What To Expect

Phnom Kulen National Park

After our driver and guide meet you at Hotel, we will proceed to Kulen mountain first to avoid the tourist's crowds, the journey takes around one and half hour across many local villages with a fantastic view and many interesting local activities.

Phnom Kulen has major symbolic importance for Cambodia as the birthplace of the ancient Khmer Empire, for it was at Phnom Kulen that King Jayavarman II proclaimed independence from Java in 802 CE. Jayavarman II initiated the Devaraja cult of the king, a linga cult, in what is dated as 804 CE and declaring his independence from Java of whom the Khmer had been a vassalage state (whether this is actually "Java", the Khmer chvea used to describe Champa, or "Lava" (a Lao kingdom) is debated, as well as the legend that he was earlier held as a ransom of the kingdom in Java. See Higham's The Civilization of Angkor for more information about the debate). During the Angkorian era, the relief was known as Mahendraparvata.
