Hand-crafted Travel to Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka, a tropical paradise renowned for its green dense landscapes and rich cultural heritage, offers a captivating blend of experiences. During the dry season, the coastal areas are perfect for relaxing on the golden sands of Mirissa or Unawatuna, where vibrant marina life awaits those who enjoy snorkelling and diving. The cultural heart of Sri Lanka, Kandy, with its stunning Temple of the Tooth and botanical gardens, is best explored during the cooler months. As the weather warms from April to September, it is an ideal time to visit the lush tea plantations in the central highlands, such as those around Nuwara Eliya. Whether it is wildlife safaris in Yala, climbing Sigiriya, or cooking Sri Lankan dishes, the country offers unforgettable experiences for families, couples, and solo travellers alike.

  • Discover the cultural treasures of Sri Lanka by visiting ancient cities like Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa to explore historical temples, royal palaces, and impressive ruins.
  • Experience the green landscapes of Sri Lanka’s hill country by taking a scenic train ride through tea plantations and mist-covered mountains. Visit charming towns like Ella and Nuwara Eliya for incredible views and cool climates.
  • Relax on the beaches of the island’s southern coast, including renowned spots like Mirissa and Unawatuna. Enjoy sunbathing, swimming, and water sports in stunning surroundings.
  • Explore the vibrant city of Colombo with its bustling markets, colonial architecture, and lively cultural scene with a mix of modern attractions and traditional experiences.
