Phnom Sontuk
About Phnom Sontuk
Phnom Sontuk is the most important holy mountain (and only mountain) in the Kompong Thom region. The hillside is covered with pagodas and Buddhas. You can climb a long set (980 steps) of stairs up through the forest to reach a colorful pagoda with many small shrines. There are stone people lining the stairs up. Hundreds of Buddhas have been carved into the hill and painted and there are also some boulders around the wat that contain carved images of Buddha. At the top are some very attractive views, and if you don’t mind walking down in the dark, the sunset is beautiful. You can meet monks on Phnom Sontuk who are often happy to talk to tourists.
