You enter the Angkor grounds through a humid morning that smells faintly of dust and frangipani, the air moving across carved sandstone faces as your guide leads you toward Angkor Wat. The day unfolds through corridors of bas-relief, strangler figs at Ta Prohm that still pry apart stone, and the compact, maze-like galleries of Bayon with its 12th-century smiling faces. The finale is Bakheng’s ridge at dusk—an unpaved climb rewarded with a horizon of temple spires against a burning sky.
