Begin your adventure with a morning hotel pickup in Siem Reap. Secure your Kulen Mountain ticket before embarking on a scenic 1-hour drive through serene rice paddies and traditional Cambodian villages, offering a glimpse into rural life and breathtaking landscapes.

Visit Palm Cake Village to observe the traditional process of making palm cake. Then, ascend to Phnom Kulen’s summit with your local guide to explore the park’s wonders.

I signed up because I wanted to visit Beng Mealea and Lake Tonle Sap. It was a solo trip, but thanks to Sam, I ended up with many great photos. Even if you don’t have Sam as your guide, the ruins alone are worth the visit. Since we couldn’t make it to Mount Kulen, I highly recommend this tour if you have several days to explore!

I had an unforgettable day exploring Kulen Mountain, Beng Mealea, and the Tonle Sap floating village with our fantastic guide, Sotin. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole trip smooth and enjoyable. One highlight was a peaceful picnic by the waterfall in Kulen National Park, with great food, beautiful surroundings, and a refreshing swim afterward. Beng Mealea was breathtaking and mysterious, feeling like a lost world overtaken by the jungle. The floating village on Tonle Sap offered a humbling insight into a lifestyle I’d never encountered before. Everything was well organized, and Sotin’s storytelling truly brought each place to life. I couldn’t have asked for a better guide or a more memorable experience. Highly recommended!

Thank you, Mr. Raman, for a wonderful day that opened our eyes to everything beyond Siem Reap there’s so much more than just Angkor Wat. We visited Mount Koulen, where the views were absolutely breathtaking. Then we explored a unique Buddhist temple and a beautiful pre Angkor structure, which, although mostly in ruins, still shows the grandeur it once had. We also stopped by a stunning fishing village built on stilts, and made several other stops along the way to see local crafts. All in all, a highly recommended tour!
