Angkor is considered the ‘must see’ destination of Cambodia. The silhouette of Angkor Wat itself is breath-taking at sunrise and sunset and the natural beauty of Ta Prohm makes it one of the best temples to explore in the area. The Khmer temples combine ancient architecture with nature as jungle has reclaimed stone over the centuries.

The Google giants have tried a bit of their hi-tech magic out on ancient Angkor, donned their camera backpacks and have created a magnificent Google Streetview version some of the sights. Pretty impressive 360 degree stuff.

If you think that the temples are pretty impressive to look at here, imagine what they are like when you are there! – Amazing!
