What To Expect
Royal Palace
We explore the stunning Royal Palace complex, home to the Cambodian royal family and a symbol of the nation. We begin amid the beautiful royal gardens, landscaped with tropical plants and studded with gleaming spires. We enter the Throne Hall where the royal receptions are held and the Cambodian king's coronation took place. We then pass the Napoleon III Pavilion made from iron, a gift from the French emperor in the 19thcentury.We continue to the Silver Pagoda, named after the 5000 silver tiles covering the floor, each weighing 1kg. Inside are some of the country's most cherished treasures, including a life-size gold Buddha studded with 9584 diamonds, the largest weighing 25 carats.
Wat Phnom Daun Penh
The Wat Phnom Temple is a sanctuary founded by Daun Penh (Grandma Penh), a wealthy widow who in 1372, retrieved from a river a log with five Buddha statues in it and ordered to elevate a piece of her property on which to build a temple to house the statues. Later on, Grandma Penh and the villagers converted to build a temple on the top of the mountain and brought the four Buddha statues to the temple. While a standing statue of the goddess was placed in a shrine located on the eastern of the hill. Eventually, this became a sacred site and sanctuary where people would make blessings and pray.

5.00We had a fantastic day out exploring the highlights of Phnom Penh with our tour guide Ms. Neang. Although a slightly more Somber day due to the sights visited like the genocide museum and the killing fields, we felt we walked away educated about the horrible past that the cambodian people endured during the 70s. Our guide was brilliant, she came with a wealth of knowledge and stories and we thank her for that. Our group would highly reccomend this tour and our guide Ms. Neang.
Exciting trip in Phnom Penh
