About this experience

Spend 13 days tracing the full sweep of Sri Lanka — from the fortified rock citadels and sacred temple complexes of the ancient kingdoms to the mist-wrapped highlands where tea estates roll across every ridge. Lakpura arranges your private vehicle, covers fuel, parking, and highway tolls, and pairs you with an English-speaking chauffeur guide who navigates each route and explains every site along the way.

This is a private tour, so the pace and stops belong entirely to your group. Note that hotel accommodation, entrance fees, domestic airfare, and personal expenses are not included, giving you the freedom to book the stays and attractions that suit your budget. Thirteen days is enough time to move unhurriedly between coast, cultural triangle, and hill country — arriving at each destination rather than racing through it.
