Why go

The temple stands on a natural rise between Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom. From the upper terraces, look for the forested plain and the geometry of Angkor's larger monuments. Sunset is popular, so allow time for the approach and any managed access on the hill.

What to look for

  • Terraces rise above the surrounding forest.
  • The hill reveals Angkor's broad landscape.

Useful to know

  • Start the uphill walk with daylight and check current access rules.
