About this trip

The five-night version adds the part most people regret missing: the tea country, the train down to Ella, and the south coast at Mirissa rather than a single night on the beach.

The railway leg from Nanu Oya to Ella is optional — take it, and the car meets you at the other end.

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