Lunch in Oudong at Local Restaurant 

Continue to Oudong for a delicious local lunch, giving you a chance to rest and savor traditional Cambodian flavors.

Exploring Oudong’s Historic Hills

In the afternoon, explore Oudong, which served as Cambodia’s royal capital from 1618 to 1866, before the capital moved to Phnom Penh. The area is dotted with several impressive stupas and temples spread across three scenic hills. These massive stupas, visible from afar, contain the remains of Khmer kings including King Monivong (1927–1941) and King Ang Duong (1845–1859).

Summit Climb & Panoramic Views

Climb the 500 steps to the summit, a rewarding trek that offers both great exercise and breathtaking panoramic views of the countryside. The site also holds deep historical significance, as it was one of the final strongholds of Khmer Rouge resistance against the Vietnamese army in 1979. A memorial stupa stands here to honor those who perished during that tragic time.

Return to Phnom Penh – Hotel

After a full day of history, culture, and stunning scenery, return to Phnom Penh for hotel drop-off, concluding your enriching Oudong experience.
