Udong Historical Site Tour

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, natural beauty, unique local lifestyle, picturesque rice paddies, and panoramic views from atop Udong Mountain. This tour provides a comprehensive experience that immerses participants in the cultural heritage and scenic landscapes of this ancient site.



Travelers journey to Udong via the Tonle Sap River, an approximately one-hour and fifteen-minute drive, subject to traffic conditions. Upon arrival, one may appreciate the picturesque Cambodian landscape through the vehicle's windows.

Nestled 40 kilometers northwest of Phnom Penh, Udong served as the capital of Cambodia for two centuries until its relocation to Phnom Penh in 1866 under French colonial rule. This pivotal shift marked the end of Udong's role as the nation's administrative center.

The ascent begins from the rear of the mountainous ridge, where travelers traverse the scenic path comprising five hundred ninety stairs. Along this route, numerous religious structures and ancient royal stupas, housing remnants of notable Khmer kings, adorn the ridge line.

At the summit of Phnom Oudong, panoramas unfold across the surrounding countryside, including the serene Kandal Temple nestled amidst vast expanses of plains and rice fields. As visitors descend the hillside, they might encounter monkey sightings.

Upon reaching the foot of the mountain, guests await their return vehicle, which departs for Silversmiths Village.
