    Exploring the ancient ruins at Oudong Mountain was a highlight for us, especially standing in awe at the stunning stupa views. While our guide was knowledgeable about Cambodia’s royal history, we felt a bit rushed at some of the sites.

    We had a fantastic day delving into the rich royal history and vibrant culture of the region, with the hike up the mountain offering stunning vistas that made the effort worthwhile. While the private guide was knowledgeable and engaging, we did feel that some of the historical context could have been covered in more detail.
