Angkor Map

An Angkor map will give you the quickest overview of Angkor Wat and its surrounding area. A picture truly does worth a thousand words. Knowing the big picture in regards to temple location will also give you a sense of direction when visiting the temples. And that, is not a bad thing at all.

Let us start with the Angkor Wat itself. This is the Angkor Wat temple, with the moat surrounding it.

And this is the center temple area. Most important ones to see are the amazing eight bas relief galleries, central towers, and the Gallery of 1000 Buddhas.

And here you can see the Angkor Thom, the Barays (reservoir), and Rolous group temples. Rolous was once the capital of the Khmer empire.

An aerial map really gives you a sense of scale of the temples. Who knew that the large Angkor Wat is 'small' if compared to the others? While the hilltop Phnom Bakheng temple and the 216 Bayon's Buddha faces are within Angkor Thom, Ta Prohm temple and its giant trees are located outside the walls of Angkor Thom.

The beautiful Banteay Srei temple and the Beng Melea jungle temple are off the map. These amazing temples are farther away from the more popular and easily accessible temple clusters. But please do go out of your way to visit these temples, because they are so worth it.
