Sri Lanka, land of rolling tea plantations, wild cinnamon groves, heaps of elephants and amazing surf breaks. And really incredible food. Chow on curry everywhere you go, check out where Buddha's tooth is said to live in Kandy, spot elephants and leopards in Yala and have a whale of a time at the beach in Unawatuna.

Practice sticking out your little finger and delicately holding a teacup with your thumb and forefinger. Why? To prep for a delicious cuppa in the tea-heartland of Kandy.
Go on safari in search of leopards and elephants in Yala National Park.
Three days (and nights) on Unawatuna's golden beach can cure almost all of life’s problems.
