Phnom Chhnork

Temple Kampot, Kampot, Cambodia

What to expect

Phnom Chhnork is a Hindu cave temple located in Kampot Province, southern Cambodia. The temple was built in the 7th century from Funan brick, dedicated to Shiva, and is accessed via stone steps. It is a small but fascinating temple that gives a magical atmosphere of being captured in time. The cave has preserved its condition throughout the centuries, with elephants carved from stalactite framing the entrance to the temple. Visitors can explore the intricate carvings and statues within the cave, seek inner peace in the quiet atmosphere, and climb the steps leading out of the cave for breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside
