Siem Reap: Phnom Kulen Mountain Day Tour

Visit Phnom Kulen’s sacred sites and natural landmarks on a guided day trip from Siem Reap. See a reclining Buddha, river carvings, a waterfall, and a cliff viewpoint.
Leave Siem Reap behind and head into the lush landscapes of Phnom Kulen, one of Cambodia’s most sacred mountains and an important place in the history of the Khmer Empire. This guided day trip combines cultural heritage, spiritual sites, and natural scenery, making it a rewarding escape from the city.

Your first stop is Preah Ang Thom, home to a large reclining Buddha carved into a natural sandstone boulder. A major pilgrimage site for Cambodian Buddhists, it offers a calm and meaningful setting to learn more about local beliefs and traditions. From there, continue to the River of 1,000 Shiva Lingas, where ancient Hindu carvings are etched into the riverbed. These sculptures were created to bless the water flowing toward Angkor and remain one of Phnom Kulen’s most distinctive historic features.

The day also includes time at Phnom Kulen Waterfall, a popular natural site surrounded by forest, where you can relax and enjoy the scenery. Later, visit Poeng Ta Khu Cliff for broad views across the surrounding countryside and a memorable photo stop. After exploring Phnom Kulen’s spiritual and natural highlights, the tour ends with your return to your hotel in Siem Reap.
