The drive up Kulen Mountain offers key stops before you reach the waterfall.
Guided tours and private drivers typically pause at villages and lookouts along the 50-kilometer route from Siem Reap. These stops break up the 1.5 to 2-hour drive and give you a chance to buy local snacks.
Remember that the mountain road is strictly one-way uphill before 11:00 AM. Plan your stops carefully to ensure you pass the checkpoint in time.
