Thank you, Leigh, for your wonderful trip report. I am in the very early stages of planning for a possible trip to Sri Lanka at the end of the this year, and your report has given a load of insights.

I am also planning a trip to Sri Lanka this year and have really enjoyed your report. It really helps to read about your experiences, so thank you. If we only have time for 2 spots other than Colombo, where would you recommend we go?

Hi kuluk,
I would recommend spending some time in the cultural triangle area. Habarana worked very well for us, giving easy access to many of the main 'must sees'.
I would also recommend that you spend some time visiting the tea country.
Others may disagree, but I wouldn't allocate much time to Colombo.
