Tips

If you need to extend the trip, add a day in Ella for a sunrise hike up Little Adam’s Peak or a day at the southern beach town of Mirissa for whale‑watching. To shorten the itinerary, skip the Nuwara Eliya leg and head directly from Kandy to Galle, saving travel time while still enjoying the cultural highlights.
