The highlight of this eight-hour bus tour from Siem Reap is the chance to swim in the clear pools beneath Phnom Kulen Waterfall, surrounded by limestone-filtered mountain water. The tour begins with a hotel pickup in Siem Reap between 8:00 and 8:30 AM. After departure, the route passes through rural Cambodia where guests can observe locals working in rice paddies and traditional stilt houses. The first stop is Palm Sugar Village to watch families produce palm sugar using methods unchanged for generations. Next, the tour visits Poeng Ta Kho, a cliff viewpoint offering extensive views of canyons and forests, reached by a short walk from the parking area. Afterward, guests hike to Preah Ang Thom pagoda to see Cambodia's largest reclining Buddha, an 8-meter stone carving over 1,000 years old, with locals and monks performing traditional rituals. The next stop is the River of 1000 Lingas, an 11th-century riverbed carved with thousands of sacred fertility symbols by priests. The final main destination is Phnom Kulen Waterfall, where guests can enjoy a picnic lunch on smooth rocks beside the waterfalls. The lunch includes local dishes such as grilled chicken with special sauces, local beer, seasonal fruits, soft drinks, and mineral water. Towels are provided for swimming in the cold, clear pools. After about three hours at the waterfall, the tour returns to Siem Reap, arriving back at the hotel approximately 90 minutes later. The tour includes transportation with an experienced driver in a minivan or bus and a professional English-speaking guide. Admission to Kulen Mountain is also covered. Travel insurance and personal expenses are not included.
