A full day tour to explore the mountains, waterfalls and remote temples of Phnom Kulen and the Roluos Group of temples. Pick up at 8:00am in your hotel lobby for a 2-hour journey through rural Cambodia to our first destination. Considered by Khmers as the most sacred mountain in Cambodia, it is a place of pilgrimage. Main stops at Phnom Kulen include admiring the panoramic vistas from the massive reclining Buddha, the biggest of its kind in Cambodia, the “River of a Thousand Lingas” carving of sacred lingas on the river banks and the waterfalls of Phnom Kulen. We stop to take a dip in the cool waters and visit the nearby temple ruins. Lunch embraces the outdoors with a quiet picnic on the mountains, a favorite among the locals.

On return to Siem Reap, we stop for a visit at the Roluos temples of Preah Ko and Bakong, from the first capital of the Khmer Empire.
