Overview

We are going to visit two places. The first is Phnom Kulen (Kulen Mountain) which is an isolated chain of moutains in the Dangrek Mountain Range. It stretches for around 40km and is about 50km outside of Siem Reap town. At the highest point, the mountain reaches 487m and it averages above 400m across the range.You will have opportunity to do monk blessings over there. The second, in the afternoon, we'll head over to Banteay Srei temple which is located about 37km away from Siem Reap town. You'll also have the opportunity to stop at a local community along the way and I will help you to experience the daily life of the locals living there. You can also test some palm wine and palm sugar (depending on the season) and try other local products. Finally, we transfer you back to your hotel.

    Thom was our guide during this tour and it was an excellent experience. Having done the Angkor temples the day before we were a bit tired but Thom kept us engaged. He had a lot of knowledge of the area and was very helpful during each part of the visit. Highly recommend him.

    Had an amazing tour with Hun. He ensured I was comfortable at all times and he took the time to immerse me into the culture and they ways of the locals. He assisted taking pictures from the nicest locations at the places we visited. I happened to be the only one in the tour so we spent 3 extra hours together and he took me to a gem where the locals go to see a panoramic view of the Phnom Kulen National Park. Water and cold towel were provided several times during the tour. The driver was also very nice and took the time to stop and places were I wanted to take pictures from the car; he took us to all places in a safe manner. The lunch (not included in the tour cost) was amazing. Keep up the good job Cambodia Golden Tours and Hun!! Highly recommended experience!
