No Experience Required

You arrive at Bandaranaike International Airport as dusk softens the city; humid air and a chorus of tuk-tuk horns welcome you. A driver in a private vehicle folds open a water bottle and points the road north toward the rock that will define the week: Sigiriya. Over seven days this loop unspools—colonial Colombo’s seaside promenades, a jungle-held fortress, hill-country temples, spice gardens that smell of cinnamon and pepper, and the lazy swell of Bentota’s beaches.
