The mountain is revered by Khmers and regarded as a sacred place. It is here that King Jayavarman II in 9th century proclaimed himself as a divine universal ruler and chose Kulen Mountain as his administration center to rule the Kingdom of Khmer Empire. You will have opportunity to pray to the huge reclining Buddha satue which as built on the top of a natural huge rock. Walking around to see the One Thousand of God Siva's Linga and pedestal of Goddess Uma (Linga, literally means: Symbol of man, Pedestal means: Symbol of woman). Then you may enjoy your swimming in the water fall.

Noon: Take a break for lunch in the local restaurant on the top of the mountain.
Afternoon: After lunch and rest we drive down to the ground and head to Beng Mealea temple ( a pond of lotus flower).
