All about the trip

In the afternoon, the tour begins with a visit to the hilltop Wat Phnom temple, built-in 1372, and standing 27 meters above the ground it is the tallest religious structure in the city. The interior has a central altar complex with a large bronze seated Buddha surrounded by other statues, flowers, candles, and items of devotion and worship. The walls are covered with murals, especially of Jataka stories of the Buddha's earlier reincarnations before his enlightenment. Continue to the Royal Palace which has been the official Kings of Cambodia’s residence since it was built in the 1860s.

There are numerous buildings and structures to peruse as well as beautiful gardens. On to the Silver Pagoda, named for the over 5,000 heavy silver tiles that cover its floors. Its original name is Wat Prakeo, meaning Temple of the Emerald Buddha; the temple is known for its collection of Buddhas in gold, silver, crystal, and bronze.
