This site is historically significant. There is evidence of human habitation from at least 400BCE and the present temple (11th century) stands on the footprint of an earlier temple (5-6th century). The sculptures from the temple are in both the National Museum in Phnom Penh and a few are in the Angkor Borei museum nearby. When I went they were working on reconstructing the roof. It is situated atop a hill which will require walking up a few flights of stairs. Mosquitoes were about so bring insect repellant. There are important caves, one of which has the Yoni pedestal for a missing Shivalingam. On the other side of the hill is the Asram Maharishi, and although the original deity is long gone, it is currently a venerated shrine in the memory of a great sage.

Phnom Da temple was built on the top of a small hill in 6th century by King Rutravarman, who reigned during the Norkor Phnom period. The temple is 12 meters square and 18 meters high. It was constructed of brick and sandstone. A Hindu temple, it faces north towards Norkor Kork Thalork (Nokor Phnom) which was the capital of Nokor Phnom (or Funan) at the time the temple was built. Things should be improved there: -stair -trash -parking lots

A relatively huge stand-alone temple located on a tiny hill with about 100 steps to reach. Beautiful landscape to enjoy esp. during rainy season. All of temples located in Takeo province of Cambodia, probably this is one of the best n most recommended temples in the list I would personally suggest.

The temple is located on top of the hill in the ancient region of Angkor Borei. Prasat Phnom Da is a well-preserved brick temple, date back to the Funan era of the 1st to 6th centuries, the temple we see today was built around the 11th century, possibly replacing -be an earlier site.

Neat temple at the top of a hill or "mountain" I'f your from a flat country. Aprox 80 steep steps to top. Would be slippery when wet ... Would be 4 stars but trash everywhere on walk up. Why can people just not make one big pile instead of spreading it out????
