Phnom Kulen Waterfall and the Sacred 1000 Lingas (with Lunch)
Full description
This is a 9-hour experience from Siem Reap, built around Phnom Kulen National Park, Preah Ang Thom Pagoda and Phnom Kulen Waterfall. It is run by Siem Reap Shuttle, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.
Phnom Kulen is the sandstone plateau the Angkor temples were quarried from and the place where Jayavarman II declared himself universal monarch in 802, which is the founding date Cambodians give their empire. The road up is steep and the site carries its own USD 20 entry, separate from the Angkor Pass. At the top are the two-tier waterfall people swim under, the river bed carved with lingas at Kbal Spean's larger cousin, and a reclining Buddha cut into a boulder at the summit pagoda, reached barefoot. It is a full day from Siem Reap and best in or just after the rains, when the falls actually run.
The price covers Included, Hotel pickup and drop-off, Transportation by air-conditioned vehicle, guide and Phnom Kulen entrance ticket. It does not cover Not Included, Tips/gratuities and Additional drinks, 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.

Traveler Reviews
We had a fantastic waterfall tour in Siem Reap and thoroughly enjoyed every part of the day. In addition to the beautiful waterfalls, we visited the impressive Reclining Buddha and several stunning viewpoints with amazing views of the surrounding landscape. A special thank you to Chenda, our tour guide, who was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience both fun and informative. Their local knowledge and enthusiasm helped make the day truly memorable. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore the natural beauty and cultural highlights of Siem Reap.
Tour was great! Our guide Nara was really enthousiastic and explained a lot about the history and the culture. View was beautiful! Our driver Lili was also very kind and provided an excellent drive and great service in the bus. Would definitely recommend!
Incredible day from start to finish. Would highly recommend! The roads are a tad bumpy, if you get car sick then make sure you are prepared beforehand with some nausea tablets.
Nara was the best guide I’ve had during my month in SE Asia. This was one of my favorite days of the entire trip as a result. Very cool to venture in the park, see communities, and swim near the falls.
I had a fun time on the Phnom Kulen waterfall tour. We got to be out in nature and learn a little bit about the history. My guide John Chou was awesome! He was told us a lot of information, made sure we were all happy, and he also took great pictures. The driver Tanger was safe on the roads. I definitely recommend this tour if you wanna be out in nature!
I can definitely recommend this trip. The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable, and the trip was well-organized with enough time at each stop. I would just avoid booking on a Sunday, as it’s a day off and everyone goes to Phnom Kulen Waterfall to relax, so it gets overcrowded.
This was an amazing experience - definitely must try. Please request Nara he was an amazing tour guide and very informative and fun.
Mr chenda was an excellent guide and even more amazing photographer. also credit to the transport team. who arrived early and were happy to wait for us to finish our breakfast
We had an amazing day, the cliff and waterfalls are really pretty. Chandra our tour guide made our trip really entertaining. I even listen to the history, he has special way of delivering that didn’t bore me at all. Oh what I love about him is he took our pictures and videos. We didn’t even have to bother taking our own boring selfies. He got you covered. If not how Chandra delivered the introduction of the 1000 lingas, I think we wouldn’t be that interested. Food taste really good.
A very good trip to the Kulen Waterfall. Saw the 1000 lingas and sculptures in water bed. Very beautiful Waterfall. Our guide Mr. Lou was very informative and helpful to take beautiful pictures. A day well spent.
Tour has been really interesting and we also enjoyed the swim at the waterfall. Moreover, Nara has been a really knowledgeable and really kind guide! Highly recommended!
I had one of the best experiences since I started to travel. First of all, the guide confirmed to me the pick up time and he was there sharply at the time we scheduled. Then we met the lovely guide Mr. King Kong who shared very nice informations about all of the places we’ve been to, local culture and history. He is a very knowledgeable person and with a very good humor. The driver was also very good. The roads to that we take are a bit bumpy but he drives very well and I felt safe. I also would like to highlight that the time management was perfect. We had enough time to enjoy all of the expe
