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

After arriving, participants register and complete the required liability documents.
A member of the team will provide and fit:

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.

The operator decides whether conditions are safe.
