Overview

Discover Sri Lanka

Few places pack so much into so little distance. In a single week you can climb the fifth-century rock fortress of Sigiriya, walk among the temples of Kandy, ride the famous blue train through misty tea estates and watch elephants gather at Minneriya.

Our Sri Lanka itineraries balance culture with calm — private drivers, boutique heritage stays and unhurried beach days on the south coast, all designed around the island’s two monsoon seasons so the weather works in your favour.

Highlights

  • Sunrise climb of Sigiriya Lion Rock
  • Scenic train ride from Kandy to Ella
  • Elephant safaris at Minneriya and Yala
  • Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic, Kandy
  • Tea estate stays in Nuwara Eliya
  • Galle Fort and the southern beaches
