Enjoy taking photos of the breathtaking view at giant Rocky valley and take a short stroll through the verdant jungle trails to see the highlights of the day.
1000 Lingas
Make your way up a bit further to the mystical allure of the River of a Thousand Lingas, a hidden gem nestled in the heart of Cambodia. As you step foot on the riverbanks, prepare to be swept away by a mesmerizing sight: an enchanting river adorned with ornate carvings, creating a captivating tapestry beneath the crystal-clear waters (depending on the season or weather). It's as if the river itself is whispering ancient tales of spirituality and magic. The River of a Thousand Lingas is not just a feast for the eyes; it's a spiritual journey that seamlessly blends natural beauty with artistic mastery.

As sunlight dances upon the water's surface, the carvings come alive, casting ethereal reflections and making this sacred sanctuary a photographer's paradise.

5.00We had the pleasure to get Tola as our tour guide. He was great. We are a family of 3. The group of us that went to the water fall was a total of 6. Not too many people or overcrowded. It was great. Tola explained alot and allowed us to enjoy our time. Made it fun and made us laugh. We really did enjoy it and my 10yr old son did too. He was grateful that Tola brought his phone back. Lol. Tola too many pictures of us and sent them to us. Would love to do more excursions with this company and Tola. We even booked our Aquarium and wild life with transportation back to Phnom Penh with them. They are amazing and response is impeccable.
Perfect trip to Kulen with Tola the greatest guide

5.00The most amazing guide Tola and day/experience at beautiful Kulen - most magical day I fully reccommend. Perfect guide and day trip. Saw viewing points, 1000 lingas, reclining buddah and delicious lunch. The best part was the waterfall though - spent 2 hours swimming and enjoying - thank you Tola for taking so many great photos and for all the knowledge you shared.

A Wonderful Day Trip to Kulen Waterfall with Kong — Personalised and Memorable
Nagesh6126,Jun 11, 2026
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00Our trip to Kulen Waterfall was an excellent experience from start to finish, made all the more special by our guide Kong. The tour company was thoroughly professional in their arrangements, and Kong's depth of knowledge stood out right away. Since it was just the two of us on the tour, he was able to tailor the experience to our interests, giving us extra time wherever he sensed we wanted to linger and explore further. That personal touch made a real difference. Unfortunately, heavy rainfall the previous day meant the famous 1000 Lingas were not visible during our visit. Kong, however, went out of his way to show us photos and videos he had taken on a visit just a couple of days earlier — a thoughtful gesture that helped us appreciate the site even though we couldn't see it ourselves. Lunch was very good, and Kong also made a stop at a local village along the way, giving us the chance to explore the food and handicrafts on offer — a nice, authentic touch to the day. As for the waterfall itself, it was beautiful, and we wanted to find a quieter spot away from the crowds. Kong happily helped us move to a less crowded area, where we could properly soak in the views and the sound of the falls in peace. The driver, too, was an absolute darling throughout the trip. Overall, a wonderful day out — well organised, personalised, and made memorable thanks to Kong. Highly recommended!
