Most Remote Cultural WHS

Cultural WHS that can only be reached on a very long day trip (4h or more one way, or even an overnight) from a hub. A hub is a city with decent hotels and daily commercial flights/buses to a city with an international airport. See also this blog post for background.

Bikini Atoll hub Majuro, 3 days sailing from there
Cultural Landscape of Kenozero Lake hub Arkhangelsk and still a 470 km ride by rail/car
Dholavira: A Harappan City hub Bhuj, about 4h by car
Great Burkhan Khaldun Mountain hub Ulaan Bator, needs spending the night at a ger camp nearby
Khinalig About 4 hours from Baku City Center (taking the many speed traps and difficult terrain into account)
Mbanza Kongo 6 hours by car from Luanda
Minaret of Jam hub Herat or Bamyan, both taking some 13 hours to reach
Petroglyphs of the Lake Onega and the White Sea hub Petrozavodsk, “then 370 km by rented car via surprisingly good road to Belomorsk.”
Petroglyphs of the Mongolian Altai The hub seems to be Ölgi (with a domestic airport and 35,000 inhabitants). You’d have to stay overnight camping somewhere closer to the petroglyphs
Rudreshwara (Ramappa) Temple hub Hyderabad, 4h by car
SGang Gwaay hub Vancouver, requires a flight to Sandspit and at least taking part in a 2-day boat tour to get to the right island
Serra da Capivara There's a minor hub at Sao Raimundo Nonato with hotels, but its airport is not in operation and a real city is a 5h drive away
Sukur Abuja airport is 14 hours away
The Royal Court of Tiébélé hub Ouagadougou, full day trip (~4 hours each way)
Tsodilo There's a minor hub at Shakawe, 40km away. But Shakawe itself requires a 6h ride on a basic bus to get to Maun.
Twyfelfontein About 6h drive from Windhoek
