Authentic Sri Lankan Experience

Your driver meets you at the airport and transfers you to Habarana — a quiet village base in the heart of Sri Lanka's cultural heartland, surrounded by ancient tanks and rural paddy fields.

A morning bullock cart village safari through rural paddy fields and traditional villages — meet local families, see traditional craftspeople at work, and experience rural Sri Lankan life firsthand. In the afternoon, climb the extraordinary Sigiriya Rock Fortress.

Visit Dambulla's magnificent cave temples before driving south to Kandy, stopping at a spice garden in Matale to discover cinnamon, pepper, cardamom and nutmeg in their natural forms.

A full day in Kandy: the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic, a leisurely walk around Kandy Lake, the gem museum, and an evening cultural dance show featuring traditional Kandyan drummers and fire-walkers.

Board the famous scenic train through cloud forests, tea estates, and viaducts to Ella — the journey is part of the experience, and one of the most photographed train routes in the world.

A relaxed day exploring Ella — the Nine Arch Bridge, the hike up Little Adam's Peak for 360° views of the tea hills, and a visit to Ravana Falls before an evening among the village's cafés and guest houses.

Drive south to Yala — Sri Lanka's most famous national park and home to the world's highest density of leopards. An afternoon jeep safari ventures into Block 1 at golden hour.

An early morning safari in Yala when leopards and elephants are most active, then transfer north to Colombo for your international departure.
