You arrive before dawn, the air already warm, and the Angkor causeway sits like an ancient runway cutting through shadow and lotus. The first day unfolds in stone: Angkor Wat’s vast galleries, the carved faces of Bayon, the steep tiers of Baphuon and the root-entangled corridors of Ta Prohm where trees push through bas-relief and demand attention.
