This thoughtfully designed tour seamlessly blends exploration, wildlife encounters, and immersive cultural activities, offering a deep connection to Sri Lanka’s rich history and natural beauty.


Journey through time as we explore some of Sri Lanka’s most iconic UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

This journey is a perfect way to connect with the island’s fascinating history and culture.

 

Venture into the wild on exhilarating Jeep safaris in Yala National Park, a renowned reserve teeming with wildlife. Keep an eye out for elephants, elusive leopards, and a variety of bird species in their natural habitats. Enjoy the enchanting experience of a sunset safari, where the park’s wildlife comes alive as the day fades. Additionally, visit Minneriya National Park, famous for its large elephant herds, and the Turtle Hatchery in Galle, where efforts to protect endangered turtles are underway.


Step into the charming hill town of Nuwara Eliya, known as “Little England” for its cool climate, English-style architecture, and sprawling tea plantations. Explore lush tea plantations, learn about the tea-making process at a local factory, and indulge in a traditional high tea at the elegant Grand Hotel. Wander the town’s quaint streets and take in the stunning mountain scenery, waterfalls, and gardens, as you feel transported to a different time.

 

Experience the cultural heart of Sri Lanka in Kandy, another UNESCO World Heritage Site. Visit the revered Temple of the Tooth Relic, one of Buddhism’s most sacred sites. Take a scenic drive around Kandy Lake, and join a Sri Lankan cooking demonstration, learning how to create delicious local dishes. Kandy’s bustling markets, traditional arts, and rich heritage offer a captivating cultural experience.

 

While every day is filled with exciting discoveries, you will also have ample time to relax and unwind. Stay in luxurious accommodations, including jungle chalets in Yala, seaside escapes in Galle, and premier hotels in Colombo.
