Pre-dawn fog eases over the moat as you step from the vehicle and move toward Angkor Wat; the first light slides across stone bas-reliefs and the long reflection in the west baray. Over three days this private tour stages the classics — a sunrise at Angkor Wat, the carved faces of Bayon, tomb‑like corridors of Ta Prohm — and then pivots to Phnom Kulen, where a river of carved Shiva lingas and a plunge waterfall cut through jungle rock.
