An truly amazing trip!
For the whole day we came across no other tourists which was such a massive plus and for those in Cambodia who did not visit Oudongk it’s absolutely their miss!
We started off with a cruise up the river past the floating villages with various sights as we moved up the river towards Oudongk.
Our boat moored off the bank and our guide (who was absolutely brilliant) then took us up by tuk tuk to a silver village and from their to the Buddhist temples below Oudongk. We met the monks and the nuns, we were able to fully explore all the temples and the living accommodation for the monks and nuns who were so friendly and curious about ourselves. The nuns in particular.
From there we went up the mountain, down to a street market and then had a lovely late lunch before heading back to our boat and down the river.
This tour was the best of our entire three week trip. The guide was knowledgeable and incredibly accommodating to allow us to explore all the areas we wanted to. It felt very authentic to the area and felt like we really were experiencing a part of Cambodia that very few people have the privilege in experiencing.
But thank you to our guide for a truly memorable experience!
