Highlights

Escape into the lush, sacred peaks of Phnom Kulen—the ancient birthplace of the Khmer Empire, where King Jayavarman II proclaimed independence in 802 CE. Known historically as Mahendraparvata, this holy mountain remains a deeply revered pilgrimage site for both Hindus and Buddhists. On this private guided trek, step off the tourist trail to discover ancient rock-carved sanctuaries, hidden forest monoliths, and sacred riverbed sculptures. Complete your adventure with a refreshing dip in the mountain's famous cascading waterfalls before returning comfortably to Siem Reap. • Key Highlights: Birthplace of the Khmer Empire, riverbed linga carvings, hidden stone elephant monoliths, 16th-century Reclining Buddha, cliffside views, and natural waterfall swimming. • Requirements: Moderate physical fitness required for an ~8 km jungle trek; bring a change of clothes if you wish to swim.

About Siem Reap

Siem Reap ist die Flussstadt neben Angkor, Kambodschas riesigem Komplex von Khmer-Tempeln, mit Nachtmärkten, Flusspromenaden und entspanntem Zentrum.

Angkor Wat, oft das größte religiöse Bauwerk der Welt genannt, erhebt sich über seinem Wassergraben in einer Silhouette aus Lotosknospentürmen, die bei Sonnenaufgang atemberaubend ist. Nebenan birgt die ummauerte Stadt Angkor Thom den Bayon mit seinen mehr als zweihundert gelassenen Steingesichtern, die Elefantenterrasse und den Baphuon, während Ta Prohm von den Wurzeln riesiger Kapokbäume und Würgefeigen umklammert wird.

Top-ranked sights in Siem Reap: Angkor Thom, Tonlé Sap, Kampong Phluk.
