Phnon Sampeau
- Battambang
In Brief
Phnom Sampeau & Bat Caves
Just outside Battambang Phnom Sampeau is a modern temple located atop a limestone cliff. A road wrapped around the hill with stunning panoramic views winds its way to the top. You pass a cave which was used by the Khmer Rouge on the approach also.
Phnom Sampeau is the name given to a small mountain 8km outside of Battambang. It’s elongated form means it runs parallel to the road which leads you there, it’s dramatic limestone cliffs protruding from its otherwise forest cover. A charming village road leads you to the base of the mountain past a grand pagoda, a cave gaping from the rock face, and a carved Buddha’s head built into the same rock face.
Once on the winding road to the top, halfway up is a cave which was used by the Khmer Rouge to deposit bodies of its victims. Bones of these victims remain today, and the sight is a harsh reminder of Cambodia’s recent history. Continue further to the top where there is a selection of modern pagodas, and stunning views across some of Cambodia’s most sublime landscapes.
