Sri Lanka in Full
A fortnight from the ancient capitals to the southern sea
The complete circuit, taken at a pace that leaves room in it: the Cultural Triangle, Kandy, the hill country by train, the southern parks and the coast. Fourteen days is the length at which Sri Lanka stops feeling like a checklist.
