If your idea of sightseeing usually involves a car, a dusty selfie stick, and way too many “are we there yet?” moments, it’s time to rethink things.
Sri Lanka’s Hill Country is about to get a serious upgrade in the “sit back and pretend your life is always this scenic” department.
It just sits there above the mirror-still waters of the Kandalama Reservoir, looking calm, confident and mildly unimpressed by the rest of the Sri Lankan hotel scene.
It’s 5am and my alarm loudly pierces the darkness of my tent.
