Most regret rushing too much and not leaving time to just chill. South coast beaches, Ella train and area, maybe one safari or cultural site. Don't try to do everything. People also say they wish they had more beach time or more relaxed days.

Yeah I overdid it first trip, learned to slow down second time. Beach and hills was perfect combo.

I skipped some 'must sees' and was happier for it. Do what interests you not the list.

Yeah overplanning is common mistake. Build in buffer days. The train and one or two highlights is plenty for first trip.
