Phnom Banan Cave

Also recorded as Rusai Kriem Cave. It is located at the foot of Phnom Banan and its ancient temple and is reached by following a trail from the temple staircase around the eastern side of the mountain. A guide is usually available to show you the way for a kind tip. It’s quite cavernous and impossibly dark. Inside, several stalactites can be seen (with a torch) that are highly venerated along with a small shrine consisting of an array of Buddha statues.
