Cambodia - Battambang Province - Phnom Banan Temple.

Adapts the architecture of mid 11th century and the end of 12th century the temple was first built by king, Ut Tak Yea Tit Tya Varman II (1050-1066) and then was finally built by the king, Jarvarman VII (1181-1219). The temple is located on the top of approximate 400-meter heighten mountain at Kon Tey 2 commune, Banan District in 25-kilometer distance from the provincial town by the provincial Road No 155 parallel to Sang Ke River. At the mountain's valley, there are Ku Teuk and two main natural wells, namely: Bit Meas and Chhung or Chhung Achey.

This Angkor-era mountaintop temple is definitely worth a look. At the top are beautiful views of the winding Sangker River set amidst sugar palm trees, rice fields and small villages. To the south you will see a mountain range that features a crocodile shaped mountain and to the northwest Phnom Sampau. The temple itself is beautiful looking from the ground as well as the top. The structures are pretty much intact, but unfortunately like so many Khmer ruins, they have fallen victim to massive looting. Still, there are some interesting works to see. There are five temple structures, like Angkor, with the middle being the largest. (Use caution around the entrance to the center structure-there is a large hanging block-a headache-in-waiting for some poor soul).

To reach these towers and enjoy the magnificent panoramic view, you have to climb up 358 steep steps but it is definitely worth a look. At the top are stunning scenery of Sanger River amid sugar palm trees and the breathtaking view of the surrounding countryside, with small villages dotting the endless rice paddies.

In spite of some looting, the temple still comes in a considerably better state of repair. Several delightfully carved lintels remain above some of the towers doorways, others are now displayed in the Battambang Museum.
