8-Day Sri Lanka Luxury Discovery Tour

Meet your English-speaking chauffeur at Bandaranaike International Airport or your Colombo hotel and travel directly to Sigiriya. Settle into your chosen stay and enjoy a relaxed afternoon. This direct transfer suits a morning arrival; for a late flight, ask us to adjust the first night and route. Overnight: Sigiriya.

Start early with a visit to Sigiriya Rock Fortress, allowing time for the climb at your own pace. Continue to Dambulla Cave Temple and return for a relaxed afternoon at your accommodation. Both visits involve steps; we can adapt the day to your mobility and interests. Entrance tickets are extra unless included in your quote. Overnight: Sigiriya.

Travel to Kandy and explore the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic, Kandy Lake and a city viewpoint. A traditional Kandyan cultural show can be arranged in the late afternoon, subject to the local programme and arrival time. Admission fees are extra unless quoted. Overnight: Kandy.

Drive into the hill country through tea-growing landscapes. Stop at a tea plantation and factory where operating schedules allow, with waterfall and scenic stops along the way. Reach Nuwara Eliya and enjoy time around Lake Gregory or at your chosen stay. Overnight: Nuwara Eliya.

Transfer to Nanu Oya Railway Station for the scenic train journey towards Ella. Train tickets cost extra and depend on availability, class and the operating timetable; reserved seats are not guaranteed. Your chauffeur travels by road and meets you at Ella station. If suitable tickets or services are unavailable, continue by road with scenic stops. Overnight: Ella.

Enjoy Nine Arch Bridge and, if you wish, a morning walk towards Little Adam’s Peak. Stop at Ravana Falls before continuing by road to the Yala area. The day’s walking and stops are adjusted to your pace and transfer time. Overnight: Yala area.

Take an optional morning safari in Yala National Park, subject to park access and conditions. Jeep hire and park tickets are extra unless confirmed in your quote, and wildlife sightings cannot be guaranteed. Continue along the south coast to Galle, with time to settle in. Overnight: Galle.

Explore Galle Fort’s lanes and coastal views if your departure schedule allows, then travel to Bandaranaike International Airport or your Colombo hotel. We plan the transfer around your flight and traffic, with an earlier departure when needed. The tour ends on arrival; no overnight stay is included on Day 8.
