- Preah Ang Thom Pagoda - Phnom Kulen holds great symbolic significance for Cambodia as the birthplace of the ancient Khmer Empire. It was here that King Jayavarman II declared independence from Java in 802 AD. A half-hour drive leads to the summit of Koulen Mountain, where visitors can explore the 16th-century Buddhist Temple (Preah Ang Thom), the site of King Jayavarman II’s historic proclamation.
- Phnom Kulen Waterfall - Located in Phnom Kulen National Park, Cambodia, the Kulen Waterfall is surrounded by lush greenery and cascades into a clear pool. This sacred site is often visited for its spiritual importance. The tranquil atmosphere and stunning scenery make Kulen Falls a perfect destination for nature enthusiasts.
- Beng Mealea - Discover the fascinating temple outside the Angkor area, King Suryavarman II’s 11th-century Beng Mealea temple, a precursor to the renowned Angkor Wat. Beng Mealea Temple, almost forgotten in the jungle, offers an adventurous journey to reach it. Isolated during Cambodia’s civil war, it is the largest temple outside the main Angkor complex. Some parts remain remarkably intact, while others are completely ruined, with tree roots enveloping many walls and doorways. The eerie atmosphere provides a refreshing contrast to the more frequented temples near Angkor Wat. Beng Mealea shares many features with Angkor Wat, albeit on a smaller scale, including three encircling galleries, four gates and entrances, and a pair of interior libraries. Unlike Angkor Wat, it has only one central tower instead of the famous five towers.
- Ancient Quarry - This is the site where the Khmer people quarried stone to construct Angkor Wat. Visitors can see hundreds of stone pieces cut and left since the 12th century. A tour guide will explain the stone-cutting techniques and how the ancient people transported them to build Angkor Wat.
