An Adventure Inside Historic Angkor

Angkor Zipline operates within the forested landscape of Angkor Archaeological Park, one of the world’s most important cultural heritage areas. Angkor was the centre of the Khmer Empire for several centuries and contains temples, reservoirs, canals, roads and settlements created between approximately the ninth and fifteenth centuries.


UNESCO inscribed Angkor on the World Heritage List in 1992. The protected area is valuable not only for its monuments but also for its cultural landscape, forests, waterways and living communities.


The zipline course does not take visitors across the temples themselves. It provides an outdoor forest experience within the wider Angkor park. Guests must respect all archaeological, environmental and community-protection rules while travelling to and from the activity.


What to Expect

Registration and Equipment Fitting

After arriving, participants register and complete the required liability documents.

A member of the team will provide and fit:

  • Safety helmet

  • Harness

  • Connecting equipment

  • Other protective equipment required for the course

Guests must provide accurate information about their health, height, weight and age.

Every participant should tell the staff immediately if the harness or helmet feels uncomfortable.


Safety Briefing

Before entering the course, trained Sky Rangers explain:

  • How the equipment works

  • Correct body position

  • When to move

  • Where to place hands

  • How to use the bridges

  • What to do at each platform

  • Emergency instructions

  • Prohibited behaviour

Listen carefully even if you have used a zipline before. Equipment and procedures can differ between operators.


Training and First Zipline

Participants normally begin with an introductory section where the guides check that everyone understands the instructions. The Sky Rangers handle the technical safety procedures while guests focus on maintaining the correct position and following commands.


Elevated Forest Course

The course moves between platforms constructed among tall trees.

Depending on the selected package, the experience may include:

  • Single ziplines

  • Double zipline

  • Longer “super” ziplines

  • Suspended sky bridges

  • Elevated platforms

  • Abseil descent

  • Guided nature trail

The number of course elements depends on whether you book the Silver or Gold programme.


Abseil Descent

The final section may include a controlled abseil descent from an elevated platform.

The guide controls the procedure and provides instructions. Guests should not handle technical equipment unless asked.


Guided Nature Walk

The official Silver and Gold packages include a guided nature-trail walk after the zipline experience. This provides an opportunity to slow down, observe the forest and learn about the surrounding environment. Wildlife sightings are possible but never guaranteed.

Angkor Pass Requirements

The relationship between the zipline activity and Angkor Pass is important.

You Normally Need an Angkor Pass If:

  • You arrange your own transportation to the zipline.

  • You enter Angkor Archaeological Park independently.

  • You combine ziplining with temple sightseeing.

  • You participate in a cycling programme.

  • You want to visit temples before or after the activity.

You May Not Need an Angkor Pass If:

  • Ziplining is your only activity inside Angkor Park.

  • You use transportation arranged directly by Angkor Zipline.

  • The special access arrangement is confirmed during booking.

Do not assume that any private tuk-tuk or hotel car qualifies. The transport must be arranged under the operator’s approved access procedure.

If you plan to visit Angkor Wat, Bayon, Ta Prohm or another ticketed temple on the same day, purchase an official Angkor Pass.

Current standard Angkor Pass prices are:

  • One-day pass: USD 37

  • Three-day pass: USD 62

  • Seven-day pass: USD 72

Buy passes through the official Angkor Enterprise website or authorised ticket office.


How to Get There

The easiest option is transportation prearranged with Angkor Zipline.

The Riverfront Central Hotel can help coordinate:

  • Direct pickup from the hotel

  • Tuk-tuk transportation

  • Private SUV

  • Group minivan

  • Zipline and temple combination tour

  • Pickup and return times

Allow approximately 30–45 minutes in each direction, depending on traffic, park access and the assigned route.

Arrive at the pickup point at least 10–15 minutes before departure. Late arrival may shorten the activity or result in a missed booking.

Weather and Seasonal Conditions

November to February

Generally cooler and comfortable, especially during morning sessions. A light sweater may be useful early in the day.


March to May

Conditions can become hot. Choose an early session, use sunscreen and drink sufficient water.


June to October

Rain can create a green and atmospheric forest experience. Bring a raincoat and wear shoes with good grip. Light rain may not automatically cancel the activity. Severe weather, strong wind or lightning can cause delays, course changes or cancellation.

The operator decides whether conditions are safe.


Cancellation and Booking Conditions

Advance booking is recommended, especially during weekends and the November-to-February high season. The operator’s public pages show different cancellation wording. One tour page mentions a full refund before 24 hours, while the general FAQ describes rescheduling rather than refunds.


Therefore, guests should obtain the cancellation conditions applying to their exact package in writing before payment.

Also confirm:

  • Booking date

  • Start time

  • Pickup point

  • Transportation

  • Angkor Pass requirement

  • Passenger names

  • Height and weight requirements

  • Weather policy

  • Refund or rescheduling terms

  • Bank transaction fees


Is Angkor Zipline Suitable for Children?

The operator recommends the experience for children aged five and older who meet the minimum height and harness requirements.

Parents should consider whether their child can:

  • Follow instructions

  • Climb stairs

  • Walk short forest trails

  • Remain calm at height

  • Wait safely on platforms

  • Wear a harness and helmet

  • Complete the entire course

A parent or legal guardian must sign the required waiver for participants under 18.

The Silver course is generally the better introduction for younger or less-confident guests.

  • Walk short distances independently

  • Climb steep stairs

  • Maintain balance

  • Fit safely into the harness

Do not hold loose phones or cameras while ziplining. Dropped objects can injure people below and may be impossible to recover.

Personal selfie sticks, loose straps and drones may be prohibited.
