Depart from Phnom Penh to Takeo. Take a boat from
Takeo to Phnom Da (please note that the speedboat does
not have a cover or any shade - hat and sun tan cream essential).
Visit Phnom Da temple, a pre-Angkorian laterite tower (6th
century) and Asram Maharosei (6th century), an Indian-style
sandstone temple constructed in a style unlike any other temple
in Cambodia (the climb up is easy as this particular Phnom
'hill' is not very high. The path up to the temple is steep,
over some big rocks).
Lunch at local restaurant.
Visit a silk weaving village and continue to Phnom Chisor
Mountain. Climb the 100-meter hill to enjoy the spectacular
view of the surrounding plains and a visit to the 11th century
Brahman temple. Stop at Tonle Bati and visit Ta
Prohm temple (12th-13th century) and Yeay Peau temple
(12th century). Return to Phnom Penh.
