Udong Historical Site Tour

Location Cambodia, Cambodia

The Killing field and Toul Sleng genocide museum S21 Tour

The Udong Historical Sites Tour offers visitors an opportunity to explore the rich history, vibrant culture, stunning natural beauty, unique local lifestyle, expansive rice paddies, and panoramic views from atop Udong Mountain.



Travelers en route to Udong, located along the Tonle Sap River approximately 40 kilometers northwest of Phnom Penh, will embark upon a journey that spans roughly one hour and fifteen minutes, contingent upon traffic conditions.

Upon arrival, visitors are afforded an unparalleled opportunity to observe the quintessential Cambodian landscape through the expansive windows of their vehicle. This scenic excursion promises vistas that encapsulate the traditional rural beauty characteristic of the region.

Nestled within this historical context, Udong stands as a testament to its rich heritage. It served as the capital city of Cambodia for an astounding two hundred and fifty years until being subsumed by Phnom Penh under French colonial rule in 1866. This pivotal shift in governance marked the beginning of the decline of Udong's prominence.

The ascent to Phnom Oudong commences from the rear of the ridge, culminating in a descent via a majestic 509-step staircase. Along this path, travelers will traverse numerous religious structures and royal stupas, each housing relics associated with illustrious Khmer monarchs who reigned during their reign. These architectural marvels dot the rugged terrain of the ridge, offering panoramic vistas of the verdant countryside below.

At the peak of Phnom Oudong, the horizon stretches out before the traveler, revealing the serene Kandal Temple nestled amidst expanses of fertile plains and rice paddies. As the descent progresses, visitors may occasionally glimpse the playful antics of local primates, further enriching the sensory experience.

Upon reaching the base of the hill, passengers will be greeted by the welcoming presence of a waiting van or bus, ready to transport them to Silversmiths Village, where they shall engage in a cultural immersion into the artisanal traditions of the area.
