Dawn light slides across the moat and the five towers of Angkor Wat throw long, slow shadows as the first tour groups advance along the causeway. On a private three-day tour the pace loosens: you move from polished bas‑reliefs into tangled roots at Ta Prohm, and from the formal axes of Angkor Thom to the collapsed corridors of Beng Mealea where the jungle seems to be rewriting the architecture.
