The seasonal read
This month, east-coast high season builds: surf at Arugam Bay, snorkelling at Pigeon Island, long dry days.
A misty high-altitude plateau and national park; a 9km loop leads to World’s End, a sheer 870m escarpment, and the delicate Baker’s Falls. Go at dawn before the cloud rolls in.
Getting there: 1.5 hrs from Nuwara Eliya; via Ohiya by train + tuk-tuk.
