Phnom Sampov – the main attraction in Battambang
Phnom Sampov is a popular tourist destination. Here you can find the Bat Caves and also the Killing Caves, but that is not all the mountain has to offer. There is also a pagoda on the mountain and visitors can expect a beautiful view of the “rice chamber of Cambodia”.
