Phnom Bok, Archaeological site and mountain in Siem Reap Province, Cambodia

The mountain rises 205 meters above the surrounding landscape, featuring three Hindu temple towers constructed from laterite and sandstone blocks.

King Yasovarman I ordered the construction of this temple complex between the 9th and 10th centuries as part of a strategic religious triad.

The temple sanctuary contains representations of thirty-three Hindu deities and displays dedicated spaces for Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva worship.

Visitors need to climb 635 steps to reach the temple complex, making early morning visits recommended to avoid midday heat.

The temple structure serves as an astronomical observation point, with specific entrances aligned to mark seasonal solstice events.

Elevation above the sea: 205 m
