- 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 for generations. Observe the entire process from palm tree to sweet, golden crystals.
- Poeng Ta Kho (Amazing Cliff) - This viewpoint offers breathtaking panoramic views across canyons and forests. It’s a short walk from the parking area, but the views are truly rewarding.
- Preah Ang Thom Pagoda - Imagine an 8-meter reclining Buddha carved into the mountainside, with a history of 1,000 years of pilgrimages. Local families light incense, monks offer quiet prayers, and the ancient stone face seems to change expression with the 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, with a picnic spread on smooth rocks and waterfalls providing a natural soundtrack. Enjoy a refreshing swim in the cold, pure water where every pebble is visible.
- Siem Reap - Return to the hotel in Siem Reap.

A day in Phnom Kulen - Me and my friends had the chance to spend an amazing day in Phnom Kulen with Makara, who guided us though the mountain while sharing his incredible knowledge. It was such an unforgettable experience!
PS : Thank you Makara for the pictures and the incredible lunch! ;)

An authentic Cambodian experience - The tour was an extraordinary experience that allowed us to see fascinating places and fully immerse ourselves in the local culture. From the moment we were picked up at the hotel, our guide, Mr. Makara, proved to be very knowledgeable, kind, and genuine. He taught us several words in Khmer, which repeatedly made the people we met smile. Thanks to him, we now have a series of beautiful photos and videos capturing every stage of this wonderful experience, which ended with the most special encounter of all — meeting the elephants at the Sanctuary. The dedication of the community that takes care of these elephants is truly admirable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Siem Reap who wants to discover the most authentic and wild side of Cambodia.
Awkun thom thom Makara 🙏🏼

🌄 A Perfect Day at Kulen Mountain – A 10/10 Experience! - This tour was an absolute highlight of my entire trip and one of the most special memories I will carry with me forever. From the very beginning, everything was organized perfectly — smooth hotel pickup, comfortable transportation, and a friendly atmosphere throughout the day.
Our guide Mr. Sam was simply amazing — one of the kindest and most genuine people I’ve ever met. He treated every one of us like family, calling us brothers and sisters, and made sure we felt comfortable, cared for, and always smiling. His knowledge about the history of Kulen Mountain, the sacred sites, and Cambodian culture was incredible — and he explained everything in such an interesting and engaging way that we were excited throughout the journey. And on top of that, he’s a fantastic photographer! He captured some of the best pictures of me from my whole Cambodia trip. 📸
A big appreciation to our driver Mr. Sothea as well — a very kind and polite gentleman who was always waiting with cold water bottles and refreshing towels, ready to pick us up exactly when needed. Such thoughtful hospitality made the entire trip extra comfortable!
Our group had 10 people, but honestly, it never felt like anyone was a stranger. We laughed together, enjoyed stories, and had the best time — all thanks to Mr. Sam’s warm energy and fun sense of humor.
The places we visited were breathtaking — the beautiful waterfall, the refreshing swim, the peaceful nature, and the sacred sites on the mountain… every moment felt magical. The views from the cliff were unforgettable!
And the picnic lunch was one of the BEST meals I’ve had on any tour — delicious grilled chicken, rice, and lots of fresh fruits like banana, lychee, dragon fruit and many more. I really loved it! Vegetarian options were also available, which is amazing. Overall, the food was worth every penny and added so much to the experience.
I have so much more I could say… but most importantly:
This tour is a MUST-DO in Siem Reap! Truly a 10/10 experience and highly recommended to everyone traveling here. Thank you so much to Mr. Sam and Mr. Sothea for making this day so unforgettable! 🙏✨🌄
