River baths, meals in clay pots, endless strolls through fruit orchards, music courtesy of birds and insects and evening entertainment by hordes of fireflies.
For those who want to get away from it all, this holiday is just what you need. Spend 2 weeks in Sri Lanka off the beaten track enjoying the sights, sounds and ambience that many who visit do not see. Rest, Relax and Rejuvenate.
