A short 4k travel video featuring Phnom Kulen National Park in Siem Reap Province, Cambodia.

The following is a brief description of this sightseeing attraction:

ABOUT: Phnom Kulen National Park is located approximately forty-five kilometres north of the Siem Reap. The national park is predominantly a sandstone, jungle covered peak, which runs northeast to southwest. It’s the only elevated geographical feature in the area and can be seen from a considerable distance, owing to the surrounding flat landscape of endless rice paddies. The primary sightseeing attractions, within the national park, are waterfalls, viewpoints, and several ancient Khmer sites.

GETTING THERE: If you have your transportation (rented motorbike) then getting to the park entry point is straight forward. The roads are sealed all the way and don’t pose any difficulties. However, once you enter (go beyond the boom gate) the road becomes more degraded and most of it, at the top of the plateau, is red dirt. In the dry season, this isn’t an issue. The rainy season is a different story though. From June to October, much of this road becomes a muddy, red bog. If you’re inexperienced in riding over mud tracks on a motorbike, it might be better to go on an organised tour in a 4 x 4 vehicle.

ENTRY FEE: The entry fee to the national park for foreigners is 20 USD, which makes the fees for National Parks in neighbouring countries (Thailand) seem cheap in comparison.

ON-SITE: From the boom gate a sealed road winds up to the top of the mountain, from which point it changes to red dirt. Note: The road along the top of the plateau, to all the sightseeing attractions, is red dirt most of the way. A map at the park ticket office shows a spiderweb of roads, along the top of the plateau, leading to a considerable number of sightseeing attractions. During the rainy season, without an off-road bike, or 4 x 4 vehicle, there’s no hope of getting to the more distant ones – over twenty kilometres of dirt road – on a Honda scooter. These more remote locations are best travelled to in the dry season.

THE AMAZING VIEWPOINT: The first easy stop on the sightseeing circuit was a location called “the amazing viewpoint.” This is essentially a sandstone cliff line, providing views across the surrounding jungle covered terrain, just one hundred meters from the road. At the end of the rainy season, when everything is green and vibrant, it’s a picturesque landscape and well worth a thirty-minute stop.

PHNOM KULEN WATERFALL: From the amazing viewpoint, the next major sightseeing stop is the Phnom Kulen Waterfall, some eight km further on from the viewpoint. Note: Getting there, during the rainy season, is a real challenge. However, it’s well worth the effort as the waterfall looks spectacular in peak flow.
