Sri Lanka

Kandy–Ella Scenic TrainSigiriya & DambullaYala or Wilpattu

Sri Lanka in 2026 is firmly back on Indian wishlists: tea-covered hills, leopard-rich national parks, and relaxed surf towns all within a compact island. It's a favourite for one-week loops that feel diverse but not rushed. A hidden gem locals love is the Knuckles Mountain Range and the quieter villages around Ella, where homestays open onto misty trails.
