Sri Lanka itinerary templates
Compare 2 routes in Sri Lanka before choosing your base plan. A shorter route covers a few highlights; a longer one leaves room for more neighbourhoods and breaks. Check the actual stops rather than choosing on day count alone, and remember to add travel time between cities if you combine routes.
