Sri Lanka Ayurveda: From Ancient Healing to the Legacy of G. P. Wickramarachchi

Ayurveda in Sri Lanka is far older and deeper than the treatment menu at a beach resort. This is the story of how the island's indigenous healing knowledge travelled from village physicians to a rural college founded in 1929, and finally to a national university of indigenous medicine.

Ella to Mirissa: The Attractions Everyone Drives Past

Almost every Sri Lanka itinerary runs Ella to the south coast with a single safari in the middle and four hours of car window either side.

Ella is a destination. Haputale is a gateway. One ridge west of Sri Lanka's most photographed hill town sits a quieter railway village with colonial bones, a viewpoint at nearly 2,000 metres, a Benedictine monastery in a Tudor house, and road access to some of the island's most demanding mountain routes.
