Day 01

Arrive at Bandaranaike International Airport, Sri Lanka, the tropical paradise, and be warmly greeted by our courteous staff who will garland you on arrival. Thereafter proceed to Kandy. En route visit the Elephant Orphanage in ‘Pinnawela’, the home for young Elephants who have been displaced or lost from their natural habitat. This is the only such sanctuary in the world; you will watch the beasts gamboling in the water and being fed their quota of milk from handheld bottles.

There after depart to Kandy. This is, perhaps Sri Lanka’s most beautiful town. Set 488 meters above sea level, and next to Colombo, Kandy is Sri Lanka’s most visited place. The focal point of the town is the golden-roofed ‘Dalada Maligawa’, where the sacred tooth relic of the Buddha is enshrined. There are numerous shrines and temples in and around Kandy, where you will see rare paintings, frescoes, and stone carvings.

In the evening we will have the opportunity to do shopping in Kandy, where you could fetch souvenirs in wood, copper, silver, brass, ebony, and bronze, ceramics, lacquer work, handlooms, batiks, jewellery and rush and reed-ware.

Day 02

After breakfast at the hotel leave for Nuwaraeliya. Enroute visit The Royal Botanic Gardens at ‘Peradeniya’ where you could treat your eyes to an amazing, wide and rare collection of tropical and temperate, exotic and indigenous flora, and an orchid house with the largest collection in Asia.

Nuwaraeliya, the center of the hill country, enroute visit a tea plantation and witness the manufacture of the world’s famous “Ceylon Tea”. Spend the rest of the evening leisure in the cool climate.

Overnight Stay in Nuwara Eliya

Day 03

Breakfast at the hotel. Free day in Nuwaraeliya.

Nuwaraeliya set in the heart of tea-country, this beautiful town is where the British succeeded in creating a replica of the English countryside, with homes in styles from Georgian to Queen Anne. Well-kept lawns with hedges, an Anglican church, a famous golf course and beautiful parks give the place an air of nostalgia. Situated 1,890 meters above sea level, the air is cool and fresh – a serene retreat from the hustle and bustle of Colombo. Close to Nuwaraeliya is Horton Plains, Sri Lanka’s highest and most isolated plateau. Nature lovers will revel in this wide, patna-grass covered plain, the haunt of many wild, yet harmless, animals and the home of many species of birds. Bridle paths will take you to the precipice known as World’s End – a sheer drop of 1,050 meters. Acres and acres of tea with its lush green foliage extend miles across the hills, and no visit to the hill country is complete without a visit to a tea estate, and the chance to purchase some of the world’s finest flavored tea.

Overnight Stay in Nuwara Eliya

Day 04

After a delightful breakfast leave for Colombo through Kitulgala.

Film buffs may enjoy Sri Lanka’s River Kwai - Kelani River, scene of the 1957 film. It is well signed but you may have difficulty avoiding “guides”. If you would rather enjoy the orchards and expanse of farmland in your own secret retreat, Paradise Farm has a stunning setting at the peak of a hill with home grown fruit/vegetables and wild boar on the menu!

Kithulgala has good swimming areas and for the more adventurous it is one center for the white water rafting. Rafters Retreat offers excellent rafting excursions and in our opinion, provides the most adventurous and comfortable tree houses in the World.

Colombo is a fascinating city, not only for its comfortable blend of East and West, but also for its cozy mixture of past and present. It is the commercial capital of the country. Evening leisure at the hotel.

Distance from Nuwaraeliya to Colombo via Kithulgala 180 KM/ Duration of Travel 06 Hrs
Overnight Stay in Colombo

Day 05

‘Colombo’, the Commercial capital of Sri Lanka. Like many capital cities in developing countries Colombo is fast changing its face. In no time, skyscrapers arise from where old buildings once stood, yet in some parts; the old world charm is retained.

Embark on a shopping spree until you drop in the famous Colombo shopping malls placing your hands on world famous brands at unbelievable prices. ODEl, Arena, House of fashion, Fashion Bug, Beverly Street, Crescat, majestic City and much more. Also you could visit several landmarks in Colombo while you shop for example; there is a 100-year-Old clock tower and several British built, colonial buildings, which still attract all of us. Other places of interest are, the Pettah bazaar, where one can shop for bargains, Hindu and Buddhist temples, residential areas where you find the stately homes of the affluent, the Colombo museum, the Bandaranaike Memorial International Conference hall an outright gift to Sri Lanka from the people's republic of china, the new parliament in Sri Jayawardenapura and the folk art centre.
