TOUR HIGHLIGHTS

Kandy: last ruled by King Sri Wickrama Rajasinghe, the World Heritage Site & last royal capital of Sri Lankan kings, crafts an array of culture, history and heritage in the minds of visitors across the globe.

Nuwara Eliya: misty steep roads, twisting through lush green blankets of tea bushes in a cool climate, remind visitors that they are within the range of this renowned British colonial retreat.

Yala National Park: spreading into a vast 1259 Km Yala - with its glory spinning around vast grasslands, shrubs, tanks and dunes, rightfully is the heartland of wildlife in Sri Lanka

Galle: the epic Southern capital, is the intersection where classic Dutch architecture meets a tropical setting creating a vivid atmosphere in beauty.

Colombo: the throbbing metropolis, Colombo is not only the country's commercial capital but also the turbine that impels above 50% of the national GDP flanking Colombo's fancy urban development effort.

Day 1: ARRIVAL COLOMBO – KANDY (100km – 3hrs)

Arrive at the International Airport in Colombo. Our representative will meet and greet you before transferring you to Kandy. Dinner included at the hotel. Please note alcohol will not be served in public areas in hotels and restaurants during religious holidays.

Overnight in Kandy.

Day 2: KANDY – PERADENIYA – KANDY (12km – 30min)

Breakfast at the Hotel. Transfer from Kandy to Peradeniya. First developed as a pleasure garden under royalty and later harmonized by the British, the Royal Botanical Gardens of Peradeniya (today bundled with the most welcoming facilities located just 4 miles off Kandy) is a flourishing national asset in the Wonder of Asia. Walk into this 147-acre bliss of an experience, passing well-tended lawns, pavilions & an octagon conservatory to be greeted by the vast expanse of a magnificently landscaped lush green turf which will encourage you for an exhilarating break. Towards the north of the entrance rests a cafeteria that one might come across before stepping into some of the highlights (the orchid house & giant Javan fig tree) of this place which overflow in grace. Transfer from Peradeniya to Kandy. Experience an ancient Kandyan legacy engraved around its crown jewel, the temple of the sacred tooth relic of Lord Buddha. A stroll across this small lakeside town - cradled among the misty hills - will feature the Kandy City Centre - bundled with the latest and world-class brands, a bazaar, an arts & crafts centre, as well as a gem museum & lapidary. Walk in colour as you glide through fresh fruits and vegetables in the Kandy market. Finish your evening by stepping to the beat of traditional music & drumming amplified by a cultural show enhancing the rich and vibrant culture of the Wonder of Asia, Sri Lanka. Return back to the hotel for dinner.

Overnight in Kandy.

Day 3: KANDY – NUWARA ELIYA (80km – 3hrs)

Breakfast at the Hotel. Transfer from Kandy to Tea Plantation. Sri Lanka, Tea and Tourism are words which cannot be separated. Step into a tea factory processing the prestigious brand of Ceylon Tea, to observe a rich tradition kept alive up to date. As you observe the hissing and swishing of machines, inhaling the heavenly scent arising from these facilities, make sure to end your day in style over a perfectly blended cup of pure Ceylon Tea. Transfer from Tea Plantation to Nuwara Eliya. Augmented by an English countryside atmosphere, the city of light - once governed by English & Scottish planters - is still studded with colonial bungalows, hedgerows & one of the finest 18-hole golf courses in the world. A hike through the green grass and red-brick walls should present breathtaking views of a buzzing countryside hamlet. Drive through green valleys of the hill country pierced by endless waterfalls & dotted by tea pluckers draped in bright-coloured saris. Dinner at a hotel.

Overnight in Nuwara Eliya.

Day 4: NUWARA ELIYA – YALA NATIONAL PARK – TISSAMAHARAMA (160km – 4hrs)

Breakfast at the Hotel. Transfer from Nuwara Eliya to Tissamaharama. As your jeep rumbles through the giant gates of Yala, you are not only stepping into the most visited national park in the country but also the lands of a civilization which thrived during the reign of Sri Lankan kings. You name it, and Yala has it! Its usual inmates cover herds of elephant, sloth bear, spotted dear, jackal, extensively populated birdlife as well as the highest density of leopards in the world that garnish the park to be one of the finest destinations in the country. Feel the rough track as your jeep thunders over rocks and swishes passing narrow bends for an exhilarating experience blended with the cries of wilderness under the tropical sun. Transfer from Yala to Tissamaharama. Dinner at the hotel. 

Overnight in Tissamaharama.

Day 5: TISSAMAHARAMA – GALLE – HIKKADUWA/ BENTOTA/ AHUNGALLA (200km – 3hrs)

Breakfast at the Hotel. Transfer from Tissamaharama to Galle. Walk the Dutch-haunted streets listening to the creaks of wooden saloon doors and observe how European architecture mingles with South Asian traditions today flooding cultural enthusiasts on a global scale. Its original ramparts and bastions preserved up to date showcase evidence of a heritage preserved for more than 3 1/2 centuries. Walk clockwise within the fort to observe the 'old gate' carrying the British coat of arms. Flanking the old gate is the Zwart Bastion (the oldest of all) and the lighthouse standing 18 feet in its glory next to the Point Utrecht Bastion. This Dutch bliss is painted with streets that spread in a rectangular grid pattern pierced with houses carrying Dutch colonial style verandas. Hop into the Dutch Hospital Shopping Complex to be mesmerized by an array of souvenir selections. However, its hallmark stands a reality where the Dutch fort remains a working community with its usual buzz of administrative offices, court complex, commercial buildings, churches and Southern folks frequenting its streets bracing the air of the Elysium of architecture, Galle! Transfer from Galle to Hikkaduwa/ Bentota/ Ahungalla. Dinner at the hotel.  

Overnight in Hikkaduwa/ Bentota/ Ahungalla.

Day 6: HIKKADUWA/ BENTOTA/ AHUNGALLA – COLOMBO (80km – 1.5hrs)

Breakfast at the Hotel. Transfer from Hikkaduwa/ Bentota / Ahungalla to Colombo. Colombo City tour: Colombo is the largest city and the current administrative capital of Sri Lanka. A hectic and vibrant city with a mix of modern life and remnants of a bygone colonial era. Due to the expansion of its port and its strategic geographical position, it is a key connection for the routes between the Eastern and Western hemispheres. Colombo was known to ancient merchants 2000 years ago. However, it was only the capital of Sri Lanka until it was ceded to the British Empire in 1815. The city houses most of Sri Lanka's corporate offices, restaurants and different entertainment venues. On this tour you will visit various historical, religious and commercial sites of Colombo including the famous and bustling harbour at Pettah, also the elite residential neighbourhood at Cinnamon Gardens, Galle Face Green Square, Viharamahadevi Park, Gangarama Temple. Clients can enjoy views of Bandaranaike Memorial International Conference Hall (BMICH) and Nelum Pokuna Theater while doing a city tour.
