More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the plane into warm Colombo air and a driver in an air‑conditioned car slides the door open; the island begins to reveal itself in tea-scented breath and roadside temples. Over six days this halal-friendly circuit moves from lowland coasts and historic Colombo into the rolling, misted highlands where tea terraces push the horizon into waves and waterfalls hurl themselves down old volcanic ridges.
