Highland Glory from Kandy (2 Days)

About this experience

Board your private vehicle in Kandy and head into Sri Lanka's hill country, where rolling tea estates and evergreen valleys line the road south. Your English-speaking chauffeur guide stops at Ramboda Falls — a dramatic cascade tumbling through the misty highlands — before continuing to Nuwara Eliya, the colonial-era town the British nicknamed "Little England". Spend your one night here amid cool mountain air and plantation-era architecture.

On day two, rise early for Horton Plains National Park, where you trek to World's End — a sheer escarpment that drops thousands of metres and stretches the view across much of Sri Lanka on a clear morning. Transport, fuel, parking, highway tolls, your chauffeur guide, taxes, and two 500 ml water bottles per person per day are all covered. Hotel accommodation, meals, and park entrance fees are arranged separately.
