History
Oudong served as Cambodia’s royal capital between 1618 and 1866; the hills hold royal stupas and later memorials tied to 20th-century conflicts.
Conservation
Visitor pressure can accelerate erosion on stairways and fragile chedi bases—stick to marked paths, avoid climbing on stupas, and support local guides who promote respectful visitation.

Start early
Departing in the morning avoids the midday heat and gives crisper light for photos on the stupas.
Hydrate for the climb
Bring at least 2 liters of water—the stair climb is exposed and humid.
Respect dress codes
Wear clothing that covers shoulders and knees for temple entry and bring a lightweight sarong if needed.
Bring local cash
Small vendors, donations and some entrance fees are easiest paid in Riel or USD cash.
Sturdy walking shoes
Good grip and ankle support for temple steps and uneven stone surfaces.
2L water bottle or hydration pack
Keeps you hydrated during exposed climbs in Cambodia’s heat.
summer
Sun protection (hat, sunscreen)
Wide-brim hat and SPF protect against strong tropical sun on open ridges.
