Top destinations in Sri Lanka
Colombo
Sri Lanka’s capital combines colonial
architecture, modern shopping malls, and lively street markets. We can arrange
a guided tour of the cultural highlights before unwinding with a sunset stroll
along Galle Face Green.
Kandy
Surrounded by dramatic mountains and full
of important cultural sights, Kandy is notably home to the Temple of the Tooth,
one of Sri Lanka’s most sacred Buddhist sites. When you’re done in Kandy, head
up into the highlands via train – the Kandy-Ella train line is famously one of
the most beautiful train journeys in the world, and takes you closer to the
next stop on your Sri Lankan tour.
Tea Country & World’s
End
The highlands of Sri Lanka’s tea country
boast mile after mile of misty jungle-covered mountains, waterfalls, and
emerald-green tea plantations. For keen hikers, the World’s End escarpment in
Horton Plains is a sight not to be missed, with stunning views of the valley
that really earn the name. That said, if you’d rather stick to strolling through
the tea leaves or learning about the region’s British colonial history then
don’t worry - there’s bound to be a
breathtaking view anywhere you look in this part of the country.
Bentota & the South
Coast
Sri Lanka’s southern beaches are perfect
for relaxation and water sports. Bentota is one of the best-known resort towns,
renowned for its golden sands, tranquil lagoons, and luxurious resorts, making
it an ideal spot for honeymooners. Down the coast, you’ll find Galle, a
UNESCO-listed fort city with boutique shops and art galleries. Further along,
Mirissa and Unawatuna offer more beautiful beaches, plus whale-watching tours
and stunning sunsets.
Sigiriya & the
Cultural Triangle
Most tours will make sure you get to
explore the cultural triangle of Sri Lanka, full of incredible ancient sites
and stunning sights! Climb the dramatic
rock fortress of Sigiriya for sweeping views, then explore the nearby ruins of
Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa, both UNESCO-listed sites that bring Sri Lanka’s
history to life.
