"Lost Temples Stray away from Cambodia’s tried and tested circuit with a temple safari that feels like an Indiana Jones adventure. You’ll trek into the jungles of northeast Cambodia and discover the ancient Khmer Empire beyond Angkor. Phnom Kulen National Park includes a 1600-foot high and 18-mile long plateau considered sacred by locals—it was here, in 802, that Jayavarman II declared independence from Java and created the first Khmer Empire. You’ll camp with a local expert at the summit and wind your way through the jungle to some pre-Angkorian temples—including Prasat Pram and Prasat Domrei Krap—many of which have yet to be properly documented by researchers. In addition to the ancient temples, you’ll see majestic stone sculptures of local animals, visit the giant reclining Buddha, and cool your feet as you explore a series of waterfalls.

Beautiful place. Go down the stairs and turn left away from waterfall, cross the small bridge, climb up the rock with ladder and enjoy the best view of the fall away from the crowd.

An absolutely amazing place to visit. If you're in Siem Reap, then this is a must-see. Go to the waterfall and have a swim, sit and rest by the thousand linga and just take in the beauty of the place.

Such a great hike and you can take some really nice photos. I was just going with a guide because the guides are all really nice and it helps her local industry. Some of the guys also really know how to take great photos of you as you’ll see when you get there. it’s also really nice to go with friends. It’ll be wonderful experience and usually 100% worth the price but once again if you are pressed for time in the siem rea or Cambodia area (I can’t imagine why you would be without relaxed and wonderful everything is) you can skip this, unless you really like nature.

The Kulen waterfalls are located in the Phnom Kulen National Park, a couple of hours out of Siem Reap. Phnom Kulen is a sacred place for Cambodians and the waterfall is its star attraction. There are two levels of the waterfall, both accessible by following a trail, which is reasonably easy to walk and with steps in certain sections, especially to get to the second, taller waterfall. This waterfall was still quite impressive in November, after the rainy season had more or less abated. It was possible to get into the water to be drenched by the spray from the thundering waterfall. The lush greenery around this location with the running water and boulders made it an extra special visit.

Nice Nationalpark with some really nice viewing points and a big watterfall. Their are a lot more stuff to see. Like Tempels with big Budas etc. You can easy be a whole day here. At that time it was not that crowded. 20$ for Tourists is the fee and a lot of shops and restaurants in the park. I recommend to come with car because the roads in the park are mostly sand&dirt roads.

We went today and I guess I am underwhelmed. The area is strewn with trash and plastic debris. The trails are not maintained. The cost to get in seems way too high for the value of the place. My wife loves it here. They should do some trail maintenance, pick up the plastic debris, and look at the price of food and water. I live here so this feels critical to me; but to me its true.

It's very beautiful waterfall with 35 meters, and power of nature will make a forest sound that we prefer to hear it.

Nice national park, it’s a 30min drive on a red sand road to get to the waterfall and arrive at the parking lot of the park though. We weren’t able to find the cliff peak even after 2 hours of wandering around attempting to find hiking trails. The waterfall is nice, we didn’t go in though. The place is littered with people trying to sell souvenir items for tourists and there are a couple temples here.
