500 steps in heat to a beautiful pagoda - This was a hard climb for us fit plus 60 year olds. There are 500 steps and it was 36 Celsius out. But once you get to the top the Pagoda is beautiful and the views are nice. Like all pagodas be prepared to take off your shoes and hats. Coming down was sure a lot easier then going up. Don’t forget to bring your water

Nice half day trip outside Phnom - Went there with local friends. Great option for half day tour. Can do it on your own no need to have a formal tour. Can climb 509 steps to top of pagoda and get amazing views. Very popular with local tourists. Lots of street food stalls with a multitude of food and fruit options.
