You step off the plane into warm, slightly sweet air and your guide is there with a paging board—an organized beginning to chaos that is quickly made simple. Over the next eleven days you move through Sri Lanka like a practiced reader flips pages: ancient capitals in the north, mist-shrouded tea hills in the center, surging rivers that dare you to take a raft, and finally the slow rhythm of the southern shoreline where waves set the pace.

Respect temple etiquette
Carry a scarf or long shirt to cover shoulders and remove shoes when entering Buddhist shrines.
Lightweight hiking shoes
Stable soles and ankle support are useful on rocky climbs and tea estate trails.
