Synopsis

Experience a vivid travel memoir of Ceylon’s landscapes, people, and ancient traditions across a sweeping circuit from Colombo to the island’s far east.
This second volume follows a journey that blends natural beauty with cultural insight. From sunlit river scenes and leafy rest-houses to dramatic mountain views near Adam’s Peak, the author guides you through a land of emerald greens, spice-scented air, and bustling market life. Expect detailed observations of flora and fauna, colorful native dress, and the rhythms of local festivals, such as the Perehera, intertwined with practical travel notes about inns, routes, and the practicalities of touring a tropical island.

• Vivid vignettes of Sri Lanka’s rivers, forests, and hill country, framed by sketching and photography-minded travel.


• Colorful depictions of rest-houses, local food, and the practicalities of moving through remote districts.


• Accounts of gems, pilgrimage sites, and traditional ceremonies that reveal both beauty and history.


• Observations on wildlife, birds, and the everyday life of coastal and inland communities.

Ideal for readers who enjoy travel writing with a strong sense of place, local color, and a curious eye for customs and landscapes.
