Sri Lanka Dream Journey – 12 Days in Sri Lanka

Start & end in Negombo 12 days Up to 12

About this trip

Twelve days across Sri Lanka with a private chauffeur guide, covering coast, hill country and cultural sites in one loop of the island. The pace is comfortable rather than rushed, with the guide handling logistics so you can focus on what you're seeing.

You'll move from the beaches around Negombo to the capital Colombo, then up into misty tea country before heading out to wildlife sanctuaries. Expect a mix of ancient cities, green highlands and genuine biodiversity along the way.

Meals lean into authentic Sri Lankan cooking, and the trip is built around comfort throughout, making it a reasonable fit for families or groups travelling together.
