The Ruins of Phnom Chisor

Built in the 11th century by King Suryavarman I, Phnom Chisor is dedicated to the Hindu divinities Shiva and Vishnu. Located a bit outside of Phnom Penh, the walk up the 133m high hill to reach the temple is not bad.

 

There are a seemingly endless supply of ancient temples across Cambodia. Some people grow tired of seeing them, but I guess I have good temple endurance as I always enjoy seeing these ancient ruins - be them hidden in the depths of the jungle or perched atop a mountain.
