Day 02 :

HIKE THE LANGUR TRAILS - SWIM IN THE NATURAL BATH

Today we start our journey with a short drive to the foothills, and then adventure will begin. Kulen means “lychee tree,” and it is only the mountain range in this city. In 1993, it was declared a national park once the country had just liberated itself from the civil war. Surprisingly, it was a strong hold area for Khmer Rouge soldiers after the regime was surrendered in the capital city of Phnom Penh. Now it was brought back to the tourist’s map. Our hiking is starting from the old staircase, where you will prefer to take it because of the great scenery that can be seen from half way. A spring of water from the Buddha’s feet has been a holy spirit to locals for centuries. Here we will immerse ourselves like a local, and a blessing will be celebrated for good luck. You might wish to stay for a cool, windy day under the shade, but some steps away is the hilltop. It is not far, then you could hear the sound of a waterfall. If you love to swim in this natural pool, then you will need to prepare the clothes for change.
