Car
If you're traveling by car, start from central Kampong Speu. Head northeast on National Road 4 (NR4) towards Phnom Penh. After approximately 27 km, you will see signs for Chisor Mountain Temple. Turn left onto the road leading to the temple and follow it for about 5 km. The road will lead you directly to the base of Chisor Mountain. You'll have to park your car at the designated parking area near the entrance to the temple. Note that there may be a small parking fee.
Public Transportation
For those using public transportation, you can take a local bus or a shared taxi from Kampong Speu to the closest village to Chisor Mountain. Look for buses or shared taxis heading towards the town of Takeo. Ask the driver to drop you off at the junction for Chisor Mountain (they will know). From there, you can hire a motorbike taxi to take you the remaining 5 km to the temple entrance. The motorbike taxi fare should be negotiated beforehand, and it typically costs around $2-$3.
