Temples and tea
A journey across the Teardrop Isle, as it’s casually known, should really include Kandy, home to the celebrated Temple of the Sacred Tooth (ශ්රී දළදා මාළිගාව). Then, move on to tea country by train and enter a captivating landscape of undulating hills cloaked in lush tea plantations freckled with brightly-clad pickers.
Further off the beaten track is Living Heritage Koslanda. A hideaway designed around traditional Sri Lankan architecture in God’s Forest, a 32-hectare area of jungle walking trails and a glorious waterfall. In the Koslanda grounds, enjoy a sundowner at the pool overlooking paddy fields, and a moonlit outdoor shower.
