This tour offers a glimpse into local life, allowing observation of daily activities such as rice cultivation, palm sugar production, palm cake crafting, and fruit cultivation. Ascending to the mountaintop reveals an unparalleled panoramic view, followed by a visit to the Great Buddha atop the mountain, constructed in the 16th century, a time marked by the growing influence of Buddhism among the Cambodian people. At 1000 Linga River, visitors encounter a national park area rich with remnants of the glorious Khmer culture and civilization from the early Angkor period, including intricately designed sculptures dating back over 1,000 years. Additionally, one can indulge in the experience of bathing beneath a majestic 20-meter-high waterfall, renowned as one of the most breathtaking waterfalls in Cambodia.

Preah Ang Thom is an 8 meters (26 ft) tall statue of the reclining Buddh reaching nirvana. The statue is carved into a huge natural sandstone boulder to which a modern staircase has been added along with a shelter over the Buddha. It is a very sacred and special site for all Cambodians and there are always patrons visiting the site and at times becoming quite busy.

There are two main waterfall in Phnom Kulen National Park.

First waterfall: 4–5 metres (13–16 ft) tall and around 25 metres (82 ft) wide during the rainy seasons.
Second waterfall: 15–20 metres (49–66 ft) tall and around 15 metres (49 ft) wide during the rainy seasons.
The size of the waterfalls varies according to the seasons and the rain. Visiting the waterfalls is a popular activity on Kulen Mountain Tour.

Along a stretch of the riverbed for around 500 m there are carvings of linga, several big and small yoni, and a large carving of Vishnu. Along the walls of the riverbed, a small carving is also seen in the bedrock.

Lunch at Romchong Angkor restaurant at Banteay Srei.

The village of Preah Dak, located a short drive from Siem Reap town, is known over the country for its famous nom ban chok noodles. Though thanks to a proactive district governor, it has also gathered fame as the pilot village for a ‘One Village, One Light Bulb’ scheme whereby each of the 518 households has been supplied solar panels to generate electricity. There are plans to roll out this scheme across other villages in the district. Preah Dak is also doing its bit by sorting rubbish and keeping itself clean. Basically, it has become a model village, though definitely retaining its authenticity and beauty. It’s definitely worth a visit to see typical village life, eat some noodles and watch basket makers at work.

After a full day of exploring Kulen Mountain’s highlights, including the Reclining Buddha, River of a Thousand Lingas, and the waterfalls, Banteay Srei temple, we will begin the return journey in the late afternoon. The drive back to Siem Reap takes about 1.5 hours, and we will drop you off at your hotel around 4PM to 5:00 PM, ensuring a comfortable and relaxing end to your tour.
