Individual tour with a professional guide.
Description:
Phnom Kulen ("Lichie Mountain") was the birthplace of the ancient powerful Khmer Empire when founding King Jayavarman II declared independence from Java. In the center of this mountain, he performed the rite of Devaraji and declared himself the god-king.
Phnom Kulen is a huge plateau of 25 * 10 km. Strewn with giant boulders of volcanic origin. Relic forests are home to many rare animals and birds. The entire plateau is a national park. On Kulen begins the main waterway of the Angkor area. In the Khmer Empire, it was the main waterway of the country and gave life to the metropolitan population. It is no wonder that Phnom Kulen is a place of great religious and cultural pilgrimage for Cambodians.
Points of visit:
Authentic Buddhist pagoda of the 16th century with the largest 8-meter sleeping Buddha in Cambodia. The statue is carved directly from the top of the mountain and is part of the mountain.
The Thousand Lingam River. The bottom of the river is strewn with stone religious symbols of male and female origin. In the dry season, you can see the image of Vishnu as a symbol of the birth of the world out of chaos.

To the waterfall, you can go down on foot through a small village.
