The Kandy-Ella rail route through tea country is one of the world's best scenic journeys and a favourite for Australian travellers.

Sri Lanka can deliver premium hotels and rich experiences at a lower total holiday spend than many long-haul alternatives.
Strong AU dollar value
UNESCO sites such as Sigiriya, Polonnaruwa, and Kandy make Sri Lanka perfect for travellers wanting history with depth.
UNESCO highlights
From Mirissa to Tangalle, you can enjoy beach time with a more relaxed feel than many busy regional hotspots.
