Itinerary

You made it! Arrive, catch up on some sleep or head to the beach! To give you a taste that we don’t do things by halves, we’ll be having a beachfront welcome dinner and drinks at sunset, the perfect start to your adventure. Then hey, get your head down. You’ve got an enormous 9 days ahead of you.

Today we’ll head into the centre of Sri Lanka, where we’ll learn about the country’s history and culture. Our first stop is the Dambulla Cave Temple, a temple carved deep into the rock face. Next up is the Golden Buddha, a giant statue on a hill top looking down onto the town below. In the evening, we'll check in to our accommodation with views of Sigiriya Rock which we will be climbing in the morning. (B)

It’s an early start today, as we’ll make our way to the top of one of Sri Lanka’s most famous landmarks - Lion Rock (known locally as Sigiriya Rock). A UNESCO World Heritage site, a giant rock formation standing nearly 700ft tall, an ancient fortress, with mind-blowing views from the top; well worth the trek up. We’ll come back to our hotel for breakfast afterwards, before exploring the town in the afternoon. In the evening we’ll visit a local farming village for a truly authentic Sri Lankan meal around a bonfire, cooked by the villagers. (B/D)

We travel to Kandy today to visit the Temple of the Tooth It is located in the royal palace complex and since ancient times, the relic has played an important role in local politics because it is believed that whoever holds the relic holds the governance of the country. We learn about this amazing story before watching an amazing sunset of Kandy lake from our hotel on the mountain side. (B)

We drive past the beautiful town of Nuwara Elia and spend the morning at a local tea plantation where we’ll learn all about the tea brewing process, from leaf to cup. We’ll then spend some time at a local family-run cooking school, where we’ll be taught how to cook some of Sri Lanka’s best dishes. It’s then time to board ‘the most scenic train journey’ - and you’ll quickly see why. We’ll board the famous train from Nuwara Eliya to the chilled town of Ella. The scenery we pass on the way is seriously out of this world; keep an eye out for waterfalls, wildlife and friendly locals. (B/L)

Early morning start as we climb Little Adams Peak, for a stunning view of Ella Gap - a gorge full of beautiful waterfalls and stunning backdrops. We’ll have lunch in Ella town, before stopping off at Nine Arch Bridge, where we’ll walk the tracks and watch the train pass through. (B)

In the morning, we’ll visit a waterfall for a refreshing dip, before heading down to Udawalawe National Park. Here we’ll check into our glamping tents for the evening, where plenty of activities are available to enjoy. Then we’ll jump in Tuk Tuks to the Elephant Orphanage, where we’ll witness first-hand how they’re looking after the wild elephants in the area. (B)

As the sun rises, we hop into our Safari jeeps where we’ll see plenty of the local wildlife, including Elephants, Monkeys, Buffalos, Flamingos, to mention just a few. We’ll have breakfast by the river, before making our way to our final stop, the beachside town of Unawatuna. (B)

For our second-to-last day, we’re heading to the stunning golden sands of the beach on the other side. Soak up some Vitamin D, have a swim in the sea, enjoy the simple pleasures and beauty of the shore and maybe even see a turtle! What a life! Once we're all sun-kissed, we’ll head back to the hotel for our farewell dinner. We hope you’ve still got those tissues! (B)

Check out any time today, or opt to stay on a little while longer. Whichever you decide, our guides will be on hand to help out. (B)

Trip Inclusions

  • Traditional meal with local village
    This isn’t just any village experience, this really is THE TRUFAM village exclusive, Our TruFamily is worldwide baby! We take you deep into Sri Lankan culture as we spend the evening with a traditional local farming village. Friends of ours, they teach us all about farm life and the local techniques used to harvest and produce ingredients used in everyday Sri Lankan life. Is there any food better than home cooked? No, no I don’t think so. Our Sri Lankan TruFam cook up a storm serving a traditional meal for us all before we jump on a quick barge to cross the river for sunset. Perfection. As the sun goes down, the bonfire soars. Is there any better time to have a beer or 7? Probably not.. Immerse yourself in Sri Lankan culture and Sri Lankan beer. Win Win.
