Experts' Choice Award Kbal Spean
What the experts agree on
Kbal Spean pairs a scenic jungle hike (about 30 min) with a unique payoff: riverbed carvings of lingams and Hindu deities. Experts love the journey as much as the sacred, atypical destination.
“This is a nice short hike to take while enjoying a picnic lunch at the top.”
