Phnom Krom

Overview

Phnom Krom is a hill on the outskirts of Siem Reap, topped by an Angkorian temple sharing the same name. Travelers visit to explore the hilltop ruins and observe the surrounding landscape and Tonle Sap floodplains from an elevated vantage point.

Getting There

The site is located south of the city center. A tuk-tuk, taxi, or motorbike ride from central Siem Reap takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes.

Time to Allow

Set aside roughly 1 to 2 hours. This covers walking up the hill, viewing the temple structures, and observing the surrounding scenery.

When to Visit

Late afternoon is the most frequent time to visit for evening views across the plains, though this is when visitor numbers peak. Early morning offers cooler temperatures and fewer people. Midday visits involve direct sun exposure on the climb up.
