Angkor Wat: Stone, Sunrise, and Stillness

Arriving at Angkor Wat before dawn feels like joining a quiet pilgrimage. As the sky lightens, the towers emerge from the dark—reflected perfectly in the lotus-filled pools. It’s one of the most iconic sunrises in the world, and for good reason.

But Angkor is more than just one temple. It’s an ancient city carved from stone, rich with symbolism and stunning in scale. The carvings along the galleries tell stories of gods, battles, and beliefs that shaped a civilisation. Walk through its corridors and you'll feel the weight of centuries under your feet.

Despite the crowds, there are still quiet corners. A shadowed courtyard. A crumbling wall warmed by the sun. Moments where time seems to pause.

Angkor Wat is awe-inspiring—not just for its size, but for the sense of something enduring, sacred, and deeply human.
