HIKING THE LOST CITY OF MAHENDRAPARVATA MOUNT KULEN CAMBODIA

Phnom Kulen is a mountainous plateau of hermits and herbs, and secret places lost in deep jungle, that lies 25 miles north-east of Angkor Wat. A former stronghold of the Khmer Rouge, it is about 15 miles long by six wide, and nine villages nestle in the tropical forest that still covers much of it (though illegal logging and the planting of cashew nut trees are rapidly eating into the tree cover). The mountain is sacred to Buddhists and Hindus, and to Cambodians in general, for it was here that Jayavarman II is said to have founded the Khmer empire, which lasted from the ninth to the 15th centuries.

Beginning 40km north of Angkor Wat, the LiDAR revealed that Mahendraparvata (Sanskrit for “Mountain of the Great Indra” which refers to the nearby Phnom Kulen mountain range) may well have once stretched all the way to Angkor Wat from the mountains, which would make the complex one of the biggest cities in ancient history.
