You step out of Bandaranaike International Airport into a humid, green air that seems to push you forward. The driver waits with a nametag, the van’s A/C already humming; in a few hours you’ll be climbing a 500-foot granite island that rises like an island in a plain — Sigiriya — and later trading the cool of tea country for the salt-sweet tang of the southern coast. This is not a single-trail hike but a stitched sequence of landscapes: dry plains, ruined royal cities, mist-clad tea estates, and tropical shoreline. The tour moves deliberately so you meet Sri Lanka on its own terms.
