Escape the typical temple routes and venture into Cambodia’s sacred highlands and water communities. This private 1-day expedition combines the mist-shrouded holy peak of Phnom Kulen—the birthplace of the Khmer Empire—with Kompong Khleang, one of the most authentic and less-visited stilted villages on Tonle Sap Lake.
Why book this experience:
• Phnom Kulen Holy Mountain: Discover the giant Reclining Buddha at Preah Ang Thom, witness sacred Hindu carvings etched into the riverbed at the River of a Thousand Lingas, and cool off with a swim at the Kulen Waterfall.
• Kompong Khleang Stilted Village: Experience life on Southeast Asia’s largest lake. Marvel at houses perched up to 10 meters on wooden stilts during the dry season, or sail through flooded streets during the monsoon.
• 100% Private & Flexible Travel: Benefit from personalized attention from your local guide, custom departure times, and door-to-door transport in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle with chilled water.

1Phnom Kulen National Park
Phnom Kulen often lies shrouded in mist but on a clear day one can see the loaf like shape on the horizon across the flat plains of Siem Reap province. You will rise early and travel through picturesque countryside to reach your destination in the mid morning. The sites atop Phnom Kulen include a Buddhist Pagoda with giant Reclining Buddha, Hindu carvings in the stone river bed and an impressive waterfall under which swimming is possible.

2Kompong Khleang
Kompong Khleang is located on the northern edge of the Tonle Sap lake approximately 55km east of Siem Reap town. Accessible in both dry and wet season, visitors to Kompong Khleang during the dry season are universally awestruck by the forest of stilted houses rising up to 10 meters in the air. When the monsoon comes the waters rise up to one or two meters of the buildings. This is a permanent community with subsistence fishing as the main source of livelihood. This is also one of the largest communities on the Tonle Sap lake.
