This guided, 13-day tour stitches together amazing experiences and some of the most scenic destinations of Sri Lanka. Join us as we take in the stunning landscape and ancient culture of this country which is often referred to as the 'pearl of the Indian Ocean'.

Zig-zag your way through the west coast of the country and traverse through the island's northern cultural triangle. See wild elephants in Gal Oya National Park during a boat safari, go swimming under cascading waterfalls, discover little visited rural enclaves where time seems to stay frozen and spend the last three days relaxing on golden sand beaches.
