The day opens with a low, humid light over a stone horizon—lanes of palms and paddy fields funnel you toward a skyline of towers. On arrival, the guide slips a ticket into your hand and the enormous gallery of Angkor Wat unfolds: the central temple rises like a carved mountain, bas-reliefs marching along its walls.
