Days 1-3
Sigiriya
You’ll land in the capital of Sri Lanka, Colombo, where a private chauffeur-driver will meet you and drive you northeast to Sigiriya, a four-hour journey by road. Although you’ll arrive late, you’ll be exactly where you need to be to see one of Sri Lanka’s most remarkable sights – the flat-topped summit of Sigiriya, where the ruins of an ancient civilisation lie. You might decide to take an elephant safari while you’re here, in addition to the memorable early-morning hike to Lion’s Rock that’s included.
Day 4
Kandy
Leaving Sigiriya, you’ll drive south to Kandy on a journey that’ll take around three hours. You’ll spend a night here, allowing you enough time to visit the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic and the Royal Botanical Gardens with its exquisite collection of orchids and an impressive display of majestic trees.
Days 5 to 6
Nuwara Eliya
From Kandy, you’ll board a train to Nuwara Eliya. It’s a scenic trip through Sri Lanka’s Tea Country, passing through little villages and tea plantations. On arrival, you’ll be met and transferred to your accommodation. While you’re in Nuwara Eliya, it’s up to you whether you’d like to take a tour of a tea factory or simply relax and enjoy the beautiful views this area is famous for.
Day 7
Negombo
After two nights in Sri Lanka’s Tea Country, you’ll be driven west on a five-hour journey to the coast, where the beaches of Negombo are waiting. It’s the perfect location for some downtime, with golden sand beaches and stylish hotels to enjoy and end your trip on a high.
