Start in Negombo and end in Colombo, the tour "Sri Lanka: Wonders & Wildlife – Premium Adventure" is a guided cultural, religious and historic sites trip that takes 14 days. You will travel through Yala National Park, Kandy, Galle and 7 other destinations in Sri Lanka. "Sri Lanka: Wonders & Wildlife – Premium Adventure" is a small group tour which includes accommodation, transport, meals and others.

Sri Lanka is a wonderland for adventurers: Buddhist temples and colonial architecture; tea plantations and spice gardens; safari parks and palm-fringed beaches. Book this Premium trip to explore it beyond the typical tourist track. We join a family to cook traditional curries (which we share with our hosts and local monks) and explore Gal Oya village with a chief from the forest-dwelling Veddha community. Of course, there are a few highlights we couldn’t miss, including the rock fortress of Sigiriya and safari in Yala National Park, and we’ve scheduled downtime in beachside on the south coast for a chance to kick back and relax.
