Phnom Bakheng Sunset Temple
This is a temple mountain. The foundation of Bakheng is carved from the existing rock edifice rather than the latrine and earthfill than most of the other temples. Bakheng’s hilltop location makes it the most popular sunset location in the area. Offering a view of the Tonle Sap lake, Siem Reap town and a distant Angkor Wat in the jungle.
It is always over-crowded at sunset but is quiet for the rest of the day. Elephant rides up the hill are available for sunset.
