Highlights
- Phnom Kulen National Park - At 8:00 AM, we depart for Kulen National Park, the lost city of the Khmer Empire, established by Jayavarman II in the 9th century in honor of the god Shiva. This site was where the king first declared independence from Java and performed the King-God ceremony. According to Lidar scanning reports, it was the largest ancient city in the world. The park contains over 30 temples hidden in the jungle and underground. We will spend 30 minutes visiting the thousand Lingas of Shiva on the riverbed, which flows into a waterfall of varying heights where we can swim to cleanse ourselves of deep sins. The sacred pond here changes colors with the seasons. We will also visit a large reclining Buddha carved from natural stone in the 16th century for 30 minutes. Afterward, we will take a 30-minute motorbike ride on off-road trails to Elephant Pond, enjoying views from the top, and stop to explore a bat cave with flashlights. Additionally, we will see more ruined monuments and trek 300 meters through a local village. Next, we will return to the beautiful natural waterfall for an hour of swimming. Finally, we will relax and have lunch for an hour on our way back to the hotel.
