Kampong Trach District, Kampot in Cambodia

Kampot – a country territory 

After lunch we went through the area known as Kampot to visit the Kampong Trach limestone caverns. The mountains of Kampong Trach turned into one of the last Khmer Rouge fortifications. Phnom Voar is the place the casualties of the 1994 Khmer Rouge kidnappings were held. Kampot is the name of the town and also the area. Kampot is a really country territory with the Elephant mountains as a setting. Along the way we kept running into a tropical storm, happy we weren't got out in it (our turn would come later). The rice fields in the district are so green with little farmhouses specked among them, an odd dark wild ox wading in the enclosures. 


Caverns – Kampong Trach Village 
Kampong Trach is a little town while in transit to the caverns. Rough mountain ridges ascending high over the backwoods trees demonstrated we were nearing our destination. The transport stopped a short separation away, we proceeded by walking along an earth street to the sign driving into the holes. Splendidly hued wild in the ballpark of, five headed Naga's gatekeeper the pathway into the holes. There are various Shrines outside the passageway to the caverns. 

I was a touch uneasy about going into the holes, almost everybody had stuffed a light though..so… another enterprise!! It was exceptionally dull once we entered the caverns, we required the light lights to see the way. Our aide filled us in on the history, illuminating fascinating rock arrangements on the hollow dividers as we traveled through the dimness. In places the cave is wide and open, different ranges narrowing down. Grottoes with clear water are uncovered. 

Limestone Caves 
Did you know, that limestone holes are normally the most profound and longest collapses the world. They are additionally prone to have stalactite or stalagmite developments, or different other shape. These shapes, utilizing a little creative energy can take after creatures, winged serpents and so on. One inside of this hole framework was the "eye" of a mythical serpent (or was it an elephant) which is truly particular. 

There are numerous little sanctuaries inside of the hollows roosted on overhanging rough edges, niches and crevices. The villagers take care of the caverns. It was just a short trip through the holes, satisfying to see a look of daylight up ahead. 

After the dimness of the holes 
Turning out from the dimness of the holes was similar to a disclosure. A little clearing in full daylight, surrounded with taking off rock dividers secured in splendid greenery. It was similar to remaining in a Cathedral. Natures Cathedral. Towering rock dividers vanishing into the brilliant daylight overhead. Lovely. It is difficult to accommodate this lovely spot just like a fortress of the Khmer Rouge. 


Investigating around this little clearing we discovered strides from a thin hole prompting different caves. Enormous rope like Liana vines hung down the stone dividers, numerous shrouded gives in and burrows. The nearby kids were clearly extremely acquainted with the hollow framework and drove us to numerous spots we would not have generally seen. Water streams through these mountains and little pools show up inside of the caverns and underneath the stone shade. 

It was an intriguing background investigating the territory. In the long run we needed to return back through the caverns to the passage, as there is no other way out. They say this little clearing encased inside of the stone dividers is the place the focal point of the mountain broken down ages prior. A captivating
