Phnom Kulen Waterfall

The waterfall features two levels and is a popular spot atop the mountain. The first level is located after the River of 1000 Lingas and is around 4-5 meters tall. The second and most spectacular level is around 20 meters tall. You reach the second level by following the road along the northern side of the river to a large parking area after which there is a walking trail past an enclave of souvenir stalls. After around 200 m there is a cluster of open huts for dining alongside the river behind which is a bridge that crosses over to the Kroal Romeas Temple. From the temple, you can view a small stage of the waterfall with a beautiful swing chair just before it reaches the twenty-meter drop. If you wish, you can also walk about 600 m from where the dining huts near the bridge to reach Preah Ang Thom Pagoda.

Back across the river via the bridge and follow the trail past some more stalls and down along the river for another 100 m or so until you reach the staircase that takes you down to the base of the waterfall.
