Siem Reap - Kulen Mountain with Beng Mealea and Tonle Sap Tour:
Guests will be picked up from their hotel between 7:30-8:00 am – please be ready in the lobby by 7:30 am. It’s going to be a full day, but every moment will be rewarding. -
Preah Dak - The journey begins with an authentic Cambodian experience. Witness locals in their morning routines, vast green rice fields, and traditional wooden stilt houses. The first stop is the Palm Sugar Village, where families have been producing traditional Cambodian sugar for generations. Observe the entire process from palm tree to sweet, golden crystals.
-
Poeng Ta Kho (Amazing Cliff) - This is a significant site – the birthplace of the Angkor Empire. Climb to the top of Kulen Mountain for breathtaking views, and visit the large reclining Buddha carved into the rock. Next, explore the River of a Thousand Lingas – these ancient carvings in the riverbed are truly astonishing. The viewpoint offers panoramic views across canyons and forests as far as the eye can see. It’s a short walk from the parking area, but the reward is immense.
-
Preah Ang Thom Pagoda - Imagine an 8-meter reclining Buddha carved into the mountainside – a site visited by pilgrims for 1,000 years. Local families light incense, monks offer quiet prayers, and the ancient stone face seems to change expression with the light. Whether spiritual or not, standing here is a unique experience.
-
1000 Lingas - Thousands of sacred fertility symbols carved into the riverbed by 11th-century priests, transforming flowing water into holy water for the entire Angkor kingdom.
-
Phnom Kulen Waterfall - This is where the day becomes truly enjoyable. Crystal-clear pools fed by limestone-filtered mountain water, with a picnic on smooth rocks and waterfalls as the soundtrack. Then, take a refreshing swim in the cold water, so clear you can see every pebble.
-
Beng Mealea - After lunch, visit something truly special. Beng Mealea Temple resembles what Angkor Wat might look like if nature had fully reclaimed it. Built in the 12th century, this temple is enveloped in jungle vines and massive tree roots. It’s raw, authentic, and feels like a hidden discovery.
-
Kompong Phluk - The final stop is one of Cambodia’s most intriguing floating villages. Families live entirely on the water, surrounded by towering stilt houses and dense mangrove forests. Visit a Buddhist monastery built on an artificial island – it’s a sight unlike any other.
-
Siem Reap - Return to town by 6:30 pm. Choose to head straight to the hotel to rest or be dropped off at the Old Market for evening shopping and dinner. The choice is yours.

- The end of March to the end of June is a crucial time in all the floating villages in Siem Reap, as the water levels start to recede and present a unique opportunity for tourists to experience a new perspective. Although the picturesque landscape of the floating community may lose some of its charm during this time, visitors have a chance to immerse themselves in the daily life of the villagers living in the dried season. While some boats may become stuck, and smaller canoes are unable to traverse the jungle forest, these challenges add to the thrill of the experience. The dry season in floating village of Kompong Phluk may not be the ideal time to visit for those seeking postcard-perfect photos, but it offers a chance to witness a facet of the village’s daily life that is not typically seen. As they say, when life gives you lemons, make lemonade. We recommend visitors to embrace this rare chance to witness a different facet of this incredible destination and truly get a different taste of life in the village.
