Dawn light spills across the wide moat and the silhouette of Angkor Wat sharpens against a humid Cambodian sky. You step from the shaded causeway into sandstone galleries where carved deities keep a slow watch; the air smells of dust, sweat and frangipani. Over four days a private guide leads you through the great monuments, from the carved faces of Bayon to the root-choked corridors of Ta Prohm, and out along quiet rural roads to the pink sandstone detail of Banteay Srei and the jungle-clotted enormity of Beng Mealea.
