On the east side of Phnom Kulen, west of Beng Mealea temple, there are several sandstone quarry sites, some old and one that is still active providing sandstone for the restoration works taking place in Angkor. It’s interesting to note the techniques that seemingly haven’t changed too much with iron picks still in use.
In Autumn, there are several “Flame of the Forest” trees across this area that add colour and dramatic contrast to the landscape.
