Dawn breaks over the moat and the silhouette of Angkor Wat sharpens against pink sky. Your private guide leads the way along causeways slick with early light, the temple’s reflection trembling with the breeze as vendors roll out the day’s first stalls. Over two days you move from the monumental calm of Angkor Wat to the maze-like Bayon, the root-clad stones of Ta Prohm, and the jungle-sprawled mystery of Beng Mealea — each change of scale a new rhythm underfoot.
