Explore Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka's most thrilling road journeys climb through some of the most dramatic mountain scenery in Asia — narrow ridges, steep hairpin descents, and high-altitude passes built to connect colonial-era tea estates. The Devil's Staircase between Ohiya and Kalupahana loses nearly 1,000 metres of elevation over 14 off-road kilometres. Allow extra time — distances that look short on a map can take far longer on steep winding roads.
