Full description

This is an 8-hour experience from Siem Reap, built around Jeep / SUV, Phnom Kulen National Park and Preah Ang Choub Pagoda. It is run by About Cambodia Travel and Tours, 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.

Pickup is offered from Krong Siem Reap and Krong Siem Reap; the exact spot and time are agreed with About Cambodia Travel and Tours once the booking is confirmed, and the option you choose sets whether transport is included.

The price covers Hotel pickup and drop-off, Licensed tour guide, Private roundtrip transfer by air-conditioned vehicle, All sightseeing entrance tickets and Phnom Kulen National park ticket. It does not cover Tipping for tour guide and driver and All another account are not mentioned in the inclusion above, 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.

Important information

Meeting point

The operator confirms the exact meeting point and time once your booking is confirmed, and you will have it well before the day. If you would rather know before you book, message us on WhatsApp and we will ask them for you.

Weather

This runs outdoors, so the operator can call it off for rain, wind or sea conditions, and that decision is usually made on the day. If they cancel, you choose: another date, or your money back in full. We do not keep a booking fee on a tour that did not run.

Es war eine sehr schöne Tour und eine großartige Erfahrung. Unser Tourguide war sehr freundlich, hatte viel Wissen und sprach sehr gut englisch. Die Wanderung auf den Phnom Kulen dauert etwa 2 Stunden. Die restlichen Ziele werden mit dem Auto angefahren, was aufgrund der Hitze auch zu empfehlen ist. Gerade die Wanderung war aber sehr faszinierend. Leider ist am Wegesrand einiges an Müll gewesen. Das war etwas schade, weil die Landschaft wunderschön ist.
