Beautiful, surprising and hot! - We have just returned from a 3 day holiday in Cambodia and the beautiful Siem Reap. Shopeak was our driver when we arrived and as we chatted he described the various trips he could arrange. We decided upon a visit to the national park, Kulen Mountain and waterfalls. The trip was so much more than we expected with amazing mountain views, hidden temples, villages and the valley of a 1000 Lingas. The swim in the waterfall was very welcome! Sopheak was a fabulous host, prompt to pick up, polite and very knowledgeable and more than happy to share this with you. We would absolutely recommend using him, his contact number is +855 17 650 808. Thank you Sopheak for taking us to see this amazing place.

Definitely worth visiting - This is a must see destination for anyone with an extra day in Siem Reap The view from the cliffs, the swim in the “holy waters” of the kulen waterfall and the reclining Buddha carved out of the rock at the top of the mountain were all very special experiences. Our guide, Sopheak was a delight. He arrived punctually in a Toyota Highlander. Knowledgeable and courteous, he took us to all the good spots! We stopped on way home ( his suggestion ) at the Landmine museum. Definitely worth a visit. We had the great fortune to meet the real-life hero, Aki Ra, who has single-handedly removed tens of thousands of land mines.

Great day trip - This was a wonderful trip to experience at our own pace with a private driver. He was helpful and didn't rush us through seeing the lingga and temple. We could enjoy taking our time even at the waterfall. October or November is a fantastic time to visit with plenty of water but it is cold.
