About this trip
Eleven days across Sri Lanka, from the coast to the hills to the south, taking in the country's best-known sights without rushing through any single one.
You'll move from Negombo through the Cultural Triangle to Kandy, up into the tea country around Nuwara Eliya and Ella, then down to Yala for a safari and finally the south coast for beach time and Galle Fort.
It's a well-rounded introduction to Sri Lanka — ancient sites, hill country scenery, wildlife and a stretch of coast, with plenty of variety day to day.
What you'll do
- Climb Sigiriya Rock Fortress and visit Dambulla Cave Temple
- Visit the Sacred Tooth Temple and see a cultural dance show in Kandy
- Ride the scenic train from Nanu Oya to Ella and cross the Nine Arch Bridge
- Safari in Yala National Park
- Boat safari on the Madu River with a stop at Cinnamon Island
- Explore Galle Fort and a turtle hatchery on the south coast
- Fast-paced with a new base every few nights
- Mix of guided sightseeing and free time, so some independence is expected
- Good fit for families given the range of activities
