As the first visit of many to temples on our 2 week trip around Cambodia, this was a great introductory one. Aside from the very non western toilets (squat holes) at the bottom, the hundreds of steep stairs in the heat and a dusty tuk...More
The temple is a thousand years old. The climb was rewarding and not too difficult. The view from the top was stunning and the temple itself was beautiful in its ruinous state. Some people were asking for money. There was some litter. We gave the...More
First, there are 300 steps. Long, spaced out steps. This isn’t a great problem, because you expect the steps if you’re going to see a temple ruin at the top of a hill. Yes, it’s a great view. That’s it for the good points though.......More

There are 412 steps that are spaced out to the ruins and the ruins are still an active place for prayer. The view of the country side is beautiful.
We were a group if 7 people and we hired 2 tuktuks to take us from the city and back. It cost us $12 each (tuktuk) + $1 each for entrance fees. I think it was the cheapest way. The temple itself offers a great...More
