Phnom Kulen, a sacred mountain range from where the stones for Angkor Wat temples taken from, at Siem Reap, Cambodia

These mountains have the sandstones from which the Cambodian temples like Angkor Wat were constructed. I am drawn to this mountain top which gives a beautiful view.

It was an exhilarating view from top of the hills; I also imagined how one would see the hills from the moving train.
