Sri Lanka Experience

Discover the beachside town of Negombo by tuk tuk and visit the famous local fish market, before heading to the beautiful town of Sigiriya. The next two nights we will stay in a hotel amidst lush, tropical greenery.  

An amazing and diverse day starting with experiencing the stunning views of Sigiriya Rock Fortress as we climb the towering rock adjacent, with 360 degrees views from the top, followed by an authentic local village experience. We’ll hop on some local transport and enjoy a cooking demonstration by the local village women and live and eat like the locals!

Today we’ll head south via a spice garden before arriving in the cultural centre of Sri Lanka – Kandy. We’ll visit the amazing Temple of the Tooth, before heading out for dinner and a few drinks. 

We’ll continue south through stunning rolling green tea plantations, stopping to learn how to pick and make tea; Sri Lanka’s most famous export. Before boarding the ‘world’s most scenic train’ to the town of Ella. Once we arrive we’ll head into town for dinner and a night out! 

A free morning to relax and explore the beautiful little town of Ella. We’ll then hike the stunning Little Adam’s Peak and enjoy the spectacular views. After the little hike, feel free to treat yourself to a traditional massage, do some shopping, or just curl up with a book and cuppa.

This morning we’ll visit the famous Nine Arches Bridge before heading south to the amazing Udawalawe National Park. 

Travelling by jeep at sunrise we’ll be keeping our eyes peeled for the free roaming wild elephants, plus other species like crocodiles, buffalo and bird life on safari. We’ll then head to the beachside oasis of Hiriketiya for a chilled afternoon in paradise. Later we'll arrive at our beachfront eco retreat in gorgeous Tallala, where we’ll finish the day watching the sunset whilst tucking into dinner. 

The aim of today is to do as little or as much as you want. Take a deep breath and feel the peace and calm wash over you at this beautiful retreat. Participate in the included yoga session, read a book on the loungers by the pool, book an ayuverdic massage, or just snooze under a palm tree whilst soaking in one of the best kept secret beaches of the south.

This morning we’ll continue along the coast and stop for a private surf lesson on the super friendly and relaxed Welligama Beach, before checking in to our beachfront accommodation in Mirissa. We'll then visit Coconut Tree Hill for it’s stunning view, before later heading out to check out the town. 

Today we’ll have a truly special experience! We’ll head to a Buddhist Monastery to take part in a cultural exchange with the local monk students who live there and gain a unique insight into Buddhist ways of life. Tonight and in celebration of our last evening together, we’ll be treating you to a farewell dinner on the beach.

Your epic adventure comes to an end today. Your group leader will help organise your onward travel including return to Colombo and airport transfers. For those flying out today, we'll have a bus returning to Negombo.
