Kulen Mountain Adventure is purposed to visit Kulen Mountain Park that is located in the northeast of Angkor Wat complex about 50 Km. We will spend approximately 2 hours driving up to the hill about 487 meters high and the plateau stretches 30 km long. The park opened for all kinds of tourists in 1999 for privately owned, and the fee is 20 USD per foreigner. We have to get on the top before 11 AM, and possibly come down from midday because the controller needs to avoid vehicles meeting on the narrow road.

The Kulen Mountain is a sacred mountain in Cambodia, and it became a popular place for domestic guests during weekend days and especially during the traditional festivals. The Park used to become an ancient capital city during King Kayavaraman II in AD 802 declared himself as a God-king, and he announced in independence from Java and gave birth to present-day Cambodia.
