A little closer to Sri Lanka

Follow the island’s rhythm. Take the scenic way.

From Colombo’s lively streets to Sigiriya, Kandy and the misty tea hills, this is Sri Lanka with the windows open. Drive tuk-tuks through part of the route, meet local makers, board the scenic train to Ella and finish beside the lagoon in Negombo.
