Kulen Mountain, Beng Melea, and Kampong Phluk …
Full description
A 1-day trip from Siem Reap that visits Krong Siem Reap and Beng Mealea. The price covers Private Transport by air-conditioned vehicle, Private Driver with license and Professional guide with license. It does not cover lunch at a local restaurant, entrance fees to kulen mountain and beng and boat ride to kampong phluck, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price. The Tonle Sap is the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia and it reverses direction twice a year: in the monsoon the Mekong pushes water back up the Tonle Sap river and the lake swells several times over, then drains again from about November. The villages on it live with that. Kampong Phluk's stilt houses stand six to ten metres up on their legs, dry underneath in March and wading depth in October; Kampong Khleang is larger, further out and far less visited; Chong Kneas is closest to Siem Reap and the most touristed. Which village works, and whether the boat can reach the flooded forest at all, depends entirely on the month. The price steps with party size rather than multiplying: 1 traveller is $290, 5 is $290 and 8 is $580. You are quoted the total for your party, not a per-head rate. Private Siem Reap Tour Guide & Transport runs it. We book with them directly, so the guide who meets you works for the operator rather than for a reseller.

Traveler Reviews
Nous avons passé une journée exceptionnelle à Siem Reap en compagnie de notre chauffeur et guide privé Tong. Grâce à lui, nous avons pu découvrir à notre rythme la montagne Kulen, ses cascades rafraîchissantes et la rivière aux 1000 Lingas, un lieu aussi paisible que fascinant. Malgré la forte affluence liée au Nouvel An Khmer, Tong a su éviter les routes encombrées et nous a emmenés déjeuner dans un endroit calme, en pleine nature. Ses explications tout au long de la journée étaient claires, précises et passionnantes, ce qui a grandement enrichi notre visite. Un grand merci pour sa gentilless
