7 Days / 6 Nights
Sub-Continent - Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka fits an unreasonable amount of variety into a small island — ancient rock fortresses, tea-country hill stations, wildlife safaris, and a south coast of palm-lined beaches, all reachable within a few hours' drive of each other. This trip threads through the cultural triangle before winding down on the coast.
Good for travelers who want history, hill-country scenery, and beach time all in one trip.
Climb the ancient Sigiriya rock fortress at sunrise, then explore the cave temples of Dambulla.
Drive to Kandy for the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic and a visit to the Royal Botanical Gardens at Peradeniya.
Scenic drive into the hill country, with a working tea estate tour and tasting in Nuwara Eliya.
Transfer to Yala National Park for a jeep safari in search of leopards, elephants, and sloth bears.
Relax on the south coast at Mirissa or Bentota's beaches, with an optional whale-watching excursion.
