- Villager House - The journey begins with an authentic Cambodian experience. Witness locals in their morning routines, vast expanses of lush rice fields, and traditional wooden stilt houses. The first destination is the Palm Sugar Village, where families have been producing traditional Cambodian sugar for generations. Observe the entire process from palm tree to sweet, golden crystals.
- Poeng Ta Kho (Amazing Cliff) - This viewpoint offers breathtaking panoramic views across canyons and forests. It’s a short walk from the parking area, but the views are truly rewarding.
- Preah Ang Thom Pagoda - Imagine an 8-meter reclining Buddha carved into the mountainside, with a history of 1,000 years of pilgrimages. Local families light incense, monks offer quiet prayers, and the ancient stone face seems to change expression with the light. Whether spiritual or not, standing here is a unique experience.
- 1000 Lingas - Thousands of sacred fertility symbols carved into the riverbed by 11th-century priests, transforming the flowing water into holy water for the entire Angkor kingdom.
- Phnom Kulen Waterfall - This is where the day becomes truly delightful. Crystal-clear pools fed by limestone-filtered mountain water, with a picnic spread on smooth rocks and waterfalls providing a natural soundtrack. Enjoy a refreshing swim in the cold, pure water where every pebble is visible.
- Siem Reap - Return to the hotel in Siem Reap.

A must-do tour in Siem Reap - Mr Sam was absolutely fantastic! This tour is definitely worth doing if you want a genuine experience of the Cambodian countryside, religion, and culture. It was a great break from seeing all the ancient temples. This was probably one of the best tours we've been on during our many trips across Asia. A massive thanks again to Mr Sam who was extremely knowledgeable, kind and also has some great English jokes! Mr Sophall was a great driver, he was very friendly and attentive to us. Great from start to finish!

Great day out - This was my last activity in Cambodia and was such a great way to end my time in this lovely country. Mr Jan was very friendly, informative and kept things moving without feeling rushed, and the tour was a nice mix of fun, culture and nature. The driver Mr Moon was also great, the cold towels after the swim were lovely

An authentic and unforgettable experience! - Among the most genuine experiences you can live in Cambodia. Our guide, Raman, was extremely knowledgeable and spoke excellent English. Thanks to him we were able to immerse ourselves in the everyday life of rural life around Siem Reap, discovering traditions and unique atmospheres. An excursion that we highly recommend, especially to those who have a few days to visit the country.

Great day trip to Kulen Mountain National Park - My wife and I had a great trip with our guide Try Dara and driver Theara. We stopped off at a local village and tried a local pastry after seeing how it was made.we also stopped at a sacred river. We went to an amazing viewpoint before finishing the tour with a swim at the waterfalls after some really nice food. We would recommend booking with Try Dara and Theara.
