Sri Lanka is a compact island where ancient cities, leopard country, tea hills and two coastlines sit a few hours apart. A ten-day trip can take in the rock fortress at Sigiriya, a safari in Yala, the Kandy to Ella train and a beach on the south coast without a single flight.



Six routes we plan most often. Each one is a starting point, not a fixed package.
