Udong Travel Guide

Twenty five miles north of Phnom Penh, Udong straddles a pair of ridges and offers visitors sweeping views over the countryside. This Cambodian town has a few historical and natural attraction of interest to tourists.

Udong is part of Kampong Spœ Province, an area known for its well-preserved traditional villages and mountainous countryside. Visitors are relatively rare though there are a few resorts in outlying areas. Homestay arrangements are possible in certain areas for those in search of authentic local life.

With that in mind, there’s very little to actually see and do here beyond enjoying the scenery. As Udong is close to Phnom Penh and can be visited in a single day, there’s little reason to be based here for any amount of time.

Getting There & Away

Udong sits along the NH4 highway from Phnom Penh and can be reached in an hour from the capital. The road continues a short distance to Kampong Spœ and then on toward Sihanoukville. The airport at Phnom Penh is an important international gateway with service to cities across Southeast Asia and beyond.
