A three-tiered mountain-temple dedicated to Shiva, built by King Rajendravarman in the century in a style similar to the Eastern Mebon.

This three-tiered temple-mountain dedicated to Shiva was built by King Rajendravarman. Similar in style to the Eastern Mebon, it was built in the mid-tenth century on a rectangular platform of 117 by 127 meters and like many Angkor temples has five staggered towers. The base tower is surrounded by 12 small shrines. Its nickname, "Turning the Body," is said to come from a cremation ritual, but could also come from an evolution of the Sanskrit term Viśvarūpa ("having various forms"). In any case, the mystery remains.

Après avoir pénétré dans un couloir ouvert, on découvre un très jolie temple pyramide à trois niveau qu'il faut gravir (et les marches sont rudes). On peut circuler sur les étroites terrasses intermédiaires mais c'est assez "casse gueule". Au sommet une rangée de sculptures qui ressemble à des lions regardent vers l'horizon. Quatre petits temple entourent un bâtiment central. Il y a un jolie point de vue que je vous laisserai découvrir si vous le souhaitez sur ma vidéo..

Un des meilleurs endroits des temples d'Angkor pour admirer le coucher de soleil. Attention, celui-ci se mérite car il faudra gravir plusieurs escaliers avec des marches importantes pour arriver au sommet.

Temple à plusieurs niveaux aux marches très hautes, Pré Rup est à visiter si possible au coucher du soleil pour les couleurs des pierres.

Un temple montagne qui permet en atteignant le sommet d'avoir une belle vue sur la jungle alentour. Le paysage est magnifique au moment du coucher du soleil.
