| WELCOME |
Away from the coast, Sri Lanka's real charm and interest becomes apparent. The beaches of Sri Lanka are glorious, but combining them with a few days or longer inland makes this a really special destination. Highlights include the Pinnawella elephant orphanage, Sigiriya Rock Fortress and the stunning scenery of the hill stations. |

| WHAT
TO DO |
Sri
Lanka's interior breaks down in to three main areas - historical,
cultural and scenic. The historical areas focus around stunning
Sigiriya Rock Fortress and the ancient city of Polonnaruwa.
Kandy is the heart of Cultural Sri Lanka, home to the famed
Temple of the Tooth, while Nuwara Eilya is Sri Lanka's best
known hill resort and a great base for scenic exploring. Don't
forget to visit the wonderful Pinnawella Elephant Orphanage
too! |
| WHERE
TO STAY |
Inland Sri Lanka has a good range of hotel options, in all the main locations of interest. Hotels around Sigiriya are ideal for exploring the history of the North including Sigiriya Rock itself, the temples at Dambulla and the ancient cities of Sri Lanka. Kandy hotels are ideal for exploring this cultural gem as well as wonderful Pinnawella elephant orphanage, while hotels in the hills around Nuwara Eliya are ideal for exploring Sri Lanka's wilder side. |
