Phnom Kulen Sacred Mountain, River Carvings and Waterfall
Pick up at 8:00 AM from your hotel in Siem Reap. Escape the city and journey to the sacred Phnom Kulen National Park, one of Cambodia's most spiritual and beautiful destinations. Known as the birthplace of the ancient Khmer Empire, Kulen Mountain offers a perfect mix of nature, history, and culture. On the way up the mountain, stop at a mountain viewpoint. Then walk through the jungle to see the River of 1000 Lingas, where sacred carvings of Hindu gods and lingas lie beneath the riverbed and are believed to bless the waters that flow into Angkor. Continue to Preah Ang Thom and climb to the mountain-top pagoda to see the giant reclining Buddha statue carved into a huge sandstone rock, one of the most sacred pilgrimage sites for Cambodians. Afterward, relax, swim, and enjoy the refreshing natural pools at the stunning Kulen Waterfall, surrounded by lush tropical forest. It is a perfect spot to cool off and take beautiful photos. Enjoy local Cambodian food at a restaurant near the waterfall or down from the mountain before returning to Siem Reap in the afternoon. Return to your hotel around 3:30-4:00 PM.
