You step from a shaded tuk‑tuk into a courtyard where stone faces watch the morning light. Roots have wrapped themselves around Ta Prohm like a hands-off reminder of time, and the broad causeways of Angkor Thom carry the hush of centuries. Over two days you move through sandstone chambers, climb temple-mountains, and stand where rivers of pilgrims once flowed.
