About this experience

Passez huit jours à explorer toute l'étendue du corridor faunique du Sri Lanka, des forêts tropicales denses à la savane ouverte et au littoral de l'océan Indien. Parcourez les sentiers de la Réserve forestière de Sinharaja, où la lumière filtrée atteint à peine le sol de la forêt et où les oiseaux endémiques, les reptiles et les insectes remplissent chaque étage de la canopée. Dirigez-vous vers le sud au Parc national de Yala pour un safari en jeep à la recherche de léopards du Sri Lanka et de troupeaux d'éléphants d'Asie, puis scrutez l'horizon au large de Mirissa pour observer les baleines bleues et les cachalots lors d'une excursion d'observation des baleines dédiée. Promenez-vous sur les remparts du Fort de Galle, visitez un centre d'incubation des tortues à Koggala, faites une pause au Sanctuaire des oiseaux de Kalamatiya, et visitez l'usine de thé Handunugoda avant la fin du voyage.

Tout au long du circuit, Lakpura fournit un véhicule privé avec un guide-chauffeur parlant l'anglais, tous les carburants, parkings et péages autoroutiers couverts, plus deux bouteilles d'eau de 500 ml par personne et par jour. L'hébergement à l'hôtel, les repas et les droits d'entrée aux sites sont arrangés séparément. Le format privé signifie que l'itinéraire progresse à votre rythme, sans autocar partagé ni calendrier de groupe fixe.
