Korte feiten: A steep climb of 59 meters leads to the top of this pyramid-shaped hill offering panoramic views. Over 350 sandstone and laterite blocks form a temple with five sanctuary towers arranged in a quincunx pattern on its summit.
Hoogtepunten: Climbing here for sunset is a unique experience as the glowing orange sky lights up the faces of the 175 stone faces carved into the temple towers. The hill's position gives an amazing vantage point over the Angkor Archaeological Park where thousands view the sunset daily.
Insidertips
- Wear sturdy shoes since the climb is uneven and steep.
- Arrive early to get a good spot for photographing the sunset.
- Bring water and a hat for sun protection.
- Avoid weekends when the viewing platform is crowded.
