International EscapesSri Lanka Hills, Heritage & Coast
Seven days from Kandy and the tea hills to a relaxed southern coastal finish.
Kolkata → Colombo
Overview
Your holiday idea
Follow Sri Lanka from cultural Kandy into the tea-growing highlands, then leave time for the southern coast before returning towards Colombo. This six-night road idea balances changing landscapes with the reality of winding drives, giving each stop a purpose and keeping the final route open to your travel dates.
A suggested route
Kandy → Tea-hill area → Southern coast. The day-by-day plan below is a starting point and can be adjusted to your dates and pace.
Plan before you travel
Hill roads and inter-city transfers take time. Scenic rail seats, tea visits and coastal activities need separate availability checks; no famous train segment is guaranteed. Confirm current entry requirements and allow a realistic final airport transfer.
Your departure plan
This is an India-origin planning idea from Kolkata. Your departure city can be changed when we prepare the custom quote. Flights and onward travel are separate unless expressly included in your confirmation.
Make it yours
Share your dates, traveller ages, preferred stay style and budget with TripSarathi. We will prepare a custom quote. Accommodation, transport, meals, tickets and optional experiences are included only when expressly listed in your final written confirmation. Availability, final price and booking conditions must be confirmed before payment; an enquiry reserves no inventory.
