Sri Lanka Adventure

DAY 1 DEPART THE UK

Depart The UK for Colombo, Sri Lanka

DAYS 2 & 3 THE NOTARY’S HOUSE   

On arrival at Colombo Airport, transfer to your boutique hotel where you will be for a two-night stay. A top spot for a leisurely start to the holiday; splash in the pool, explore the grounds, or sit back with a G&T and enjoy the hospitality.

DAYS 4-6  Jim’s Farm

With your chauffeur-guide, you’ll transfer to Jim's Farm, a unique place to stay midway between the ancient sites of The Cultural Triangle and the city of Kandy. During your stay you’ll learn about the exotic crops as you explore the farm, meet the farming families and taste delicious home-cooked food.

On a visit to the Cultural Triangle you’ll the iconic Sigiriya Rock Fortress and typical rural life, travel around the surrounding villages by various modes of transport - tuk-tuk, bike, on foot or even tractor.

DAYS 7 & 8 THE KNUCKLES MOUNTAINS

Head towards the Knuckles Mountains to join a local specialist guide for a 4-hour trek to The Abode where you will stay for two nights. The whole experience is a one-of-a-kind adventure. The accommodation is extremely basic though the warmth and hospitality of the villagers is a joy. This experience will be one of the best things you have ever done if the family has a genuine quest for discovery and adventure.  There is very little middle ground as enjoyment requires full participation and enthusiasm. We have heard of the most jaded western teenagers having a life-changing experience here, but it is not for the faint-hearted.

DAYS 9 & 10 KITULGALA

Transfer to Kandy for the scenic train ride to Hatton. On arrival, you’ll transfer to your resort in Kitulgala. This area is known as Sri Lanka’s adventure capital so one of the highlights during your stay will be navigating the rapids on a white-water rafting trip.

Day 11 Udawalawe National Park

An early start today for the road journey to Udawalawe National Park. 

A private afternoon safari through the dry grassland and scrub forest of Udawalawe provides one of the best opportunities to view wild elephants. In the company of a local safari guide, you'll travel by 4WD jeep in search of some of the largest gatherings of elephants in the country, as well as wild boar, sambar and leopards.

DAY 12 - 14 THE DEEP SOUTH

From Uda Walawe you will head to your beachside resort. We think the quieter palm-fringed beaches of Tangalle are a great choice but can talk you through the various options.

You’ll have a few days to spend at your leisure, where you can chill out around your hotel or on the coastline, or perhaps explore inland where you’ll find tropical vegetation amongst temples and idyllic villages.

Day 15 Colombo

Transfer from Tangalle to Colombo for the last night of your holiday. Sri Lanka’s vibrant capital is home to a delicious array of street foods, brilliant shopping opportunities and fascinating history. If time permits we recommend a tuk-tuk tour on which you’ll weave through the busy, commercial area of Kotahena.
