A playground for residents, Phnom Kulen is a beautiful day out. The key attraction is the waterfalls at the topmost of Kulen Mountain and it’s also a great picnic spot; well set up in Cambodian style with hammocks and housings to keep you shaded from the sun.

The foundation of the antique Khmer realm, it is said that it was at Phnom Kulen that King Jayavarman II announced Cambodia’s independence from Java.

How to reach there

Phnom Kulen is 48km from Siem Reap and is able to spend 1.5 to2 hours to arrive by car or van, longer by tuk tuk but then that will just be whether you wish to walk up and back down again as tuk truck's aren’t capable of making the steep journey to the peak.

The ticket office is at the bottom of Phnom Kulen and is the entry to the Phnom Kulen National Park. It is here that you have to pay for your ticket, whether you didn’t purchase it in town, and show your tickets to go through.

Things to See and Do

Thousand Lingas / Kbal Spean

Kbal Spean is along the way to the peak of the mountain and is a peaceful and calm place. The 1000 carved lingas in the “Valley of the Lingas” or “River of the Lingas”, as it’s generally referred to, are the tribute to the Hindu god Shiva. It is a revered mystical site for Cambodian people and it is said that the water from Kbal Spean will help couples to conceive.

Waterfall & Picnic Area

The highest section of the waterfall is very flat and good for families or young kids who wish to dip into the excitingly cool water. It’s also close to the picnic area, which makes it a completely great site to spend the afternoon ducking in and out of the water. Further down is also a small waterfall; great for nervous swimmers and kids.

Follow the steps to get to the lower part of the waterfall that is the key attraction. Otherwise, it doesn’t stop people from going and experiencing the full force up close! The water isn’t very deep and in most sections of the basin of water under the waterfall, you can nearly touch the ground. On the other hand, best whether you can swim and feel confident in the water.

Preah Ang Thom

It is the chief temple place at Kulen Mountain, this is vital to take off your shoes before coming in the temple. There are ladies at the point where you need to abandon your footwear, don’t worry, they’ll take good care of your shoes for a reasonable fee. Once inside you are able to make your way up to the massive reclining Buddha image, reported as the largest in Cambodia, however, there are some sitting Buddha’s that dwarf this one. Giving boxes line the length of the Buddha statue and a lot of flowers and other tributes are placed all around.

Srah Damrei

Only accessible by foot, Srah Damrei, or Elephant Pond, is the place filled with stone-carved animals. This old Khmer carving is also accompanied by a couple of lions and remnants of some other animals. It is a very rewarding sight and worth trekking off the beaten path. There are guides that will be milling around the Preah Ang Thom site, seek one out and they will show you the way.

A visit to Cambodia isn't complete without a stop in this touristy yet small city of Angkor. This thriving community serves as the starting point for excursions to Angkor Wat and nearby floating villages. It's also a hub for culture, shopping and cuisine. Three days in this amazing town gives travelers enough time to explore and recoup before venturing further into the Cambodian countryside.

Day 1: The Temples

If you're going to Siem Reap then you must visit Angkor Wat. This incredible UNESCO World Heritage site is the largest religious monument in the world. Lush overgrowth covers a few of the sacred space that is easily accessible from Siem Reap, and people often spend an afternoon exploring the temples. It helps to hire a tuk tuk to drive between other popular temples, such as Bayon and Ta Prohm Temple, before heading back to the city center.

Day 2: City Centre

Perhaps Siem Reap is the most favorite destination due to its close proximity to Angkor Wat, but the bustling hub for travellers also has plenty to do and watch beside the temples. Spend a day exploring the entire town has to offer, from lively shopping to fabulous cuisine.

3 Days Itinerary in Siem Reap

3 Days Itinerary in Siem Reap - Vacation Rental Siem Reap.mp3

If you are able-bodied, a trip to Beng Mealea will afford you the occasion to investigate deeper and really ascent around a very, very old temple mainly devoid of obtrusive signs of restoration. Merely put, visiting Beng Mealea is more of an activity than just a pretty sight to see.

Where’s that?

Beng Mealea temple stands alone about 40 kilometers east of the chief group of Angkor temples. Almost twice as far from town center and most Siem Reap hotels, this hidden gem lies along the antique royal highway to Preah Khan Kompong Svay. The road was principally blocked until recent renovations. Now the hour-long trek is chiefly paved road and well worth the journey. Beng Mealea was only added to the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List in 1992, and its relative anonymity coupled with the distance from town and the bad roads kept the crowds at bay.

How’s Beng Mealea different?

Unlike numerous other Angkor temples, Beng Mealea has not been encouraged or reformed. This means getting in and around the temple is a hands-on activity. Masses of stone rubble litter the courtyard and lie messily throughout the site. Vegetation runs amok. Beautiful mosses cover large swaths of stone and small saplings popping up from tiny cracks have turned into full-grown trees wending their way around and through the antique ruins.

How do I get in?

The temple’s crumbling structure makes traversing the place a bit tricky if you don’t know how to get around. Lucky for you the temple’s increasing admiration has created jobs for a handful of locals in the form of temple guides. They hang around the entrance to the temples and, although they don’t speak much English, they can show you precisely where to step and precisely where not to step. They know how to get into the darkest corners of the temple and they know where to stand to get the best views of the interior.

How much time do I need?

Be prepared to spend an hour in transit on the way there and back. You could effortlessly spend a few hours exploring the temple and surrounding grounds, so visiting Beng Mealea makes for an outstanding day trip. You can be back in Siem Reap for a late lunch and a rapid cat nap before heading back out to see an evening show like Phare, the Cambodian Circus or a Beatocello concert. Held every Saturday night at 7 pm. Dr. Beat achieves on his beloved cello in addition to showing a film about his work in Cambodia and speaking on the medical matters affecting children in Cambodia. The show is allowed but of course, very entertaining and educational.

History of Beng Mealea

Little is known about the history of the temple and the magnetism of a visit actually lies in the atmosphere of mystery and exploration, rather than the historical and architectural details of some of the other Angkorian locations. As a Hindu temple, it is thought to have been built around the same time as Angkor Wat. Due to its resemblance in structure to Angkor Wat, Beng Mealea is thought to have been a sample for the excessive temple. It is a great site, facing the east, and encircled by a wide moat. It is built of sandstone, although the carving is simple and limited to sure areas. These may be beams, platforms or cornices decorated with a single decoration – much more understated than the imposing faces of Bayon, or the intricate craftsmanship on display at Banteay Srei. In addition, many of these ornate features are found strewn across the temple floor where walls and columns have distorted. This in some way can add to their attraction as visitors may factually blunder upon them while exploring the temple.

The temple was likely the center of a town, and it lies on the antique royal highway which leads to Preah Khan, in Preah Vihear province. The location was cleared of landmines in the last decade so has only lately become a viable tourist magnetism.

Deep Fried Bread and Shrimp Cakes

At the resident markets in Siem Reap, we were hit by the profusion of fried bread and shrimp cakes. You see sellers at numerous stands bending over the hot flames to yield golden, crunchy French bread topped with lovely fried shrimp.

Grilled Worms and Crickets

Worms and crickets are possibly two of the most common germs you will discover in Cambodia, in addition to red ants tree. Yes, you will also discover comestible spiders and scorpions though we found these multi-legged arachnids to be more common amongst tourist than with locals.

And to be truthful, worms and crickets are far more tempting, in our outlook, to taste than spiders and scorpions.

Squid Skewers

Street food BBQ is fairly common and general. At dusk, sellers pop up around markets and on full streets, grilling numerous dishes for dinner time.

For seafood BBQ, go for the grilled squid. Helped with chili sauce, they are as pleasant as they are inspiring in size!

Balut

Known as the most stinky and disgusting street food in Cambodia, Balut refers to the inseminated kernel of a duck. This snack can be found in bordering Southeast Asian nations like the Philippines and Vietnam, but the one in Cambodia is kept simple: instead of being covered with a wide collection of basils and condiments, only a little garnish is served together with the duck egg. It is an all-time preferred of resident Cambodians as it is healthy and rich in protein.

Grilled pork on skewers

Drawn by the mouth-watering smells of this snack, travelers can effortlessly spot portable carts with grilled pork on skewers everywhere in Phnom Penh. Typically there are two types of skewers, one served with pickle salad with loads of veggies together with rice, and another loaded with basils and condiments. The former is a protuberant breakfast that gives locals a boost of energy for the day, while the latter is a common on-the-go snack. Try both for a whole experience of a Cambodian BBQ.

Grilled frog

The awareness of consuming frogs can be a little uneasy for travelers to grip at first, but everyone will familiarize to it after staying in Phnom Penh for a few days! Also beef, and beef, occasionally people are able to understand the full frog on the skewers of barbecue carts in the capital, which is really a renowned street food in Cambodia. The flavor of frogs is said to be scandalous and tender, similar to that of chicken – of course!

Sweet Pork Sausages

Pork is fairly common in making sweet Khmer sausages known as Sach Krok on street carts around homegrown markets, you will find sellers with dissimilar types of pork sausages hanging off their carts.

The sausages are sold either as skewers or as small sausage balls. After seeing how common the sausages were with locals, we bought one sausage to try. The red color and the taste surprised us. The sausages are actually sweet and fairly fatty. We learned that the sausages are made with palm sugar and composed of half pork and half fat.

We weren’t fan of the sweet flavor of these sausages, nevertheless, locals seemed to like them with a cold glass of beer.
