Angkor Wat map will present you with the best summary of Angkor Wat as well as its adjoining area. A graphic truly is worth the thousand words. Having the big picture in relation to temple locations may also provide you with a sense of direction when seeing the temples. Let's start with Angkor Wat by itself. Angkor Wat is situated in the northern part of the Cambodia, about 3.5 miles from the modern town of Siem Reap.
To the south of Angkor lies a huge lake called Tonle Sap, Angkor Wat could be easily reached by bus, private cars or taxis and even motorbikes, which are generally organized by the guesthouses or hotels in the town. Siem Reap has a small airport, which is linked with many South East Asian countries. Cars, motorbikes, tuk tuk, bicycles are available for moving around the Angkor complex.
Angkor Wat entry gates and buildings.
And here is the center temple area. The most significant ones to see are the awesome eight bas relief galleries, central towers, and also the Gallery of 1,000 Buddhas. One of the best points about these reliefs is that they are so precise and very well maintained. They are not exhausted along with age (not really!), and they have not faded or chipped away. They are still there, in surprisingly great condition, for everyone to watch. And here you will see the Angkor Thom, the Barays (reservoir), along with the Rolous group temples which was once the capital of the Khmer empire.
Special Attractions
The wonderful Khmer architecture of Angkor Wat is really a key attraction for the tourist. This site grants tourists a deep understanding of a brief history of Khmer Empire; the pictures of the rulers of Khmer and scenes of their life, the battles they fought, all are etched to the walls of the temple. The elegance and wonderful thing about the temple speaks volumes regarding the luxury and wonders of the Khmer Empire. Near the Angora Wat, there are more powerful temples like Angkor Thom. Many visitors visit Angkor to have enjoyment from the tranquility of nature within the forested environment.
