About this experience

Travel Sri Lanka in the comfort of a private motorhome on this six-day tour, guided by an English-speaking chauffeur guide who handles navigation, fuel, parking, and highway tolls throughout. Starting from your arranged pickup point, you ride in a dedicated private vehicle as the island's landscapes unfold — paddy fields, ancient towns, and jungle-fringed roads — with no shared coaches or fixed group schedules to work around.

The itinerary takes you to two of Sri Lanka's most celebrated heritage sites. At Sigiriya, you ascend the iconic 5th-century rock fortress, scanning its frescoes and the vast plains stretching to the horizon. At Dambulla, you step inside the Golden Cave Temple's five chambers, where gilded Buddha statues and centuries-old murals line the rock walls. Entrance fees to these sites are not included and are paid locally. Minimum age for this private tour is five years.
