Hill country

Into the hills, at a slower pace

Tea gardens, railway journeys and room to slow down: another side of Sri Lanka.

Into the hills, at a slower pace

Follow the landscape

The journey into Sri Lanka’s central hills changes the rhythm of a holiday. Lowland warmth gives way to a landscape of tea gardens, winding roads and mountain towns. Kandy and Nuwara Eliya feature in both Classic Ceylon and Sargia Signature, giving travellers a different perspective on the island.

Leave time for the journey

A hill-country railway journey is part of both published itineraries. Train arrangements depend on railway operations and seat availability, so treat the experience as part of the wider landscape rather than the only reason to visit. There is plenty to discover on either side of the train ride.

Choose your pace

Classic Ceylon brings together Sri Lanka’s essential sights over ten days. Sargia Signature allows sixteen days for a more unhurried introduction. Both travel with no more than six guests. Tell the planning team whether you prefer a full day of discovery or more time to linger, and they can help you choose a suitable journey.
