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. The stretch in between — Sri Lanka's driest, strangest corner — holds a 300-acre botanic garden, a drive-through safari park, hot springs and a red plateau found nowhere else on the island.

Ella is a destination. Haputale is a gateway.
