Ancient capitals, highlands, wildlife and the south coast with room to slow down.
The experience
Best for travelers who want a fuller cultural route than the eight-day Signature journey. The extra time adds Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa, keeps a slower day in Kandy, and still includes tea country, Ella, Yala and the southern coast.
