Sigiriya tickets at 6:30 — Heat Bulletin 01 is NC, so pre-dawn climb or pay a later slot we do not have
Dambulla room. Alarm set for 5. Heat Bulletin 01 Caution includes North-Central and holds 2 Sep. Hotel desk says 'go anyway, just early'. A tour group is selling a 10am 'cooler' slot that looks invented. 1 Sep Tuesday.

Early is the whole trick. Caution in NC is midday stone. 6:30 gate, hat, water, down before the cook. There is no official later slot I will invent, and no live Horton-style time-slot URL for Sigiriya either. Desk 'cooler slot' is a desk. If the elder cannot do stairs in heat, skip the rock and do the museum and a short garden walk. Pride on Lion's Paw at noon is a clinic.
We climbed at opening last April. Down by 9. Fine. 11am crowd looked cooked.
Cover shoulders if you also do Dambulla cave the same morning. Separate modest set in the bag.
