Explore the River of 1000 Lingas, where the riverbed boasts thousands of ancient carvings and is divided into three sections dedicated to the Hindu trinity gods. Ascend further to the hill's summit to behold the majestic Buddhist Pagoda and the impressive Reclining Buddha statue. Your journey continues to the enchanting waterfalls of Kulen, where you'll have the opportunity to pause at two idyllic locations for a refreshing swim and perhaps indulge in a leisurely lunch.
At around 3:00 PM the tour comes to an end and the guide will transfer you back to your hotel.
