About this trip
This 12-day trip combines a tour through Sri Lanka's cultural highlights with four nights unwinding in the Maldives. You'll move through Colombo, Kandy, Nuwara Eliya and Galle before flying to the islands for some proper downtime.
The Sri Lanka leg covers ancient temples, hill country tea plantations and colonial architecture, with a guided look at each stop. Then the pace drops entirely once you reach the Maldives, where the days are yours to fill with swimming, reading, or optional activities.
It's a fully guided group tour throughout Sri Lanka, with the international flight to the Maldives included in the package.
