Dawn arrives over Angkor Wat like a slow exhale: the reflecting moat turns to a sheet of copper and gold as the towers silhouette against a waking sky. On a private two-day circuit from Siem Reap you move through carved galleries and tree-clad ruins, the stones themselves holding the weight of centuries.
