Address

Forest trailhead north of Banteay Srei; about 1.5 hours by car from Siem Reap

The trail climbs through jungle from the car park for about 40 minutes, with two rough, steep rocky stretches and cool air under the trees. At the top the riverbed and boulders are carved with Hindu deities and more than a thousand lingas, water running across them. In the dry season the water thins and the carvings show. A small waterfall on the way down is good for cooling your feet.
