Overview
Sri Lanka brings ancient sites, hill-country scenery and the coast into a rewarding privately guided route. The choice of stays helps each chapter feel distinct: a garden base for touring, a tea-country house or a coastal villa for the finale.
Pace is as important as the route. Allow time at each base and decide which experiences deserve a guided day, so the holiday feels like a sequence of discoveries rather than a succession of transfers.
