More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step from the van into heat that smells of dust and incense. Sunrise has left banded light across the reflecting pools at Angkor Wat; columns and bas-reliefs are cool under the shade of laterite galleries while tour groups thin like tidewater. The stones themselves hold fingerprints of centuries — carvings worn smooth by hands and monsoon.
