Divine touch of Kulen Cambodia - Our trip with guide San and driver Mom was amazing! Every step was smooth, full of respect and sincerity. Guide San is very intelligent and full ir knowledges. He knows the history, nature and culture of the country very well. He is a great speaker - a true professional. And driver Mom - a truly qualified driver - we, the travelers, felt safe, surrounded by care - drinks, hand towels, air conditioning of the car, and the right speed were taken care of. The trip to Kulen Mountain was magical, good intentions and spirit accompanied us the whole way. We definitely be back.

An amazing day on Kulen mountain - We had a fantastic day on Kulen mountain with our guide, Voath, who was very friendly and knowledgeable, and took plenty of care answering all the questions a 6-year old has!
We were very lucky to see Kulen in July, when the area was relatively quiet and vibrantly green from the rains. Seeing the shrines was amazing, and being able to swim under a waterfall is something we will always remember.
Thank you, Voath!

Refreshing - Standing under the waterfall is a must. It was refreshing as the climate was very hot and humid. 1000 lingas was interesting.

Nak was a very friendly and informative guide, very helpful and happy to take photos for us. driver Dara was excellent. - Easy walking paths, mostly shaded. Cold water and wash cloths provided by driver Dara.
Pack your swimmers and towel to enjoy a swim at the waterfall. Highly recommended. Nak and Dara were a great crew. Van was spotless with good air-conditioning.

Brilliant trip all round - Had a amazing day on this tour of kulen mountain. The tour guide sophy was such a friendly guy and provided us with so much information, knowledge and history of cambodia. The whole trip was very personal and professional with him taking photos with our phones and letting us try local products in the villages on the way to each location.
The temple , kulen mountain and the waterfall was out standing! The driver Mr pearom was also very friendly and provided us water throughout the trip , plus open the doors everytime we came back to the vehicle.
I'd recommend anyone taking this trip and very happy me and my friend did.

Take a dip in the waterfall - Whilst the individual sights you see are ok, the time travelling there and around consumes most of the day. Out of the 8.30am to 4pm tour, we were outside the transport for about 2 1/2 hours, not including the obligatory lunch stop at an overpriced restaurant on the way back.
The highlight is definitely the falls, as most of the other sights you'll see in the many temples and other tours of Siem Reap. Make sure you go for a swim, it's totally safe and nice to get a break from the heat.
