Phnom Kulen national park
Travel to Cambodia and discover Phnom Kulen national park with a local guide from Evolved Guide.
Siem Reap is a city in Cambodia, located near the main tourist attraction – Angkor Wat. It is the largest Hindu monument in the world! But what to do if you’ve seen the whole city? Don’t worry, I advise you to go to Phnom Kulen – a sacred mountain and see the national park.
Phnom Kulen locates 60 km away from Siem Reap and it is the second most popular place after the temples. Moreover, this site has an important historical significance for Cambodians. It was the first capital of the Khmer Empire and right here in 804 Jayavarman II proclaimed the formation of modern Cambodia.
So what to see in Phnom Kulen national park? Among the most notable places we can mention river Kbal Spean or the river of a thousand lingas; the waterfall and the statue of Buddha. The bottom of the river is painted with ancient symbols – linga. Therefore, Kbal Spean crosses the plateau and ends in a waterfall of 45 meters. According to a legend, swimming there allows you to charge your luck! Besides it, through symbolic images on the bottom of the waterfall, it is possible to see the gods Shiva and Vishnu. Also at the highest point of the National Park, you can see an eight-meter statue of Buddha, carved from a huge boulder in the sixteenth century.
