Highlands Discovery
Nine days through the entire arc of Sri Lanka's central highlands.
This is our most complete hill country journey — Kandy's sacred sites, the colonial-era town of Nuwara Eliya, the windswept moors of Horton Plains, the tea estates of Bogawantalawa and the photo-perfect viewpoints of Ella. Every stay is in a heritage property.
You travel by private car, with the iconic Hatton–Ella train as a midpoint, and walk a different landscape every day — tea estates, mist forests, ridge-walks above the clouds.
