Ceylon signature escape
Six nights from the tea hills to Galle Fort and a Colombo send-off, with the Nanu Oya to Ella train when the railway has seats.
Nuwara Eliya, Ella, Galle, Colombo
On this route
- Two nights in Nuwara Eliya, with dinner on those nights
- One night in Ella after the hill train
- Two nights in Galle, including a fort walk
- A Colombo night and a visit to Gangaramaya
- Horton Plains, subject to the park and the weather
- Little Adam’s Peak when the train arrives in time
This is the premium week we publish as the Ceylon signature escape. The shape is two nights up in Nuwara Eliya, one night in Ella, two nights inside easy reach of Galle Fort, and a final night in Colombo before the flight.
The train from Nanu Oya to Ella is the hinge of the trip. Tickets depend on Sri Lanka Railways, and the Little Adam’s Peak walk depends on when that train actually arrives. If the seats are not there, the car still makes the same journey and we say so before you pay.
Use the week as a sample. We lengthen the fort, drop Colombo, or swap a hotel as soon as we know your dates. Nothing is held until the confirmation is in writing.
