Detailed Itinerary
Hotel Pickup & Scenic Journey to Oudong
Your private local woman guide will meet you at your hotel in Phnom Penh before departing in a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle toward Oudong, the former royal capital of Cambodia.
The drive offers beautiful views of Cambodia’s countryside, where endless rice fields, traditional villages, and rural landscapes reveal the peaceful rhythm of everyday life outside the capital.
Along the journey, your guide will introduce the fascinating history of Oudong and its important role in Cambodia’s royal heritage.
Explore Oudong Ancient Capital
Upon arrival, begin exploring Oudong Hill, one of Cambodia’s most important historical and religious landmarks.
For more than two centuries, Oudong served as the royal capital of Cambodia and was home to generations of Khmer kings before the capital moved to Phnom Penh.
Climb the hill to discover magnificent temples, peaceful pagodas, and three impressive stupas that preserve the sacred relics of former Cambodian monarchs.
From the summit, enjoy breathtaking panoramic views stretching across rice fields, rivers, villages, and the surrounding countryside—one of the finest viewpoints near Phnom Penh.
Your guide will share stories of Cambodia’s royal dynasty, Buddhist traditions, and the historical significance of this remarkable UNESCO-recognized heritage site.
Vihara of the 18-Cubit Buddha
Continue to the remarkable Vihara of the 18-Cubit Buddha, home to a magnificent 30-meter-high standing Buddha statue.
This sacred monument survived decades of conflict, including American bombings during the Vietnam War era and the Khmer Rouge regime, making it a powerful symbol of Cambodia’s resilience, faith, and cultural identity.
Take time to admire the impressive architecture while learning about the importance of Buddhism in Cambodian daily life.
Traditional Cambodian Lunch
Relax over a delicious lunch at a carefully selected local restaurant.
Enjoy authentic Cambodian cuisine prepared with fresh regional ingredients while taking in the peaceful atmosphere of the surrounding countryside.
Kompong Luong Silversmith Village
After lunch, travel to Kompong Luong, Cambodia’s best-known traditional silversmith village.
Here you’ll meet local artisans whose families have practiced the ancient art of silver craftsmanship for generations.
Watch as skilled craftsmen carefully transform raw silver into elegant jewelry, ceremonial objects, tableware, and decorative souvenirs using traditional handcrafting techniques.
You’ll also have free time to browse locally made silver products and purchase authentic handcrafted gifts directly from the artisans.
