The day opens on a slow swell of green—tea terraces climbing cool slopes, palms fanning lowland air, and the ocean glittering south of the road. On this private five-day loop you move at a couple’s pace: a scenic train through highland mist, a short hike above Ella’s Nine Arch Bridge, a sunset on a southern beach, and soft-footed mornings beside elephants and hatchling turtles.
