Itinerary
Landing in Colombo, we'll meet you at the airport and take you to your beach front hotel in Negombo. Meet up with your travel crew and get excited for the adventures to come.
Discover the beachside town of Negombo by tuk tuk and visit the local markets, before heading north to the beautiful town of Sigiriya.
An amazing and diverse day starting with experiencing the stunning views of the famous Sigiriya Rock Fortress, as we climb the towering rock adjacent, with 360 degrees views from the top, followed by an authentic local village experience. We’ll hop on some unique, local transport and enjoy a cooking demonstration by the local village women and live and eat like the locals!
It's goodbye Sigiriya and hello Kandy today as we head south to the cultural centre of Sri Lanka, stopping en route to visit a spice garden. Once in Kandy, we'll head out to visit the fascinating Temple of the Tooth. We will head out for dinner and drinks tonight.
Our southern journey continues today, surrounded by lush and green tea plantations stretching in every direction. We'll be stopping to get a closer look and learn the art of tea picking (and brewing) from local pickers. We'll then hop on board a train for one of the 'world's most scenic train journeys' (no biggie) bound for beautiful and serene Ella.
A later start this morning as we head off to hike the stunning Little Adam’s Peak and enjoy the spectacular views.
This afternoon is yours to relax and explore the beautiful little town of Ella, do some shopping or unwind with a traditional massage.
Get those cameras at the ready as this morning we'll be making a stop at Nine Arches Bridge, one of the most Insta famous places in all of Sri Lanka. We'll then continue south to Udawalawe National Park, where we'll check in to our laid back and beautiful hotel perched right on the edge of the park.
Travelling by jeep at sunrise we'll be keeping our eyes peeled for the free roaming wild elephants, plus other species like crocodiles, buffalo and bird life on safari. We'll then head to the beachside oasis of Hiriketiya for a chilled afternoon in paradise.
Later we'll arrive at our beachfront eco retreat in gorgeous Tallala, where we'll finish the day watching the sunset.
The aim of today is to do as little or as much as you want. Take a deep breath and feel the peace and calm wash over you at this beautiful retreat. Participate in our included Yoga session, read a book by the pool, book an ayurdevic massage, or just snooze under a palm tree whilst soaking in one of the best kept secret beaches of the south.
This morning we’ll continue along the coast and stop for a private surf lesson on the super friendly and relaxed Welligama Beach, before checking into our beachfront accom in Mirissa. We'll then visit Coconut Tree Hill for its stunning view, before later heading for a night out in the town.
Saving one of the best experiences till last. Today we'll be heading to a Buddhist Monastery to take part in a cultural exchange with the local monk students who live there and gain a unique insight into Buddhist ways of life.
Tonight and in celebration of our last evening together, we'll be treating you to a farewell dinner on the beach.
Your epic adventure comes to an end today. Your group leader will help organise your onward travel. For those flying out today, we'll have a bus to take you to Negombo.
