It contains Buddhist cultural features approached by a staircase and a complex of karst caves. One cave Rung Damrey Saa ("White Elephant's Cave") has a stalagmite resembling the head of an elephant; another has a bat colony.[1] The gateway to the caves is marked by a pagoda, approximately {{convert|1|km}} from the main road.[1] GeographyThe complex is located about {{convert|11|mi}} east of Kampot. It is accessed via a dirt road which veers from the NH33; signage refers to the site as the Phnom Sorsia Resort.[3] Phnom Sorsia, Phnom Chhnork, Kep, and Bokor National Park make up a popular day trip of the Kampot Province.[2] The forest-covered hill has several limestone caves. The White Elephant Cave is so named as there are many stalagmites in the limestone formations which resemble white elephants.[3] East of Phnom Sorsia is the "Bat Cave", with a population of several thousand bats.[3] They come out to the surface through a narrow chimney-type passage, and are hunted by bamboo-wielding local residents who swat at them while they are airborne.[4] A concealed pool with cool water is approached through a hole. The vistas from the top of the mountain are of rice fields. CulturePhnom Sorsia is considered a holy hill. Steps have been carved in the slopes in a winding formation,[5] to reach both the top of the mountain and the White Elephant Cave. Cultural features include two Buddha statues to the right of the White Elephant Cave, a garishly painted temple, as well as a stupa on top of the hill.[4] References1. ^{{cite book|last=Vater|first=Tom|title=Moon Cambodia|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=iTMkF7qAGCcC&pg=PA164|accessdate=1 January 2013|date=29 December 2009|publisher=Avalon Travel|isbn=978-1-59880-214-6|pages=164–}} 2. ^{{cite book|last=Williams|first=China|title=Southeast Asia 15|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=eTuUboxIQTsC&pg=PA121|accessdate=4 January 2013|date=3 March 2010|publisher=Lonely Planet|isbn=978-1-74179-233-1|pages=121–}} 3. ^1 {{cite book|author=DK Travel Guides|title=DK Eyewitness Travel Guide: Cambodia & Laos|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Xt7kQaNSPMMC&pg=PA180|date=1 June 2011|publisher=Dorling Kindersley Limited|isbn=978-1-4053-4985-7|page=115|ref=harv}} 4. ^1 2 3 {{cite book|author1=Nick Ray|author2=Greg Bloom|author3=Daniel Robinson|title=Cambodia 7|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=DDVC3QCjQqsC&pg=PA229|accessdate=1 January 2013|date=1 July 2010|publisher=Lonely Planet|isbn=978-1-74179-457-1|pages=229–}} 5. ^{{cite book|title=Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos & the Greater Mekong|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=MHmyAAAAIAAJ|accessdate=2 January 2013|year=2007|publisher=Lonely Planet|page=244}} 6 : Caves of Cambodia|Buddhist temples in Cambodia|Geography of Kampot Province|Buildings and structures in Kampot Province|Show caves|Tourist attractions in Kampot Province |
