Deep in the Kulen Mountains, Cambodia

[KTMphil]

Reed Resnikoff:

"Photo attached taken deep in the Kulen Mountains, Cambodia, literally in the middle of nowhere. Carved from a solid piece of rock in 802 AD. Note the 2 stone lions on the ridge in the background. An hellacious off-road ride to get there - single track, many times only rain-runoff trails. Worth every curse. The only word I could say when I saw them was 'Wow" and that was all I could say for the next ten minutes. RR"

Does anyone know if there is a GPX File floating around out there for this route?

This shot may have been before GPS was in common use, ill try find out from Reed what he has (looking at how young Reed is in the photo, it might have even been before they discovered electricity).

Thanks for the links LR.

I got a chuckle out of:

"It all sounds great, but there's a catch: A Khmer businessman built the road up to the summit and charges $20 per foreigner to use it. It's a very disappointing state of affairs and results in many visitors boycotting the site."
