Your guide will introduce you to a variety stop through different spots outside of Siem Reap with a Jeep to Kulen Mountain, one of Cambodia’s most sacred mountains, with deeply revered ancient sites and ruins on its high plateau. The roads are peaceful, narrow, and very pretty all the way to Kulen Mountain.

- Phnom Kulen National Park - Afterward, we continue to the National Park, where you’ll be able to pause to catch a breathtaking view. You will explore the vast plateau of Phnom Kulen, led by our English-speaking guide.
- Kbal Spean - Then, we step into the jungle trails through the vine-covered trees until we reach the River of 1000 Lingas, an array of unique riverbed carvings, and nearby Preah Ang Thom, a huge stone Buddha carved into the top of a rock set in a bustling but atmospheric temple complex.
- Phnom Kulen Waterfall - We’ll have lunch at a local restaurant and cool down from the day’s adventure with a swim at Kulen Waterfall before returning to Siem Reap. Relax and reflect on the natural wonders of Phnom Kulen and its rich history.

Don’t miss this outstanding day tour with Siam Reap Jeep Adventure - My husband and I enjoyed a great jeep tour day with Sorphea and Vuthy from Siam Reap Jeep Adventure. We were picked up promptly at our hotel on a vintage US Army Jeep. Instead of rushing us straight up to Kullen Mountain, we were able to take our time and enjoy a tour of the local fresh food open market, where Mr Sorphea got us some treats, and look around the local Buddhist monetary. We also had a visit to a local palm whiskey still and a hands on demonstration of artisanal scale rice noodle making.
Next we headed up the scenic road of Kullen Mountain, stopping to sample golden bananas (delicious), before walking to the 1000 Lingas, a sacred spring, the amazing reclining Buddha and swimming in the refreshing waters under the Kullen Waterfall which is awe inspiring. On the way back to the hotel we enjoyed a tasty lunch at a garden set restaurant. A full day of beauty and fun, expertly managed by our guides. We highly recommend them and this experience.

Super fun adventure in Siem Reap. - We had an amazing adventure on the jeep tour. The reclining Buddha is one of the coolest things I have ever seen. Thanks to Sorphea the tour guide and Sovann the driver for making our trip special. Must do in Cambodia.

Great way to get a glimpse of rural life - I did this countryside jeep tour today with my boyfriend and we both loved it. Our guide mr Sorphea and driver Sovann were both excellent. They were friendly, interesting and informative and allowed us to get a glimpse of what life in the Cambodian countryside as well as take in fantastic views around Kulen mountain and the waterfall. Sorphea also took very good photos of us in the all the locations, he really went above and beyond and got us some cool and creative pictures, easily some of the best of our trip. The 1960s army jeep was a unique way to explore the countryside and I enjoyed the open air, though as the mountain does not always have paved roads you can get quite dusty! All in all we'd definitely recommend taking this tour if you're staying around Siem reap.

Excellent tour by Jeep with Sorphea - My partner and I had an amazing time with tour with Sorphea. We absolutely would recommend this tour for those interested in an outdoor experience with an open air vintage Jeep. Our guide picked us up at around 8 am, we were quickly cruising out of the city. We took several stops to view various markets, see rice noodles being made, and taste freshly made palm sugar, before heading to the mountain. We saw several cultural sites on the mountain, including the reclining Buddha. As a suggestion to travels, don’t forget to wear appropriate clothing and socks are a plus for when you are walking without shoes (helps keeps for soles from burning on hot cement!) The waterfall was a delightful treat, but just as a heads up there are a few flights of stairs down to reach it. There are changing rooms and lock boxes for a nominal price ($1-2). We concluded the tour with lunch. As always drinks were an extra purchase. The food was delicious and worth the trek. Conclusion: highly recommended tour for outdoor adventurers who likes vintage jeeps.

A must do! - I highly recommend this tour! It was such a fun experience to ride in the jeep with our tour guide and driver who are sooo warm and friendly and so excited to share all they can about their country. Mr August (Siha) is extremely knowledgeable about the rich culture and history of Cambodia — we learned a lot! They took us to a handful of local homes to see what the locals produce and sell to their local markets. We then went to drive up Kulen Mountain to see the views and a short hike to see a waterfall. Lastly we visited a temple which was very cool to see how the people of Cambodia come to worship. We enjoyed our guide’s company so much that we even had a meal with them!
If you visit the country, please be sure to take this tour. You won’t regret it!

Great Jeep adventure! - I highly recommend this Jeep tour! It was a great way to experience the countryside of (Siem Reap) Cambodia. It was an awesome peak into the culture and lives of everyday Cambodians, plus a stunning view from Kulen Mountain! Next time I’d be sure to bring a sarong to be prepared for a temple visit besides wearing our “adventure” clothes which were not temple-appropriate. Son was a great guide with a wealth of information and interesting stories. Plan an extra day in Siem Reap, besides visiting the temples, and book this tour! You’ll be glad you did and will have a richer view of Cambodia (and a really fun time too!)

What a nice day! - Today, we took the Jeep Tour to Kulen Mountain. Sovan, our Jeep driver, and Sorphea, our guide, went above and beyond their duties to show us the life in some of the villages, the Cambodian vegetation (we got to taste a few) as well as explained the ceremonies and religious objects we have seen. Sorphea took pictures and videos for us to have as souvenir. Our driver prepared a nice picnic for us by the big waterfalls. They even took us around a few streets as it was the Khmer new year to witness and take part in the giant water fight. It was soooooooo much fun. What a great day!
Thank you Sorphea for answering all of our questions. You really took the time to explain everything to us.

Perfect and unforgettable experience - That was a great trip to Phnom Kulen national park, well organised mr. Seiha Jeep tour company with the best driver - Mr.Sovann. He knows all hidden spots and beautiful viewpoints. He stops at nice places to provide time for breakfast and lunch. He cares about people to provide additional services, like cold drinks and local food. Strongly recommend to get jeep riding experience with Mr. Sovann and Jeep tours company of Mr. Seiha.
