  2. Phnom Kulen National Park

    We drive 50 km northeast of Siem Reap to visit the natural day trip. Phnom Kulen (Lychee Mountain), a sandstone plateau considered sacred by the Khmers. This place is widely regarded as the birth place of the ancient Khmer Empire. Our vehicle will bring us by a steep dirt road near the top of the mountain; on the way up you will be able to admire dramatic scenery. There, you will see the ancient sculptures on the riverbed by crossing the bridge, then a stair will take you to a pagoda nestled between large rocks where you will see the biggest reclining Buddha of the country, carved in the rock. Enjoy the view of the countryside from there. The hike will continue towards the 30 meters high waterfalls where you will have a picnic lunch. This is a very popular place for Khmer people to come and enjoy their weekend with a picnic. More carvings stand in the riverbed above the waterfall. After a good and refreshing swim with the locals, (don’t forget your swimsuits).

  3. Prasat Beng Mealea

    We will continue to the temple of Beng Melea, 7 km southeast of Phnom Kulen. Beng Melea jungle temple was built during the 12th century during the reign of Suryavarman II, at about the same time as Angkor Wat of which its layout and style closely mirror. However, Beng Melea is completely ruined and largely overrun by vegetation and competes with Ta Prohm for the “lost in the jungle” ambience. It is a tangle of trees, lichen-covered stones, broken towers and galleries. Many impressive sculptures are hidden among the rubble and the vegetation. Return to your hotel after tour.

Amazing tour with Nak and Billy

We had the best time with Nak (our tour guide) and Billy (driver). Nak was so knowledgeable of the history of Kulen Mountain and Buddhism. He managed our tour so that we were able to avoid crowds and took the most amazing photos too! The waterfalls were absolutely breathtaking and the other sites were great to experience as well. I would definitely recommend this tour and Nak and Billy!

Day trip from Siem Reap

A very relaxing and interesting day trip wonderfully guided by Mr. Lonh! We have visited the Beng Mealea Temple, we had local food and fruit thanks to Mr. Lonh who knows very well the area. After that, we went to the water fall.. this place is amazing! On the way back we had lunch in a very good Khmer restaurant and discover how Cambodian people use the palm fruit to make sugar and other things! I highly recommend this day tour and, especially, Mr. Lonh!

Excellent

Our guide was excellent. Without his help I specially would not been able to see the beautiful things and visit the beautiful temple. I would say that our guide was one of the best and would be happy to have him show Cambodia when we visit again

Benjamin N · January 2018

Very informative tour guide and plenty of fun

This review is actually for two tours- Beng Mealea/Phnom Kulen, and half day at Kompong Phluk floating village. Our tour guide was Phearom (by coincidence) on both tours. He was very knowledgeable on both tours and really gave us an in-depth analysis of not only the sites we visited, but on the history of Cambodia, their civil war, the land mine problem, and with short stories of how it affected his own personal life. His English is fantastic and he's very nice! The tours themselves were very fun and interesting. Beng Melea temple is a must-see when it comes to the outlying temples. Do go if you get a chance to see more temples beyond Angkor Wat!

Kulen Waterfall, 1000 Linga River & Beng Mealea Small-Group Tour: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Siem Reap.

How much does Kulen Waterfall, 1000 Linga River & Beng Mealea Small-Group Tour cost?

+

Prices start at $50 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Siem Reap usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does Kulen Waterfall, 1000 Linga River & Beng Mealea Small-Group Tour take?

+

Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Siem Reap is not rushed.

Is Kulen Waterfall, 1000 Linga River & Beng Mealea Small-Group Tour worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Siem Reap, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Kulen Waterfall, 1000 Linga River & Beng Mealea Small-Group Tour?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is Kulen Waterfall, 1000 Linga River & Beng Mealea Small-Group Tour suitable for kids and families?

+

Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

How far in advance should I book Kulen Waterfall, 1000 Linga River & Beng Mealea Small-Group Tour?

+

Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Siem Reap can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Siem Reap and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Kulen Waterfall, 1000 Linga River & Beng Mealea Small-Group Tour start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Siem Reap within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Siem Reap?

+

On Outty we rank every Siem Reap experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Angkor Wat Sunrise or Sunset Small-Group and Guide tours, Angkor Wat full Day 'Small Group with sunset & Tour Guide, Angkor Wat Sunrise or Sunset Tour with Guide from Siem Reap. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Siem Reap?

+

Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Siem Reap?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
