Departure or onward journey
Meet your private driver or chauffeur-guide at the airport and travel into Sri Lanka’s Cultural Triangle. Settle into your accommodation and enjoy time to relax after your flight.
Visit Sigiriya Rock Fortress during the cooler morning hours before exploring the cave temples of Dambulla. A village experience, local lunch or relaxed hotel afternoon can also be included.
Travel towards Kandy, adding suitable cultural or local stops along the way. Arrive in the hill capital and explore the lake area, local streets or an evening cultural performance.
Begin with Kandy’s cultural highlights before continuing into the hill country. Travel towards Ella by private vehicle or scenic train when suitable tickets are available.
Explore Ella at your preferred pace. Visit Nine Arch Bridge, walk to Little Adam’s Peak or enjoy a slower day of viewpoints, local food and mountain scenery.
Leave the cool hills and travel towards the dry-zone landscapes surrounding Yala. Enjoy suitable stops along the way before settling near the national park.
Join a private jeep safari in Yala National Park during a suitable morning or afternoon session. Wildlife sightings depend on natural conditions and cannot be guaranteed. Continue towards Galle afterwards.
Discover Galle Fort through its colonial history, architecture, local streets and coastal atmosphere. Continue to your selected stay along the southern coast.
Spend a flexible day beside the Indian Ocean. Choose beach time, a local food experience, a coastal village visit or simply a relaxed final day.
Transfer to Colombo, the airport or your next destination. Timing and stops will be arranged around your flight or onward travel plans.
