About this experience

Quittez Colombo et dirigez-vous vers les terres hautes du Sri Lanka lors de cette visite privée de 2 jours. Votre chauffeur-guide anglophone vous récupère dans un véhicule climatisé et vous conduit à Kandy, où vous visitez le Temple du Reliquaire de la Dent Sacrée inscrit à l'UNESCO et profitez d'une visite complète de la ville. Une visite guidée du village vous présente le côté plus calme des terres hautes — la vie locale, les paysages et les traditions loin des sentiers touristiques. Un litre d'eau gratuit par personne vous permet de rester rafraîchi tout au long du parcours.

Vous passez la nuit dans un hôtel 3 étoiles avec petit-déjeuner inclus, puis continuez votre exploration avant que votre chauffeur vous ramène à Colombo. L'hébergement, les repas, les droits d'entrée et les gratifications ne sont pas inclus, vous gardez donc le contrôle de vos dépenses. La visite est entièrement privée — votre groupe, votre rythme, et des commentaires adaptés à vos intérêts à chaque étape. Lakpura arrange tous les transports et services de guide du début à la fin.
