- ALynne· February 19th, 2023From beaches to mountains, temples to wildlife, trains to bus to boat., walks and hikes (but sooooooooo many steps) There were so many highlights, my favourite day had to be day 11 when we had mountain drives, waterfalls where we interacted with a local school group,, the iconic Ella temple carvings followed by the elephant transit home where we saw the babies and juveniles feeding and an afternoon game drive. Topped off with our night 'camping'.Show moreTrip date: January 2023Review collected by Explore!

Other highlights were Adams Peak - a brutal walk, but such a great feeling of pride that we reached the top and back. The second Jeep Safari where we saw loads of Elephants. The upgrade of the Hotel in Kandy. Tour Leader getting us samosa's for the train journey.Show moreTrip date: February 2023Review collected by Explore!
