An island of national parks, venerated temples, tea plantations, and rose-gold beaches: Sri Lanka packs in plenty of experiences. Our Travel consultants can help you plan a Sri Lanka holiday that encompasses your interests and shows you lesser-visited corners of the island.
The Cultural Triangle is Sri Lanka’s historic heartland, a concentration of extravagant ancient cities and cave frescoes with the rock fortress of Sigiriya in its middle. To the south is the pilgrimage city of Kandy, built around the Temple of the Tooth. From here you can ride the train up into the cooler climes of the central highlands, where neatly tended tea estates sit between colonial cottages and swathes of forest. The hills drop sharply down to the national parks and rainforest below, which shelter elephants, sloth bears, and, more elusively, leopards. Along the coast, you find the Dutch fortress of Galle and palm-fringed coves.
This 13-night tour covers a lot more than the package tourist trips do on their usual Island tour itineraries of Sri Lanka. We take you through different paths on most occasions to show you undiscovered Sri Lanka. This holiday itinerary also does cover a variety of Colonial past of Sri Lanka travelling through the Hill Capital Kandy, tea-growing hills of Nuwara Eliya and Galle Dutch fort on the south coast of Sri Lanka, built first in 1588 by the Portuguese, then extensively fortified by the Dutch during the 17th century from 1649 onwards. The tour takes you through Sri Lanka’s most interesting and beautiful landscapes and finishes from Colombo, one of Asia’s vibrant cities.
As always, we are able to tinker with this itinerary if you wish and add an extra night here and there. Our Travel consultants can help you plan the holiday as per your budget and interest along the way.
