It's as if the river itself is whispering ancient tales of spirituality and magic. The River of a Thousand Lingas is not just a feast for the eyes; it's a spiritual journey that seamlessly blends natural beauty with artistic mastery.

Fantastic Tour with Lok

5.00This was a great experience overall. Our tour guide Lok was very knowledgeable and shared a lot about cambodian history on the way to the waterfall. The tour itself was very cool we saw the 1000 lingas and reclining buddha and then went on to see the waterfall at the end. The picnic lunch was very yummy as well. I would highly recommend doing this tour with Lok.

5.00Excellent excursion to discover Cambodian nature and landscapes, with a cool bath in the beautiful Kulen waterfall, but also to better understand the religious universe of Cambodia, and even its hydraulic structures. Icing on the cake: Cambodian lunch near the waterfall. A varied and full day. Many thanks to John for all his explanations, kindness and all the photos taken!
Worthwhile trip.

5.00Very informative. Our guide Nara and driver Lilie were great; we learnt a lot about the history of Cambodia and Nara was able to answer any questions. They also had a great sense of humour! Strongly recommend this trip.

5.00I had the absolute best time in the Kulen Mountains! I can’t decide which I liked more, the panoramic view, 1000 Linga, the reclining Buddha experience, or lunch at the waterfall. All offered unique experiences, all topped off with the information provided by our amazing guide, Chenga. He has the biggest heart and a ton of knowledge. Our driver was also incredible and was an experienced driver on those mountain roads! Highly recommend this tour!
Just Do it!
