Sri Lanka
Experiences
From leopard safaris and ancient temples to beach escapes, hill-country hikes and Ayurvedic retreats – build your journey around what you love most.
Nature
Sri Lanka's interior is a landscape of extraordinary natural beauty. The Hill Country rolls across central Sri Lanka 1,500 to 2,500 metres above sea level carpeted in tea estates and punctuated by waterfalls, mountain streams and cloud forests. The train ride from Kandy to Ella is considered one of the world's most scenic rail journeys.
Sinharaja Biosphere Reserve is a lowland rainforest that has been continuously forested since prehistoric times. Over a third of Sri Lanka's endemic tree species and 50% of its endemic mammals call it home. Whether you want to walk a tea factory, chase a waterfall or simply breathe mountain air, Sri Lanka's nature rewards slow travel.
