Private Tour Exploring Koulen Mountain & 1000 linga and Beong MeleaTemple | Siem Reap | Cambodia

Morning Start from 8:00  excursion to visit sacred Kulen Mountain, and admire the waterfalls, where you might want to go for a swim and seek relief from the lowland heat. This is where the 500 year long ‘Age of Angkor’ began. Phnom Kulen is the mountain on which Jayavarman II initiated the royal ‘god of the king’ linga cult in 802AD, declaring a unified and independent Khmer Empire under a single ruler. There are several minor ruins at Phnom Kulen including hundreds of linga stands in the Siem Reap River and active pagoda. Afternoon : Visit Beong Mealea Temple is Sprawling jungle temple covering over one square kilometer. The temple is largely overrun by vegetation and very lightly touristy, giving it an adventurous, ‘lost temple’ feel. Photographers: trees growing from the broken towers and galleries offer some of the best ‘tree in temple’ shots aside from Ta Prohm.
