Ruins, lost to all but a few for centuries, hide deep in the jungles of Cambodia for geocachers chasing a smiley on the EarthCache “Phnom Kulen National Park” (GC21N8D). Geocachers must navigate their way toward the holiest mountain in Cambodia. GPS coordinates lead adventurers to an elegantly carved stream bed known as the Kbal Spean site. The site was rediscovered in 1969 after centuries of obscurity.

Aucoin.J created the EarthCache in 2009. The location is just 30 kilometers from Angkor Wat. One geocacher writes, “One of the most beautiful caches and locations I ever did. The jungle was really impressive. We were impressed by the carvings, the butterflies, the water and the whole scenery…”

Geocachers must answers question found only the cache page and email the owner of the cache in order to claim a smiley.
