- When to goThe south and west coasts are at their best from December to April, the east coast from May to September — so there is a good beach somewhere all year.
- How longTen to fourteen days lets most first-time visitors combine the Cultural Triangle, the hill country, a wildlife safari and a few days on the beach.
- Getting aroundA private car with a driver is the most comfortable way to travel, and the hill-country train between Kandy and Ella is one of the island's great scenic rides.
