From the golden shores of Colombo to the misty highlands of Nuwara Eliya and the wild landscapes of Yala, experience the many faces of Sri Lanka on this unforgettable journey. Climb the UNESCO-listed Sigiriya Rock Fortress, explore the sacred temples of Kandy and Anuradhapura, and meet a practicing monk for a traditional blessing ceremony. Watch Asian elephants roam freely on safari in Yala National Park, then journey to the colonial streets of Galle Fort, where Dutch-era mansions overlook the Indian Ocean. Along the way, visit a working tea estate, enjoy high tea at the Grand Hotel and witness the skill of Weligama’s stilt fishermen. With amazing landscapes, rich traditions and warm hospitality at every turn, discover the Pearl of the Indian Ocean on a trip to Sri Lanka.
Colombo: Discover Colombo’s vibrant heart on a tuk-tuk adventure through its historic streets. See the colonial-era Colombo Fort and explore the lively Pettah Market before visiting the striking Red Mosque. Pass the Old Town Hall, step inside the Dutch-built Wolvendaal Church and admire the eclectic Gangaramaya Temple. Conclude at Hotel Nippon with a classic mutton roll and a refreshing drink.
Dambulla: Dating back to around 750–400 BCE, this ancient burial site offers a glimpse into Sri Lanka’s early civilisations. Carefully arranged stone chambers once held cremated remains, accompanied by pottery, beads and iron tools: evidence of advanced social and cultural practices. As you explore the well-preserved tombs, admire the ingenuity of their construction and uncover the beliefs that shaped the lives of the island’s earliest inhabitants.
Polonnaruwa: Explore this UNESCO World Heritage Site with your Travel Director, uncovering the legacy of Sri Lanka’s medieval capital. Flourishing between the 11th and 13th centuries, the city thrived through an advanced irrigation system that sustained large-scale rice cultivation. Walk among its well-preserved stupas, temple complexes and the Royal Palace, once the centre of a powerful kingdom.
Anuradhapura: Home to some of Sri Lanka’s most sacred and historic sites. See the Ruwanwelisaya Dagoba, a towering stupa, a domed shrine that enshrines sacred relics and a marvel of ancient engineering. Visit the Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi, a revered fig tree linked to the Buddha’s enlightenment, and Thuparamaya, the island’s first stupa. Explore the vast Abhayagiri Monastery and the intricate rock carvings of Isurumuniya Temple before meeting local artisans in a village known for its traditional clay pot making.
Dambulla: Step inside Sri Lanka’s largest and best-preserved cave monastery, a sacred site for over two millennia. Dating back to the 3rd century BCE, this UNESCO-listed temple sits 160 metres above the plains, offering panoramic views over the central highlands. Explore its vast caverns, where more than 150 Buddha statues and intricate murals cover the walls, depicting centuries of Buddhist teachings and Sri Lankan history.
