After a leisurely morning, it is off to your base in the cultural triangle for the next few days – the superb Ulugalla. On route you might choose to stop at the Aukana Standing Buddha – one of ancient Sri Lanka’s crowning artistic achievements and the largest standing Buddha in the country.

Day 4 anuradhapura

A full day tour of Anuradhapura today. Close by to Ulugalla, Anuradhapura was a huge city 2500 years ago, perhaps the largest in the world at the time and its legacy is a huge array of incredible monuments.

If you have time, you can also visit Mihintale, where Buddhism was introduced to Sri Lanka.

Day 7 kandy & surroundings

We’d suggest a visit to Peradenniya Botancial Gardens today. Golfers should definitely consider a round at Victoria Golf Course – surely one of the world’s most beautiful settings for a round.

First Class Observation Carriage train tickets to Hatton today for the 2 hour, scenic journey up in the higher hill country.

On arrival, your chauffeur/guide will meet you with your luggage and transfer you to your Tea Trails bungalow.

We have not included any specific activities here as there is plenty laid on through the Tea Trails, such as the tea tasting and tea factory visit included within the cost. Also well worth taking advantage of the laid out walks between the bungalows and you can eat and drink at any one of the 4 as part of your inclusive deal.

Day 11 colombo

Transfer to Colombo today for some shopping, a guided Colombo City Walk (which gets you under the skin of this otherwise seemingly impenetrable city) and perhaps a meal in one of the very fine restaurants.

Overnight in the lovely Park Street Hotel.

Your chauffeur guide will drop you at the airport in good time for the short flight from  Colombo to Male.

Quite simply, the Four Seasons Kuda Huraa is one of the world’s very best hotels. You won’t regret it.

 Fly home on Day 16.
