Colombo & Galle

Sri Lanka

A 7-day trip to Colombo & Galle

Sri Lanka is an island in one trip — tea hills, leopard safaris, Galle's fort, and a beach on every coast.

Sri Lanka packs an island into a fortnight — Colombo the capital, the tea-country hill town of Ella, leopard safaris at Yala, the Galle Dutch fort, and beaches from Mirissa to Trincomalee. Take the train to Ella for one of the world's great rail journeys. Go in the dry seasons; the monsoons split by coast.
