Memorable Jeep Trip to Khulen Mountain

A great day out from Siem Reap to Khulen Mountain with guide Mr Khann and an excellent driver. As warned we ended up covered in red dust from the roads - don’t wear white we were told and it was good advice! We visited the reclining Buddha, the 1000 lingas and swam briefly in the waterfall, all of which were very busy with locals because it was the Bon om Touk festival. Lunch was by a riverbank and was delicious. We are both quite fit and would have been willing to walk more during the day, the day was mainly spent in the jeep. It’s quite a bumpy ride on most of the roads but the jeep was surprisingly comfortable. You get to see the countryside and rice fields etc. along the way. We asked to stop at Banteay Srei and the Landmine Museum on the way back - entrance to these wasn’t included but we already had Angkor Wat passes and wanted to see the Landmine Museum. It was a long day but very memorable and the jeep was great fun.

Had the best time on the tour!! Mr. Kuysin took us on an adventure on a jeep to check out mountains and waterfalls. Such pretty sights, interesting history, and delicious food! Our guide, Mr. Kuysin, was amazing!! He was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. He was also super flexible and allowed us to stay in places for as long as we wanted. Loved the tour and loved our guide!! Definitely recommend!!

We were very happy to see Vong in our hotel lobby when we started the day, since we’d already enjoyed a tour with him through Ankor Park a few days prior and had had a great day. So it came to no surprise to us that the tour to Phnom Kulen with him was just as great, if not even better. We thought we were a bit unlucky with the weather, since it had been raining, but far from it - it spared us the dust that normally goes along with riding on red dirt roads. And for every other downside to the rain that had come down in prior days Vong had a perfect solution - for example he took us to a serene lokal lunch spot where we could swim in the river, instead of swimming at the waterfall that was to muddy due to the rainfall the prior night. So to summ it up, our adventure with Cambodia Jeep, guided by the wonderful Vong Rat, was an amazing experience. It's with great pleasure that I give this full-day tour a perfect five-star rating. We would do it again in a heartbeat.
Fun Day!

Overall we loved the experience, the jeeps were fun, our guide was excellent and very knowledgeable, but I wasn’t blown away by the stops at 1000 lingas and the waterfall, just kind of meh for me. However, we all had a great day, made some great memories and I would recommend the tour.
Great experience!

I had a great tour with my son today to the above places. The organization was perfect, the driver picked us up on time at the hotel and gave us an unforgettable day, with his super local knowledge and accompanying explanations of culture and history we went off the usual tourist routes via dirt roads and unpaved roads overland to Phnom Koulen Park, a great experience to get an impression of the country and people and unreservedly recommend, thank you, 5 stars of me
Perfect trip

It was a perfect trip. The jeep arrived at the hotel at the appointed time. Enjoy the off road roads, the good guide Chile who to our surprise also knows a little Dutch. I would recommend this to anyone. It was such a fun day that the day after we booked another trip "trip through Siem Reap + boat trip Tonle Sap which was also worth it. Thank you for the nice days.

Pasil was an amazing tour guide throughout our trip up Phnom Kulen! He is very knowledgeable and amenable to what you want to see and experience throughout the day. He helped my husband and I find many vegetarian cultural snacks throughout the day and taught us much about the Khmer's rich history and culture.
Very Irresponsible and disappointing

I booked this tour for 2nd Jan 2019 via tripadvisor on 31st Dec 2018. I have received the email confirmation and e-ticket by tripadvisor, no further confirmation from this company Cambodia Jeep. They are supposed to pick us up from the hotel at 8am. I sent an email to them at 8:30am to ask if the tour is confirmed as no one came, and our hotel staff started to call them since then, for several time, they said the driver and tour guide are coming, however, after 2 hours of waiting, no one showed up, Cambodia Jeep and I agreed to cancel the tour over the phone, they promised they will do a full refund (about US$260 for two people) plus 10% of the fee as compensation, but so far they have not answered any of my emails. I am not sure if they will keep their promise for the refund. As tourists, we have very limited time in Siem Reap, Cambodia Jeep could have told us earlier if they couldn't make it, but we wasted two hours of waiting, and had to switch plan at the last minute. Until now, more than a week passed since the cancellation of tour, Cambodia Jeep never answered any emails, very unprofessional.
