Passikudah

The pristine shore of Passikudah on the East coast of Sri Lanka is fast becoming the ultimate destination for those who prefer to escape to an isolated beach – with nothing but miles and miles of pure white sands and days of sheer idleness.

Pidurutalagala is the tallest mountain in Sri Lanka. Also known as Mount Pedro, Pidurutalagala is located in close proximity to the town of Nuwara Eliya. Positioned in the heart of the Central Province it is considered a haven for trekkers. The scenic beauty which greets those who are brave enough to venture up this fabulous peak is indescribable. However, the journey entails trekking through dense jungles and across streams, all with the constant risk of coming under heavy mist cover. Thus, trekking here is certainly not for the faint hearted. The area is home to many endemic plants, birds and animals, including rare botanical life. The peak is considered a High Security Zone and for many years has been home to a large military base, so it is best to make enquiries prior to planning an adventure in the area.
