Udon Monastery & Silversmith Village

An Intimate Glimpse of Village Life and Devotion Immerse yourself in daily life along the Tonlé Sap River, visiting a revered monastery and a silversmith village. Embark on a scenic drive through the Cambodian countryside and river delta of the Kampong Speu province. Upon arrival in Udong, you will witness a life largely unaffected by the modern world. Enjoy a tour with your host and meet residents with your guide, getting a rare glimpse of a small community which was also the royal capital of Cambodia from the 17th to the 19th centuries. Then, continue to the Udon Monastery, one of Cambodia’s major Buddhist monasteries. Marvel at its sculpted golden dragons keeping watch over the grand entrance and the ornate facade. During your visit, you will receive a blessing amid a shower of jasmine petals from the monks. After, get a glimpse into life in the silversmith village and learn about their traditions before returning to your ship. * Easy - Walking portions are generally over easy surfaces with few steps or inclines.
