Huh? Not sure who you think is trolling. I've never heard of it either, but here's more info for you:



Betelnut Tours

Small, personal trips around Phnom Penh. Take a daytrip to the Phnom Tamao Wildife Rescue Center or spend 2 days in the countryside with a homestay, Feed and interact with a variety of rescued and endangerd animals at the rescue center or see some ricefields, go hiking near a waterfall and spend a night at our family farm. Both tours include delicious homecooked meals and everything else you need. The size of the groups is limited, to give you a more personal experience. The area around Phnom Penh is varied and offers many different sights besides temples and Khmer Rouge history that most people associate with Cambodia. We want to show you some of these happy places.

I thought it was only a platonic relationship with the snake.........................

The buses going out to provincial areas tend to go out in the early morning and there are returns in the evening, but they aren't at all reliable time-wise and are usually crammed, and the mountain is 5km from the road. It would be far less hassle just to hire a car for a few hours. You also have somewhere to keep your bag and snacks, a local driver at your service and somewhere to go to get away from the gangster monkeys from Wat Phnom who were relocated there a few years back. It and will be far cheaper and more comfortable in the end.
