Itinerary
We pick up from your hotel and transfer to the trekking sight at the foot of the national park Phnom Kulen
We start to trek from Preah Ang Choub Pagoda through the rainforest in the national park
There's one interesting waterfall on the end of thousand linga river. Good to relax, do picnic and swim.
amazing tale on how king turned the stream in to holy water by carving 1000 of linga's on the bed where it was believed that the water poses healing power and the king would bath at the waterfalls. the concept of the angkor wat comes from linga, mind blowing facts!
Very amazing temple especially how it is sitting on top of a rock. The inside is really amazing to see. It gets a little crowded but it's worth it to see it.
A massive Reclining Buddha on top of the hill is worth witnessing. It was also great to see some of the old Hindu sculptures preserved at this site.
Kulen Waterfall is one of the best attractions in Siam Reap that you must see and even swim in it, the mountain route is not recommended for someone with back or bone conditions
Don’t miss this view point on the way to Phnom Kulen. The cliff is called Poeung Ta Kho or “Amazing Cliff” and is best visited in the morning. Just make sure to stay at a safe distance from the edge.

Mr Leap was a great guide , very friendly and knockledgable, i would very much reccommend him. The tour started with a short hike ( 1.5 hours) and short walking trips after that plus being drven beteen locations. Not a difficult hike after the steps at the start. It is not a continuous hike. The only negative was the lunch location, it was very expensive relative to any other resturant we ve been to and we did not enjoy the food, maybe we were unlucky ?
