Phnom Kulen Waterfall - The two main waterfalls in Kulen National Park were visited:

• The second waterfall is taller, measuring about 15–20 meters in height and around 15 meters in width. - 1000 Lingas - A walk along the River of 1000 Lingas revealed ancient carvings of lingas, yonis, and a large image of Vishnu across the riverbed and rock surfaces. This sacred site highlighted the spiritual importance of water and fertility in Khmer history.
