Program details
Explore the natural wonders and ancient treasures of the Phnom Kulen National Park on this full-day tour from Siem Reap.
Discover ancient Khmer ruins, receive a blessing at the sacred River of a Thousand Lingas, and visit the famous Reclining Buddha. Enjoy your own lunch. Then, drive to the intricately carved and well-preserved Banteay Srei; the detailed carvings on this small sandstone structure are regarded as the finest and most skillfully crafted in Cambodia. Lastly, we will visit Beng Mealea Temple, a fabulous place for those who want to experience a vast and spectacular jungle temple in its raw and unrestored state.
Surrounded by a moat of more than 0.5 square miles (1.5 square kilometers), the Hindu temple, with Buddhist motifs, is the most mysterious of all the temples of the Angkor style. Cloaked in thick vegetation with huge trees sprouting from its ruins, Beng Mealea remains much as it did when it was discovered in 1990. Finally, when the day is over, you will be returned to your hotel.
This tour is perfect if you like: History, archaeology, ancient civilizations, adventure, and nature.
