About this experience
Spend 27 days uncovering the full sweep of Sri Lanka on this private minivan tour, guided by a dedicated English-speaking chauffeur guide from start to finish. You'll stand beneath the sacred dagobas of Anuradhapura — Sri Lanka's first ancient capital — then climb the rock fortress of Sigiriya, where frescoes and landscaped gardens cling to a column of volcanic rock. The five cave shrines of Dambulla's Golden Temple and the sprawling ruins of Polonnaruwa fill your cultural itinerary before you head into the highlands.
The pace shifts as you arrive in Kandy, seat of Sri Lanka's last royal kingdom, then stroll the colonial-era streets of Nuwara Eliya. Board one of the world's most celebrated scenic train journeys through tea-carpeted hills, and finish with unhurried days on Sri Lanka's golden-sand beaches. All fuel, parking and highway tolls are covered, along with prevailing taxes. Hotel accommodation, entrance fees and personal expenses are arranged separately.
