For natural abundance and sheer variety of landscape and culture, few places on earth can rival Sri Lanka. This exceptional itinerary includes the chance to make educational visits to many of Sri Lanka's historical and archaeological highlights, such as the natural rock fortress of Sigiriya and the former capital of Kandy. It also features a selection of day-hikes; in the Knuckles Range, on the Horton Plains and on sacred Adam's Peak (2243m / 7402ft), where a midnight start allows us to experience sunrise at the summit. As a fitting end tothis fantastically varied adventure, we have a day at the relaxed coastal resort of Marawila, north of Colombo.
Educational perspective
Tea plantations are a distinctive element of the landscape in Sri Lanka's highlands. Introduced by the British in the mid 19th century, 'Ceylon Tea' remains an important cash crop.
Amend or Extend
Allow more time for project work, or include a day's whitewater rafting on the Kelani River, at the place where Bridge on the River Kwai was filmed.
