- Villager House - The journey begins with an authentic Cambodian experience. Witness locals in their morning routines, vast expanses of lush rice fields, and traditional wooden stilt houses. The first destination is the Palm Sugar Village, where families have been producing traditional Cambodian sugar in the same way for generations. Observe the entire process from palm tree to sweet, golden crystals.
- Poeng Ta Kho (Amazing Cliff) - This viewpoint offers breathtaking panoramic views that extend across canyons and forests as far as the eye can see. It’s just a short walk from the parking area, but the reward is spectacular.
- Preah Ang Thom Pagoda - Imagine an 8-meter reclining Buddha carved directly into the mountainside – a site of pilgrimage for 1,000 years. Local families light incense, monks offer quiet prayers, and the ancient stone face seems to change expression with the shifting light. Whether spiritual or not, standing here is a unique experience.
- 1000 Lingas - Thousands of sacred fertility symbols carved into the riverbed by 11th-century priests, transforming the flowing water into holy water for the entire Angkor kingdom.
- Phnom Kulen Waterfall - This is where the day becomes truly delightful. Crystal-clear pools fed by limestone-filtered mountain water, a picnic spread on smooth rocks with waterfalls as the soundtrack. Then, enjoy a refreshing swim in cold water so pure you can see every pebble.
- Siem Reap - Return to the hotel in Siem Reap.

Real experience of special Buddhist site - We enjoyed our day.
It was interesting to stop in a local village and enjoy local food.
Our guide Mr SA was very informative.
The picnic spot was lovely and the swim was refreshing. It was very busy the day we went due to the New Year’s holiday but we had a prime spot. Lunch was delicious.
It was an honour to be able to experience the Buddhist celebrations.

Such a fun day. From the... - Such a fun day. From the surprise stop
for palm cakes and kapok pepper to a temple on a hill, a cliff side view, the river with 1000 lingas and a gourmet lunch at the waterfall. It was not too crowded, the water felt fantastic and our guide Mr. Sa was excellent.

Kulen Mountain trip - Very informative tour with a very knowledgeable guide. Sam was entertaining, he had a lot of stories to share and made lots of jokes. He takes great photos as well. Our driver, Jame was also great. He ensured we had cool water throughout the tour and cool towels when we returned to the van. We had a few stops on the way to the waterfall with beautiful views. Lunch at the waterfall was good - chicken, rice, spring rolls and fresh fruit. Overall, a well organised and insightful tour

Amazing day at Kulen National Park - We had a amazing day on this tour today with Mony and our driver Leap. The tour was well organised and Mony was friendly, helpful and informative and looked after us very well. It was very hot but we were offer cold bottles of water and cold towels to keep us cool. Lunch was delicious also. This is a great tour of the highlights of the park with not too much trekking in the heat.

He was so easy to talk to and made us feel so at ease throughout the trip. The views were breathtaking! Our food was prepared by the locals and was super yummy!! I love how this tour supports the community and involves small businesses throughout the trip. If you get a chance to do this tour do it you will not be disappointed!!

Impressive Picnic Lunch by the Waterfall! - This was such an incredible experience! Mr. Kim was our guide and kept the tour very organized and efficient. I felt each spot was give an appropriate amount of time for us to explore. Mr. Kim also ensured to keep us informed of the full historical background of each spot. The biggest highlight of the tour was definitely the picnic lunch by the waterfall! I came in expecting a simple sandwich, but it was a full on meal, prepared by locals in the area and we got a private cabin right next to the waterfall to enjoy our food at our own leisure. This was definitely one of the best tours I’ve had in Cambodia and would highly recommend doing it, especially if you’re a solo traveler!

Visit to Khulen mountain and 1000 linga river - The tour with Mr. Ho was truly amazing. He made our journey through some of the holy places of cambodia memorable with his insights and understanding of the history and religion. The food provided was simple and amazing. They even managed to arranged a vegetarian meal without any issues. The waterfall was however a little crowded but the place is beautiful and worth a visit. Highly recommend the tour
