Phnom Prasith
Phnom Prasith
Located at the commune of MA KAk,Phnom Penh District and Chhving,Ponhea Leu District .To get there "By the document of khmer table part 6"explains that turists should travel along the National Road NO5(Phnom Penh - Battambang) until they rech the Kilometer 38 closed to Udong Market,turn left about 16 kilometers by the National Road No 26 until they reach the turning road,turn left as long as they reach the Prasith Mountain.
Nowaday,visitor do not like to go along the National Road No 26 as it is the common border of the provinces of Kandal and Kompong Speu is not in good condition and 100% safe either.
The popular road to reach the Prasith Mountain is the NAtional Road No 5,when we reach the turning road at Pred Phov market in kilometer 11,turn left about 13 kilometers.The total distance from Phnom Penh to Prasith Mountain is 24 Km and from Ta Khmao to Prasith mountian is 35 Km.
In the future,if the National Road No 26 and other road to Prasith mountain are in hood condition and assuring security,the transporting of turists ca go around the Prasith Mountain ,firstly exit by trail to the National road No 26 then processed to the Idtharoes mountain.
The Prasith Mountain related to the both mountains bordered by the valley is Kandal Province. Whereas the mountain at the East has stories related religious history with a big Buddhist statue achieved Nirvana and stories related to the history Khmer's King.
Nowadays,the Prasith mountain has no many big trees and decoration.There are few visitors visit there because of bad arrangement and management .However, this attractive site has beautifyl scenery and fersh air.The Prasith Mountain is the culture ,historical and natural site.
