This mountain temple was built of laterite, brick and sandstone in the 11th century and this attraction is located near Phnom Penh. The mountain is about 100 meters high with two beautiful stone-made stairs. Visitors can reach the top of the temple using the western stairs, which consists of 206 steps, in only 30 minutes, whereas the northern stairs with 434 steps takes at least one hour to reach the top and the view looking down the countryside is simply magnificent.
