Ancient temples perched dramatically on cliffs make Preah Vihear one of Cambodia’s most spectacular sights. This UNESCO site, built by three successive Khmer kings, rises 52 meters above the surrounding countryside.
The mountaintop location not only provides stunning views but also means fewer travelers compared to more accessible temples.
I’m especially fond of the private guided tours here – they’re worth every penny. Your guide explains the temple’s architectural brilliance while leading you through less-visited sections, and the included transportation tackles the tricky logistics of reaching this remote location.
