The hill country is a world away from the rest of the magnificent island of Sri Lanka, where the mist slowly part to reveal the tangled green mountains which rise from every quarter, emerald carpets of tea plants, and mountain forests clinging to serrated ranges bookended by waterfalls. Sri Lanka’s hill country is a place where you can wear a fleece in the daytime and cuddle up beside a log fire in the evening. A region where you can walk to the end of the world, stand in the footsteps of the Buddha, paddle a raft down a raging river, enjoy the drumbeat of traditional dance and be surrounded by a hundred wild elephants.
