Before dawn the temple silhouette is a cutout against a slowly bleaching sky—spires puncture the horizon and the reflecting moat trembles with first light. On this full-day tour you watch Angkor Wat wake, then move through the day’s cooler hours to explore the stone-carved stories of Bayon, the tree-entwined corridors of Ta Prohm and the pink sandstone detail of Banteay Srei.
