Sri Lanka holidays & tours
Sri Lanka tours beckon with impossibly lush hills, ancient temples, palm-flanked beaches, uncrowded wildlife reserves and the warmest hospitality you’ll find in the Indian Ocean. From north to south, east to west, this teardrop-shaped island bursts with natural wonders and hidden places that will delight any holidaymaker or sightseer.
Formerly known as Ceylon, Sri Lanka’s untouched landscapes and 2,000 years of history have blessed it with countless archaeological treasures, natural beauty spots and colonial monuments, all crying out to be rediscovered after years off the mainstream tourist radar. So it’s no surprise that our tours in Sri Lanka offer incredible variety, casting the spotlight on everything from relaxed nature reserves to the island’s little known northern region, fabled Cultural Triangle and glorious beaches.
Highlights of our Sri Lanka tours
Our tours to Sri Lanka offer handpicked itineraries designed to appeal to history buffs, scenery lovers, culture vultures and wildlife watchers. Concentrate on Sri Lanka’s relaxed wildlife parks, heading for Yala National Park and Udawalawe National Park to take exciting safari drives in search of leopards, elephants, sloth bears and monitor lizards. Soak up the beauty of culture-rich Kandy, nestled into verdant hills and home to the sacred Buddhist Temple of the Tooth, said to house a real tooth of Buddha. Alternatively, set your sights on the island’s mysterious north and eastern shores, exploring charismatic old Jaffna, picturesque colonial-era Trincomalee and the former capital of Polonnaruwa, with its colossal Buddha statue and sunbaked 1st century ruins.
Other Sri Lanka tours focus solely on its most famous landmarks, taking in not just Kandy, but the fascinating rock cave temples of Dambulla and the mighty rock fortress of Sigiriya. You’ll also get the chance to learn how tea is picked and produced at a traditional tea factory and visit the cool mountain retreat of Nuwara Eliya. Other highlights include the Horton Plains, a magnificent plateau commanding phenomenal views over the valleys below, the vibrant capital of Colombo and historic Galle with its sprawling Dutch-built fort– a UNESCO World Heritage site.
What’s more, on our Sri Lanka tours, you can extend your holiday to wallow in its idyllic beaches. After exploring the island’s highlights, unwind on the golden sands of Bentota or Beruwela or, depending on your itinerary, fly off to the heavenly Maldives.
