Sri Lanka: Colombo, Kandy og Galle på 9 dager

Sri Lanka

Oversikt

This route runs Sri Lanka's classic diagonal: a short stop in Colombo, then up into the hill country around Kandy for temples, tea estates and cooler air, before dropping to the south coast's Dutch colonial fort town of Galle to finish with beach time. The scenic train between hill-country towns is one of the trip's highlights on its own.
