Arugam Bay to Kandy Taxi
East coast to the old hill capital. The route crosses the dry-zone interior before lifting into the central highlands, and it's a genuine cross-section of the island in a single day — surf, scrub, paddy, then tea. Good option if you're heading on to the Cultural Triangle afterwards.
