Led by an Apsara Authority certified guide, this small-group experience (maximum 14 people) takes you to three remarkable sites: the River of a Thousand Lingas with its ancient underwater carvings, the impressive Reclining Buddha statue atop the mountain, and the refreshing Kulen Waterfall where you can swim in natural pools.

Choose between beer or soft drinks, and enjoy seasonal fruits after lunch. This leisurely cultural excursion follows gentle jungle trails suitable for all fitness levels.
