Honeymoon

After a night outside of Colombo, head into the Cultural Triangle traditionally referred to as Rajarata, or ‘The King’s Land’, the region where great Sinhalese civilisations once flourished. Explore immense remains, vast stupas and ascend the stairs at Sigiriya, the iconic Lion Rock.

Then you’ll continue to the city of Kandy, which marks the Triangle’s southern corner, the country’s spiritual capital, where you’ll visit the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic.

You’ll then spend two nights among the combed green plantations of the aptly named Tea Country, learning about this vital crop before venturing to the south-eastern corner of the country for some safari adventures across the Yala National Park, searching for leopard and herds of elephant.
