Sri Lanka’s full of surprises — the first being that it’s actually smaller than Ireland. The second is that it packs in so much in such modest dimensions. Safari, beach, culture — this is the island where you can dip in and out of each at whatever pace you choose. Its leopard count sits at around 700, temples number in the hundreds and you’ll lose count of the surf-ready stretches once you hit the south coast. Give yourself at least two weeks to see it all, with expert itineraries on Sri Lanka covering some of the biggest hitters. It still won’t be enough, of course.
