- 1000 Lingas - Explore the River of 1000 Lingas, where hundreds of lingas are intricately carved into the sandstone riverbed. Legend has it that King Jayavarman II bathed in these sacred waters, believing them to be holy.
- Preah Ang Thom Pagoda - Phnom Kulen holds great symbolic significance for Cambodia as the birthplace of the ancient Khmer Empire. It was here that King Jayavarman II declared independence from Java in 802 AD. A half-hour drive leads to the summit of Koulen Mountain, where visitors can explore the 16th-century Buddhist Temple (Phra Ang Tho), the site of King Jayavarman II’s historic proclamation.
- Phnom Kulen Waterfall - Located in Phnom Kulen National Park, Cambodia, the Kulen Waterfall is surrounded by lush greenery and cascades into a clear pool. This sacred site is often visited for its spiritual importance. The tranquil atmosphere and stunning scenery make Kulen Falls a perfect destination for nature enthusiasts.
- Beng Mealea - Discover the fascinating Beng Mealea temple, located outside the Angkor area. Built by King Suryavarman II in the 11th century, it served as a prototype for the renowned Angkor Wat. Beng Mealea Temple, almost forgotten in the jungle, offers an adventurous journey to reach it. Isolated during Cambodia’s civil war, it is the largest temple outside the main Angkor complex. Some parts remain remarkably intact, while others are completely destroyed, with tree roots enveloping many walls and doorways. The eerie atmosphere provides a refreshing contrast to the more frequented temples near Angkor Wat. Beng Mealea shares many features with Angkor Wat, but on a smaller scale, including three encircling galleries, four gates and entrances, and a pair of interior libraries. Unlike Angkor Wat, it has only one central tower instead of five.
- Ancient Quarry - Visit the site where the Khmer people quarried stone to construct Angkor Wat. Hundreds of stone pieces, cut and left since the 12th century, can be seen here. A tour guide will explain the stone-cutting techniques and how the ancient people transported them to build Angkor Wat.
