Dawn arrives over the moat and reflection pools, and the silhouette of Angkor Wat sharpens against a sky cooling from night. Guests step from a private, air-conditioned vehicle and move through carved corridors where stone faces watch the light change; elsewhere the jungle edges closer, roots threading through lintels and sandstone like slow hands reclaiming what was once built.
