Welcome to Sri Lanka! Upon arrival at Bandaranaike International Airport (CMB), your private driver will greet you and
take you to Negombo, a charming seaside town just 20 minutes away. Settle into your hotel and unwind after your flight,
stroll along the beach, watch fishing boats return with the day’s catch, or enjoy a relaxed seafood dinner by the ocean.
Let the tropical breeze and sound of the waves mark your first evening on the island.
Overnight: Negombo

After breakfast, travel inland through lush countryside toward Kandy (approx. 3–4 hours). Nestled beside a tranquil lake
and surrounded by green hills, Kandy is the island’s cultural and spiritual heart. In the evening, visit the Temple of the
Sacred Tooth Relic, home to one of Buddhism’s most sacred treasures, and witness the evening pūjā ceremony. Later,
enjoy a lively Kandyan cultural performance filled with music, drumming, and graceful dance.
Overnight: Kandy

This morning, visit the Royal Botanical Gardens in Peradeniya, famous for its orchid collection and towering palms.
Then, ascend into the Hill Country, where the air grows cool and the hills shimmer in shades of emerald. Stop at a
working tea factory to learn about the island’s world-renowned Ceylon tea and taste it fresh from the source. Pause to
admire Ramboda Falls before reaching Nuwara Eliya, affectionately called Little England for its colonial charm and
lakeside setting.
Overnight: Nuwara Eliya

After breakfast, board the scenic train from Nanu Oya to Ella one of the most breathtaking train rides in the world. Watch
as misty mountains, tea gardens, and waterfalls unfold outside your window. Your driver will meet you in Ella, where
you’ll check into your hotel and later enjoy a sunset hike up Little Adam’s Peak, gazing across the vast Ella Gap.
Overnight: Ella

Start the day with a visit to the Nine Arches Bridge, a postcard-perfect railway viaduct hidden in lush forest. Then drive
south toward Yala or Udawalawe National Park (approx. 3–4 hours). After settling into your lodge, set out on an
afternoon jeep safari, where elephants, crocodiles, peacocks, and perhaps even a leopard roam free.
Overnight: Near Yala or Udawalawe

For early risers, an optional morning safari offers another chance to spot wildlife. Afterward, journey to the southern coast
to Mirissa or Weligama where the rhythm of the sea welcomes you. Spend the rest of the day at leisure: lounge on golden
sands, swim in the warm Indian Ocean, or enjoy a tranquil sunset by the shore.
Overnight: Mirissa or Weligama

Rise early for a whale and dolphin watching cruise from Mirissa (seasonal, November–April), where blue whales glide
through deep waters. Later, drive along the coast to Galle, the island’s colonial jewel. Wander through the UNESCO
listed Galle Fort, with its cobblestone streets, whitewashed villas, and ocean-view ramparts. Continue north to Colombo
or Negombo for your final night in Sri Lanka.
Overnight: Colombo or Negombo

Savor a relaxed breakfast and perhaps a last walk along Negombo Beach or a bit of shopping in Colombo. Then your
driver will escort you to Bandaranaike International Airport (CMB) for your departure carrying with you the colors,
flavors, and quiet magic of Sri Lanka.
