Like in many of the temples in Angkor, there’s a coexistence of Hindu and Buddhist elements and it reminds, in a much smaller scale, the majestic Angkor Wat. The most scenic part, in my opinion, is the stairs. The 370 steps are framed by lushy trees that offer shade during your hike and it steep verticality, drag your eyes to the top temple. http://nomadswind.com/cambodia-travel-diary-2-battambang-2/](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/553248635967614376/068314c5-609c-4651-9994-20f2b916e908.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ![If you continue up the hill from the Killing Caves, you will find the temple that has been built in recent years thanks to donation from Khmer people.
