Siem Reap
We will pick you up from your hotel in Siem Reap between 6:30 AM and 7:00 AM in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle. The journey to the mountain takes approximately 2 hours, offering scenic views of the Cambodian countryside along the way. You will spend the day exploring Phnom Kulen’s historical and natural attractions, including the cliff, the Reclining Buddha, the River of a Thousand Lingas, and the waterfall, as well as Koh Ker Group temples and Beng Mealea Temple. After a full day of exploration, we will drop you off at your hotel in the evening, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience from start to finish.
Poeng Ta Kho (amazing Cliff)
We have visited Peng Chruonh, also known as Peung Takhu, a hidden natural viewpoint located on the ridge of Kulen Mountain. Before reaching the base of the mountain, we have seen a small signpost on the left side of the road, just 50 meters from the turnoff. This quiet spot has given us beautiful views and a peaceful atmosphere.

Recommended for Kulen, Ko Ke and Bemmeria

5.00In the Mount Kulen area, we enjoyed nature and Cambodian culture with cliffs, waterfalls, 1000 linga and the Nirvana Buddha. Ko Kea area is far from Siem Reap city so it's quiet, but it turns out there used to be a city here. Although Bemmeria has not been restored, it is a beautiful site that makes you feel the passage of time. The tour was conducted in English, but the guide, Mr. Tan, explained it clearly, and the car was comfortable, with water and a tumble. This tour is recommended for exploring this area.

5.00Tann is one of the best guides we have ever had. Knowledgeable, friendly, good sense of humour and ready to take photos for your memories. Just a delightful day.
Mountains, waterfalls and temples.

5.00I believe this is a tour that is new to Viator and it certainly is an amazing experience. The drive up to the mountains takes you through some pretty countryside. Waterfall was lovely and being close to the villages gives you a real insight into how these beautiful people live. The temples were the best part though. Such a variety of temples which so much old and mysterious history surrounding them. Tan, our tour guide was such a wealth of knowledge who guided us through the day effortlessly. He was very responsive to the needs of the tourists on board, and really looked after our well being on a rather hot day. He spoke very good English and was a genuinely nice person. My sister and I had the best day, long but well worth it.
Fantastic tour

5.00We had a very interesting day together with our excellent guide Sopheap Rath and excellent driver Nat. Sopheap shared his wide range of knowledge with us and Nat always provided us with cool refreshing towels and cold water. So in spite of the heat we really enjoyed the tour and can absolutely recommend it.

5.00We hesitated a lot before validating this day because of the rather high price of activity and admissions. We had already made 2 days of visit to the temples of Angkor and we were not sure if this day was worth the expense, but we wanted to go off the beaten track, in small group, and we absolutely do not regret our decision. The magnificent cliffs of Poeng Ta Kho, the casdade of Phnom Kulen, the 1000 lingas, the beautiful pagoda with the reclining Buddha, the Koh Ker complex with its huge pyramid and finally, in apotheosis, the magnificent temple of Beng Mealea. It was a fabulous day with our awesome driver guide, Tann. Everything was perfect. A high-end vehicle, super comfortable. The explanations in English and Tann's kindness. And that shared wonder in Beng Mealea, almost empty at the end of the day. What a marvel, this temple! One can imagine how the discoverers must have felt about this huge building, which has largely collapsed, but whose galleries and walls make it possible to imagine its past beauty. If you want to take full eyes, away from the crowds of Angkor, with extraordinary sites, then this day will exceed your expectations, I am sure!!!
Amazing

5.00We loved this tour! It allowed us to see many beautiful places all in one day. Great thing about this tour is that it starts early enough to catch these amazing places before other tourists – we were all alone at the waterfall!! Our tour guide Tann was super nice, told us a lot about Cambodia History and current events, he had great knowledge about the temples. He was also an amazing photographer and took a lot of pictures for us! The transportation was very comfortable, punctual, the lunch was tasty. Tour wasn’t rushed and we felt like we could experience places we visited exactly as we wanted. We highly recommend taking this tour, its a new tour so it doesnt have many reviews but i’m sure it will be very popular soon.
Highly recommended hike with Tann

5.00This new activity proposed by Tann and his company was perfect. The guide was punctual and always very attentive to our needs. He offered us fresh water, small snacks and fresh towels every time we returned to the car. The spotless and new car. The guide took us to see some enchanting places: Kulen Mountain, the River of a Thousand Lingas, Koh Ker and other temples, Beng Melea and much more. We did not expect to see so many things (but the ride was still quiet and unhurried). The organization was very good and we did not find too many tourists, indeed we often admired the temples and places alone. Tann was really kind and prepared. Highly recommended activity.
Excellent full day tour in Koh Ker, Kulen Waterfalls and Beng Mealea

5.00I had a wonderful full day private tour with Tann. A long day spent in Koh Ker, Kulen Waterfalls and Beng Mealea...it almost l lasted 12 hours, including a break for lunch. Tann brilliantly acted as a driver and tour guide. Everything ran smoothly. I would recommend the tour to everybody who is in the Siem Reap area to see different things.
