About this trip

The short version: enough of the island to feel you have seen it, without spending the week in a car. Two nights in Kandy, one at Bentota, and the drive between them broken by the Madu River.

If you have the time, the five-night version below adds the tea country, the hill railway and Mirissa.

Cancellation: no charge more than 30 days before arrival; 50 per cent from 30 to 21 days; 100 per cent inside 21 days.
