8 days in central Sri Lanka

Country forums / Indian Subcontinent / Sri Lanka

Colombo - Dambulla/Sigiriya -kandy -Adams peak( Dailhouse is base) - Nuwara eliya -Ella -yala will be good..

you will need to hire a car with driver for this route as your time is bit limited..mainly is it 8 dyas or 8 nights????? if you can give arriving date/time and departinmg date/time will be easy to give you a details itinerary

To visit Adam's Peak and Horton Plains, Nuwara Eliya is the better base.
