Tour package
Honeymoon: Kandy, tea country and Mirissa
The longer honeymoon: the hill railway, Ella, and two nights on the south coast at Mirissa.
Tour summary
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.
