What to expect
Dating all the way back to the late 9th or early 10th century, Cambodia's Phnom Krom Temple is known as one of the best places to visit for travelers looking for a couple of hours of peace and tranquility. Enjoy a fun-filled day of exploring one of the hidden temples of Siem Reap with this one day tour by tuk-tuk, which can seat up to four people! In the morning, you'll get picked up at your hotel, then immediately make your way toward the temple, taking in the sight of the local residents milling about and performing their day-to-day routines on the way. Once you arrive at the foot of the hill, you'll hike up for a few minutes, so make sure you're wearing comfortable clothes and a sturdy pair of shoes! At the top, you'll get uninterrupted views of the nearby Tonle Sap Lake, with its floating villages, and the lush greenery of Siem Reap's countryside. Check out the leftover ruins of the Phnom Krom Temple, with three sandstone towers dedicated to the HIndu gods Vishnu, Shiva, and Brahma. Due to its orientation to the East, the temple is best visited in the morning, which allows you to imagine how the people back then would watch the sunrise from the top of the hill. After some time, you'll make your way down the hill and enjoy a tasty lunch, at your own expense, before you get dropped off back at your accommodation.
Reviews
The driver was extremely polite and kind. The tuk-tuk was also impressive with its beautiful color scheme. There was no pushy salesmanship, so I was very impressed. If I had the time, I would have asked him to take me to other places as well. He was such a nice guy.
The whole itinerary includes the journey from the hotel to the foot of the mountain in only 2-3 hours, less than half a day. Can visit according to their own pace and time. When we visited, there were no other tourists on the phomn krom on the mountain, so we could enjoy the monuments and take pictures.
The environment is very peaceful with few tourists. Buildings on small hills, but it is best to do a little data collection before going, otherwise the only time you want to go to the movie photo punch is only two minutes.
Thank you for booking a Klook trip. We appreciate your feedback and valuable suggestions. Hope that on the next trip, we can bring you a pleasant experience and sincerely appreciate your understanding. If you have any concerns, please let us know.
Driver arrived 5 minutes before the pick up time which was really nice. We went to Phnom Krom but we forgot to buy our tickets first. We bought a 3-day pass since it can be used to all temples in Siem Reap. The driver was nice since he drove us to the ticket booth and we went back to Phnom Krom. The temple was far from the ticket booth (since it’s the only place where you can buy the ticket and it’s near the airport already). Driver also got us water which was really helpful because it was so hot that day. I recommend you bring an umbrella and wear comfortable shoes since you’ll be hiking your way up to the temple. It was tiring going up to the temple but it’s really worth it. We were also lucky since we were the only one in the temple when we went there. I really recommend this place. Klook was also helpful since the tuktuk driver are nice and he was always in time.
Because it is the first day of the trip in Siem Reap, the driver will first take us to the ticket office of Angkor Wat to buy tickets. Half-day tour time is very abundant, the scenery of the lotus pond along the way is very beautiful, sitting in the Tuk Tuk car blowing the air is also very cool. The scenic spots need to walk along the stairs/hillside for half an hour, and they must be psychologically prepared, but they can live in the high-rise caves of Lisa Lake. The scope of Kerong Temple is small, but the advantage is that there are almost no tourists.
Tuk tuk driver pick up is on time and friendly! However, there’s a long flight of stairs and slope as the drop of is at the bottom of the hill. Not really recommend as there isn’t much to view.
Driver arrived on time. He is well versed about the route but understands only Khmer. just left us at steps of monument and left without giving any information about the place of visit.
I went alone, but the person who checked the ticket took a nap while taking off the uniform and woke up to check the surroundings. As I walked around, there were no people around, and there were a lot of young men who came up on motorcycles. I think you should change the tour type. It's hard to say that this is a tour, and in the end I had a lot of time left, so I went to the museum for $ 4 with the tuk-tuk knight.
I have checked the valuable reviews you wrote. First of all, it's a pity that the Phnom Krom Temple Private Tuk Tuk Tour, which should be enjoyable, has failed to meet your expectations due to local weather. Based on the valuable feedback you said, we will try to give you a satisfying service through a more generous composition, and hope to have a pleasant memory in the pleasant weather on your next trip. Thank you. KLOOK Customer Support Team
