Kbal Spean One-day Tour

Escape the busy streets of Siem Reap for a couple of hours and see the quieter side of Cambodia with this one day tour beyond the city. In the morning, you'll get picked up at your hotel, then proceed to the ticket office to purhase individual Angkor Passes for the group. Once that's all settled, hop inside a four-wheeled tuk-tuk, the most commonly-used vehicle in the country. Enjoy the drive to Kbal Spean, which lasts about a couple of hours, all while you observe the local residents milling about and doing their day-to-day tasks. From the drop off point, you'll begin to hike up through the forest, with breaks every now and then to take a sip of the bottled water provided. Try to look for the unique flora and fauna in the area, some of which are difficult to find outside this forest, as well as some marvelous boulder formations. Once you reach the river, you'll be greeted by an impressive carving of Vishnu on the upper end, which has since been roped off to prevent damage to it. Bend down and marvel at the intricate carvings on the shoreline and on the riverbed itself, depicting a variety of images such as animals, as well as the Hindu gods Vishnu and Shiva. Cool off from the hike as you make yourself to the base of the waterfall, with a shallow pool of water below, before you start to make your way back down the hill. You'll then enjoy a delicious lunch, at your own expense, then be taken back to your accommodation in the city.
