Elder will do one. Kid will do one. Photos of both are in every group chat. 23 Aug, inland heat, leftover humidity from the south. Water in the daypack.

Pidurangala if you want a view of the rock without the full ticket and the full heat. Sigiriya if the frescoes and the paws are the point. One climb. Start early. Water zipped. I will not invent a 23 Aug closure or a skip-the-line cousin. Tickets from the desk.

We did Pidurangala at 6:30, looked at Sigiriya, sat breakfast. Fine. Elder still speaking to us.

Kids: one climb. Pride does both and owns a melt at the mirror wall.

Hats, electrolytes. Inland August is not a hill breeze.

If the elder is shaky, skip both and do Dambulla cave with cover. Steps, but shade.
