Absolutely love the Island, been three times (twice to watch England test matches) & went back 2 years ago to see the bits I'd never got round to.. did 6 weeks backpacking.
I was on my todd so just used trains/busses & tuks, cheap, cheerful and relatively easy.
In six weeks you could pretty much see the lot. If you want to head east (Trinco/Arugam Bay) leave it till late Feb/ March as still wet around the turn of the year but the weather on the rest of the Island will be good.
Negombo is overated but decent place to get acclimatised for a couple of days right next to the airport. Kandy down to Nuwara Eliya/Ella (get the train, stunning) is a must. The South coast from Dikwalla (Hiriketiya Beach is beautiful & great for surf/swimming) to Galle is superb, include Tangalle & Mirrisa (whale watching). Bit more Russiany in Hikkaduwa and the East coast back to Colombo but still nice. Dirt cheap safari in Yala and Udawalawa. Golden triangle of Sigiriya (climb Pidurangala before dawn for best view) Anuradhapura & Polonnaruwa (plus Dambulla) very cool for temples and ancient guff.
Balls, I'll meet you out there!! |  |

Keep an eye out for street side vendors selling "Kurds and Trickle"
It is actually home made yoghurt served with fresh local honey and is absolutely delicious. |  | | |
