Kulen Mountain tour 8:30 am to 13:00 - Siem Reap - Amei Travel & Tours

Morning

Kulen Mountain is located about 1.5-2 hours away from Siem Reap. The mountain was given its name due to the abundance of lychee trees it once hosted, and nowadays offers visitors a beautiful view and fun activities such as picnicking and waterfall swimming. For those who plan to drive up to the top of Kulen Mountain, you need to get there early, as the road is one-way traffic only. Located about 50 kilometers from Siem Reap, Phnom Kulen is one of Cambodia’s most revered sites. According to legend, it was here that King Jayavarman II declared independence from Java in 802 CE and thus began the Khmer Empire – as an independent nation. Additionally, it’s a very sacred site with multiple temples easily accessible. The two sites most noted are a thousand lingams at Kbal Spean, within the Kulen National Park site, and Preah Ang Thom Pagoda with its giant reclining Buddha. The area is a magnet to “kru khmer” (natural medicine doctors). It attracts people seeking blessings from its holy waters, particularly the potent life-giving waters at Kbal Spean, which are said to help couples conceive.
