Phnom Sampeau Overview
This is also one of the famous yet fearful hill temples of Battambang, as it is located in the notorious location of Killing Fields. This was the area where innocent citizens were tortured to death during the nasty Khmer Rouge rule between 1975 and 1979. On top of the hill, one can find recently-constructed temples in traditional Khmer architectural styles, providing a panoramic view of Battambang city.

The way that leads into the hill summit is filled with various macaques. In the evening, witness thousands of bats fly off from the caves at the base of the hill.



Location
- Found at a distance of about 12km towards the southwest of Battambang.

Timings – Open all through the day.

Price – Takes around USD2 or USD3 to get to the top of the hill.
