Day Trip Details

At the agreed time, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Phnom Penh and head northwest in an air-conditioned vehicle toward Wat Vipassana Dkurak, located about 30 kilometers away. On the way, we’ll stop in the Cham village, the heart of Cambodia’s Muslim community.

After learning about the Cham people’s traditions, we’ll continue to Wat Vipassana Dkurak, one of the most impressive temples in Cambodia. Why was this Buddhist sanctuary built? How many worshippers visit each year? We’ll find out together!

From Wat Vipassana Dkurak, we’ll continue to Udong, where we’ll take a break to enjoy a picnic lunch. Once we’ve recharged, we’ll visit several of the town’s temples.

Udong is home to three large stupas that hold the ashes of ancient kings. We’ll visit these monuments and uncover some fascinating stories from their past. We’ll also stop by the Vihara of the 18-Cubit Buddha, which, despite being almost destroyed during the wars that struck the region, remains a must-see in Udong.

Finally, on our way back to Phnom Penh, we’ll stop in Kompong Luong to explore the town’s traditional crafts. You’ll be amazed by the unique handmade pieces on display!
