Leisurely enjoy the relaxation near the fascinating waterfall of Phnom Kulen national park, cool off and swim under the falls. The holy Phnom Kulen or “Mountain of Lychees” was found as the birthplace of the ancient Khmer Empire when King Jayavarman II declared the independence from Java in 804 CE. Continuously stroll within the region to see the giant reclining Buddha, riverbed of 1000 lingas and the sacred crystal pool.
