Phnom Kulen and Tonle Sap Countryside

Siem Reap beyond the temples: Kulen Mountain waterfalls, stilt houses on Tonle Sap, countryside cycling and sunset at Phnom Krom.

For visitors who have already seen Angkor's main temples, or who want a change of pace for their children. On day one, climb Phnom Kulen to see the riverbed carvings, the reclining Buddha and the waterfall. On day two, take a boat through the mangroves at Kampong Khleang, stop at Roluos on the way back, and climb Phnom Krom at dusk for sunset over the lake. On day three, cycle through the countryside around West Baray, visit artisan workshops, and watch a circus show at night. Relaxed pace, mostly outdoors.

Kulen Waterfall has high water flow late in the rainy season and may dry up at the end of the dry season. Tonle Sap water levels are high from September to December.
