What you’ll do

Over 16 days, this adventure takes you across Sri Lanka, immersing you in its rich history, breathtaking landscapes, and warm local culture. From exploring the streets of Negombo and Colombo to tracing colonial footsteps in Galle and relaxing on the paradise beaches of Tangalle, every stop reveals a new side of the island.

We venture deep into the lush heart of the country, wander through endless tea plantations, and soak in the old-world charm of Nuwara Eliya. Climbing the sacred Sri Pada mountain at sunrise becomes a spiritual highlight, while Kandy's cultural pulse and the ancient royal cities of Polonnaruwa and Sigiriya leave lasting impressions.

The journey ends back by the Indian Ocean, where we bid farewell to this enchanting island, carrying unforgettable memories of Ceylon’s natural beauty, ancient wonders, and the kindness of its people.
