As indicated Phanom Rung is located on top of a hill (tour buses have to work to negotiate it). Leading to the sanctuary is a walkway, a few hundreds meters long. On the way to the main monument, there are 3 naga bridges (one just before the main monument), and lower and an upper stairway. The upper stairway leads to the top of the hill. There are quite a few steps, but it is not hard to climb.
