Hoogtepunten

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 ligt aan de rivier naast Angkor, het uitgestrekte Khmer-tempelcomplex van Cambodja, met nachtmarkten, riviertochten en een rustig centrum.

Angkor Wat, vaak het grootste religieuze monument ter wereld genoemd, rijst op boven zijn slotgracht in een silhouet van torens als lotusknoppen dat bij zonsopgang adembenemend is. Vlakbij herbergt de ommuurde stad Angkor Thom de Bayon, met zijn meer dan tweehonderd serene stenen gezichten, het Terras van de Olifanten en de Baphuon, terwijl Ta Prohm in de greep zit van de wortels van gigantische kapokbomen en wurgvijgen.

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