Explore the Majestic Chisor Mountain Temple

Getting There

• Tuk-Tuk

  From your location in Phnom Penh, find a tuk-tuk driver. You can typically find them near hotels, tourist attractions, or on the street. Tell the driver you want to go to Chisor Mountain Temple (or simply 'Chisor'). The driver will take you to the base of the mountain, which is approximately 50 kilometers from the city center. The ride may take around 1-1.5 hours depending on traffic. Once you arrive at the base, you will see the entrance to the temple area.

• Bus and Walk

  Head to the central bus station in Phnom Penh, called 'Phnom Penh Sorya Bus Terminal' located at 360 Street, near the riverfront. Take a bus to Takeo Province; the journey typically lasts about 2 hours. Once you arrive at Takeo bus station, you can either hire a tuk-tuk or a moto-taxi to take you directly to Chisor Mountain Temple, which is about 15 kilometers away. The driver will take you to the base where you can start your hike up to the temple.

• Motorbike Rental

  If you are comfortable riding a motorbike, rent one from a local rental shop in Phnom Penh. Start your journey by heading south on National Road 2. Follow the road for about 50 kilometers until you reach the junction for Chisor Mountain. Follow the signs to the temple; the last stretch will involve a steep climb up a winding road. Park your motorbike at the base and hike up the stairs to the temple.
