Sri Lanka: Wonders & Wildlife – Premium Adventure

Sri Lanka: Wonders & Wildlife – Premium Adventure
From mighty Sigiriya to the leopard-ruled plains of Yala, discover the heart and soul of this extraordinary island
Sri Lanka is a wonderland for adventurers: Buddhist temples and colonial architecture; tea plantations and spice gardens; safari parks and palm-fringed beaches. Book this Premium trip to explore it beyond the typical tourist track. We join a family to cook traditional curries (which we share with our hosts and local monks) and explore Gal Oya with a chief from the forest-dwelling Veddha community. Of course, there are a few highlights we couldn’t miss, including the rock fortress of Sigiriya and safari in Yala National Park, and we’ve scheduled downtime in beachside on the south coast for a chance to kick back and relax.
