You step off the plane into humid air that smells faintly of spice and sea — and within an hour you can be winding through paddy fields toward a 200‑meter slab of rock that has watched kingdoms rise and fall. This eight‑day loop threads Sri Lanka’s central highlands and southern coast into a compact taste of the island: Sigiriya’s lion rock and frescoes, the carved chambers of Dambulla, the tea gardens of Nuwara Eliya, a scenic mountain train to Ella, leopards in Yala, and the mellow surf and whale‑watching out of Mirissa.
