We depart from your hotel with private transportation to Phnom Kulen National Park. Located 50kms from Siem Reap city, our drive to Phnom Kulen quickly changes from built up city living to the wide open rice fields and scattered villages with traditional houses. The drive is an experience in itself as we wind our way up the rocky road to the top of the mountain, with its highest point being 487 metres.

Phnom Kulen is widely regarded as the birthplace of the ancient Khmer Empire. During the constructional period of the ancient temples, sand stones were brought from this sacred mountain to Angkor. Kulen is considered by Khmers to be the most sacred mountain in Cambodia.

We have the opportunity to visit the River of 1000 Lingas, which is thousands symbols carved along a riverbed which is divided into three ports for the Hindu trinity gods. We continue to the summit of the hill and we visit the Buddhist Pagoda and the large Reclining Buddha statue.
