You step off the airport car and the air shifts—humid coastal breath at first, then cooler tea-country whispers as the vehicle climbs toward Nuwara Eliya. Over four days this private tour threads Sri Lanka's southern coast, sacred plains and misted highlands, following sites tied to the Ramayana epic: cliffs where legends say Hanuman once landed, a waterfall hiding a cave of myth, and the small temples that local devotees revere.
