You step out of the airport into warm, humid air and the low skyline of palms and tiled roofs—Sri Lanka arrives before you do. The first morning’s drive unspools past flooded paddy fields and the occasional white stupa, and then, as if cued, Geoffrey Bawa’s low-slung forms begin to appear: open verandas, water courts, roofs that breathe with the island’s climate. This seven-day loop—Colombo, Sigiriya, Kandy, Nuwara Eliya, Bentota—reads like an atlas of Bawa’s influence and a primer on how landscape and architecture negotiate each other in Sri Lanka.
