Sri Lanka — Tea to Sea
Sigiriya's Lion Rock, the train to Ella through tea country, leopards at Yala, and a Galle finale.
Sri Lanka packs an extraordinary range into one short flight — tea-country trains, leopards in Yala, the rock fortress of Sigiriya, and the southern coast's surf-and-fort towns.
4 carefully chosen destinations within Sri Lanka — each a chapter we can build a journey around.
The Dutch-walled fort of Galle, Mirissa's whale-watching, and the surf coast from Weligama to Tangalle.
