Private Phnom Kulen Forest Trekking & Waterfall Tour

Escape into the lush, sacred peaks of Phnom Kulen—the ancient birthplace of the Khmer Empire, where King Jayavarman II proclaimed independence in 802 CE. Known historically as Mahendraparvata, this holy mountain remains a deeply revered pilgrimage site for both Hindus and Buddhists. On this private guided trek, step off the tourist trail to discover ancient rock-carved sanctuaries, hidden forest monoliths, and sacred riverbed sculptures. Complete your adventure with a refreshing dip in the mountain’s famous cascading waterfalls before returning comfortably to Siem Reap.
• Key Highlights: Birthplace of the Khmer Empire, riverbed linga carvings, hidden stone elephant monoliths, 16th-century Reclining Buddha, cliffside views, and natural waterfall swimming.
• Requirements: Moderate physical fitness required for an ~8 km jungle trek; bring a change of clothes if you wish to swim.

Description

Begin with a convenient morning pickup from your hotel lobby before heading northeast toward Phnom Kulen National Park. As you ascend the sacred mountain, your private guide will introduce the rich history, spiritual legends, and cultural heritage of this ancient kingdom.

Hike out to Poeng Ta Kho, a dramatic sandstone cliff ledge perched high above the forest floor. Take in sweeping, uninterrupted views over the lush jungle canopy of Phnom Kulen National Park and enjoy incredible photo opportunities across the wilderness.

Stroll along the riverbanks to witness hundreds of 11th-century Hindu lingams and mythological figures sculpted directly into the sandstone riverbed. Learn how these sacred carvings were created to sanctify the waters flowing down into the ancient city of Angkor.

Trek deeper into the shaded forest to discover Srah Damrei, one of the mountain’s most impressive off-the-beaten-path treasures. Stand before colossal, life-sized stone sculptures carved from mountain bedrock over a thousand years ago, including a majestic 3-meter-tall elephant and guardian lions.

Visit Preah Ang Thom, the spiritual centerpiece of Phnom Kulen. Ascend the grand staircase to pay homage to the massive 16th-century Reclining Buddha sculpted directly out of a giant natural sandstone boulder at the mountain’s summit.

Conclude your trek at the famous multi-tiered Phnom Kulen Waterfall. Cool off with a refreshing swim in the clear mountain pools, relax along the shaded wooden banks, and take in the natural surroundings before enjoying a smooth drop-off back at your hotel.

Group: $230.00 ( Max. 6 pax )

Private Banteay Chhmar Jungle Temple Tour from Siem Reap

Private Tour

This is a private one day trip for those need a highlight in Adventure Off the beaten track exploration, architecture, history, people and countryside. Fantastic Adventure from the crowd. This late 12th – early 13th century Buddhist temple is located in the northwest corner of Cambodia's Banteay Meanchay province and only 20km from the Thai border. It is one of the largest temple-city complexes built by a Khmer king. The temple is in a bad state of preservation as no restoration efforts were conducted here in the 20th century. The layout resembles Angkor Thom and other structures attributed to Jayavarman VII. The outer gallery is carved with bas-relief depicting military engagements and daily life scenes very similar to the well known ones in Bayon.

Private Half Day Trip to Genocidal Museum & Killing Field

Private Tour, What To See
Rated 5.00 out of 5
We come face to face with the horrific crimes of the Khmer Rouge. Tuol Sleng was a former high school that the Khmer Rouge turned into a centre for interrogation, torture and death. Today it is a museum of torture and serves to remind visitors of the terrible atrocities that came to pass in Cambodia. 17,000 people passed through the gates of this prison and only seven lived to tell the tale. We then travel out of town to the Killing Fields of ChoengEk. Prisoners from Tuol Sleng followed this same route to their fate. An old Chinese cemetery, ChoengEk was turned into an extermination camp for political prisoners. The remains of 8985 people were exhumed from mass graves and are kept in a memorial stupa here. Despite the horrors of the past, it is a peaceful place to go and a tranquil spot to reflect on the tragic events that engulfed Cambodia and its people. Back to hotel and drop off.

Private One Day Exploration at Thousands of Linga, Kbal Spean and Lady Temple

Private Tour, What To See
Put on your walking shoes and discover the Cambodian jungle! Hidden from the beaten track lies Kbal Spean with the “River of Thousand Lingas” and an impressive waterfall. To get to the top of Kbal Spean and appreciate the intricately carved stone river bed you have to conquer a fairly steep incline, but fear not – the path is well worn and the biggest obstacles and boulders are overcome by series of well maintained wooden staircases, yet at least medium level of fitness is required for this 3km jungle walk. On your way back you will visit a small temple of Banteay Srei well known for its beautiful delicate carvings in warm pink sandstone. This late 10th century structure is fairly compact and very different from other Angkorian temples. To round off your day you may also visit Banteay Samre – a larger temple which is often overlooked by tourists and looks gorgeous in late afternoon light. Let a local host show you around and experience this cultural attraction from a local perspective.
