Google has added panoramic imagery of Cambodia's famous Angkor Wat temples to its Google Street View service.

Angkor Wat, literally meaning "Temple City" in Khmer, is a network of more than 100 temples spanning across an area of 400 square kilometers. It is considered to be the largest temple complex in the world.

You can start your exploring here; highlights include the Bayon Temple and Ramayana’s Battle of Lanka bas relief carvings.

All in all, 90,000 new panoramic images of Angkor Wat were taken. To capture the imagery, Google used Street View cars, Trekkers and tripods, says Group Product Manager at Google Maps Manik Gupta.

More information about Angkor, including images, renderings and videos, can be found through the Google Cultural Institute.
