7 Days / 6 Nights
Cloud forest railways, planters’ bungalows and leopard country.
Overview
Begin in Kandy and rise into the heart of Ceylon tea, where colonial bungalows sit among manicured estates and mist drifts through eucalyptus. The legendary hill country railway carries you to Ella, a village of waterfalls and viewpoints.
From the highlands you descend to Yala for private leopard safaris, before ending on the quiet beaches of Tangalle in a villa above the waves.
