The Durian Roundabout in Kampot is a well-known landmark representing the region's popular fruit, the durian. Located in the heart of Kampot city, it's an easily accessible destination for travelers and locals alike. Here are the different ways to reach the Durian Roundabout:
There are no direct flights to Kampot. The nearest airport is in Phnom Penh International Airport (PNH). From Phnom Penh, you can opt for a private taxi, a minibus, or a bus to reach Kampot, which is about a 2 to 3-hour drive depending on traffic conditions.
Buses run regularly from Phnom Penh and other major cities like Sihanoukville and Siem Reap to Kampot. Upon arriving at the bus station in Kampot, you can take a tuk-tuk or a moto-taxi directly to the Durian Roundabout.
Private taxis can be hired from any major city in Cambodia. They are more comfortable than buses and can take you directly to the roundabout. Be sure to agree on the fare before departing.
There is a weekend train service from Phnom Penh to Kampot. If you're looking for a scenic route and have time on your hands, you may consider this option. After arriving at the Kampot train station, a short tuk-tuk ride will get you to the roundabout.
If you're feeling adventurous, renting a motorcycle or bicycle is an option for reaching the Durian Roundabout in Kampot. This offers a more intimate experience of the Cambodian countryside but be prepared for a challenging ride if you're not used to local traffic conditions or the climate.
When navigating to the roundabout, simply ask locals for directions to the "Durian Circle" as it's a well-known landmark, and they will gladly point you in the right direction.
