Hill country and Beach holiday

11 days & 10 nights

Occupying the island’s southern heartlands, the sublime green heights of the hill country are a world away from the sweltering coastal lowlands – indeed nothing encapsulates the scenic diversity of Sri Lanka as much as the short journey by road or rail from the humid urban melee of Colombo to the cool altitudes of Kandy and Ella. The landscape here is a beguiling mixture of nature and nurture. In places the mountainous green hills rise to surprisingly rugged and dramatic peaks; in others, the slopes are covered in carefully manicured tea gardens whose neatly trimmed lines of bushes add a toy-like quality to the landscape, while the mist and clouds which frequently blanket the hills add a further layer of mystery.

The tear drop shaped island of Sri Lanka lies in the Indian Ocean just off the southern tip of India and is blessed with over 100 miles of coastline. With its golden sandy beaches, azure blue waters and warm tropical climate, Sri Lanka is a year-round destination for holidaymakers seeking sun, sand and sea. Many of the islands top resorts are located along pristine beach fronts and from stunning oceanic viewpoints providing luxurious retreats with amazing settings.Below holiday will supply ypu both greenary and sunshine.
