Phnom Santuk is a holy site situated halfway between Phnom Penh and Angkor Wat. It's just outside the village of Kompong Thom where we spent one night before heading to Angkor Wat.
To reach the vista at Phnom Santuk, you must climb the 809 step stone stairway.
These friendly faces will keep you motivated. They line the stairway on each side, every step of the way. At the top of the mountain, you'll find several temples of varying styles and age. Check back this week for more. Photos taken in December 2016.
...a beautiful country!
ReplyDeleteWonderful views and nice of you to share.
ReplyDeleteQuite a view but, I can see the humidity in the air. You had such an amazing trip.
ReplyDeleteWe were also there in the middle of the day, not the best light for photos.
Delete809 steps in the heat!!! Great to see the view!
ReplyDeleteI believe I've heard of the place. Certainly I do know of Angkor. Terrific shots!
ReplyDeleteWow! What a stairway! I love those faces. Congratulations on taking on that trek. I'm impressed.
ReplyDeleteThis was just the first of many "stairway to Nirvana" visits! Temples on hills/mountains are very popular in SE Asia. :)
DeleteThey're either smiling or grinning. I'm not sure which. :-)
