Phnom Chisor, a site of historical significance, is situated in the Dokpor village about 62km away from Phnom Penh. Erected in the early years of the 11th century by King Suryavarman, it stands on a hilltop with visitors needing to ascend 412 steps to get to the peak. Certain fitness level is a necessity to embark on this voyage.
The breathtaking vistas alone justify the uphill trek, offering a sweeping aerial view of Takeo Province, with its expanse of lush rice fields in sight. It is encased on three sides by the contemporary structures of a pagoda. The main temple houses Buddhist idols, revered both by monks and common pilgrims. A semi-deteriorated enclosure encompasses the ancient establishment. The vicinity of Phnom Chisor saw devastation from a US bomb attack in 1973 and was subsequently restored in 1979.
