Cambodia: Angkor Temples On Google Street View

Angkor's temples have been added to Google Street View using more than 90,000 stunning new panoramic images.

The world heritage site in Cambodia contains the remains of the different capitals of the Khmer Empire, from the 9th to the 15th century.

The iconic sites can now be virtually explored from anywhere in the world, after the Google team took its cameras off-road.

Manik Gupta, from Google Maps, said: "The temples at Angkor each have a unique story - whether it's the way they were built, the ancient Khmer cities they sit on, or the artwork they contain.

"To give you the most complete picture, our team used all the tools available to us: Street View cars, Trekkers and tripods to carefully photograph the exteriors and interiors of Angkor's temples as they stand today."

He added: "We hope this new imagery will not only let people experience the scale and beauty of Angkor wherever they are, but also demonstrate how technology can change the way cultural treasures are preserved for generations to come."

Angkor joins a series of off-road sites captured by Google, including the Taj Mahal, Mount Everest and the Great Barrier Reef.
