01 / WHY GO
Understand the region.
The central highlands change the rhythm of a Sri Lanka trip: cooler air, tea-covered slopes, waterfalls, viewpoints and memorable road and rail journeys. Instead of treating Sri Lanka as one uniform destination, use the region to decide what kind of days you want, how quickly to travel and which nearby places make sense together.
