Riverston is one of Sri Lanka’s most beautiful and best-kept secrets, a highland plateau rising from the Knuckles foothills where, on clear mornings, panoramic views stretch uninterrupted from the central mountains all the way to the eastern coastline. Few viewpoints anywhere on the island can rival what opens up here. Rolling grasslands, patches of cloud forest and dramatic rocky outcrops create a landscape that is as rewarding to simply sit within as it is to photograph or explore on foot. Riverston is unhurried, uncrowded, and quietly spectacular in every direction.
