Phnom Oudong







Experience something different, interesting & historical near Phnom Penh? Phnom Oudong is worth exploring for a half day or a day trip!
Situated about 40 kilometers northwest of Phnom Penh along National Route 5, Phnom Oudong or Oudong Mountain once was the capital of Cambodia from 1618 to 1866. The mountain is very popular for its Buddha temple at the top of mountain which has amazing stupas and temple structures. This temple does not look very touristy, but it looks popular to locals. It is a good place to escape from crowd, traffic pollution and getting some fresh air.
There is market at the base of the temple along the sides of the road which seem to attract local crowd.Monkeys can be found on the tree branches and also seen playing along the stairway, entertaining everyone.
