Begin your journey with a scenic countryside drive from Phnom Penh to Oudong Mountain, the former royal capital of Cambodia, where you’ll ascend the hill to explore ancient summit temples, sacred stupas housing royal relics, a jade Buddha, and the mummified remains of a revered monk; enjoy a traditional Khmer lunch at a local restaurant (own expense), then continue with a cultural walk through peaceful meditation halls and lesser-known temples, and if time allows, visit a nearby village or pagoda for a meaningful interaction with locals or monks before returning to the city.
