal fruits after lunch. This leisurely cultural excursion follows gentle jungle trails suitable for all fitness levels.

Smooth organization. Lok, our guide has been very kind and knowledgeable. Thank you for this unforgettable day! Note that road conditions are pretty terrible but we had a great driver so we never felt unsafe

A good pace for a day trip and an informative and polite guide Chendra. Lovely nature and people along the way. The dipping at the waterfall highly recommended. A day well spent.

Amazing experience given to our whole group by our guide named Ra. Funny guy who made the whole experience enjoyable for everyone. Recommend for people of all ages. Allow for a bit more time because we had someone in our group who was a very slow walker, no one’s fault but something hard to foresee.

Bring bug spray and apply very often. The lunch that was provided wasn’t very good. It was hard to understand stand the tour guide.

Absolutely fantastic day trip with John Jou and our driver, chou. Incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, tentative and made a beautiful experience even more special. The picnic lunch was also great for vegetarians too. Couldn't recommend more.

The trip was well organised and we never felt rushed and had plenty of time at each location to enjoy the views, pose for photos. I was caught off guard and hadn't expected the water current at the waterfall to be so strong. Despite this the trip was so memorable as Chenda looked after us and helped take some great pictures for us too. Lunch was delicious! Tour went like clockwork without any hiccups! Thanks for a great day out Chenda and our driver Mr Lisa.
