4 Nights 5 Days Sri Lanka Highlands

A Y U B O W… as the Sri Lankan Greetings says, May you enjoy the gift of long life. As you journey through the lush foliage of the country side, the mountains full of tea gardens, the patchwork quilt like rich paddies, the wholesome village life, the never ending stretches of coconut fringed beaches, the exquisite underwater coral scapes, cascading waterfalls, colorful festivals and pageantry, magnificent ancient cities, nearly half as old as time, the flowers in all their glory… nature’s bounty in such abundance!!
