Tour Plan

Day 01: Kandy
We start off by heading towards Kandy, the cultural hub of the Island. Kandy housed the last throne in Sri Lanka of which the palace and the surroundings still stand proudly in the city center.This is of utmost cultural and religious importance to Sri Lankans and Buddhists living world wide. In the evening stroll in the vibrant, ancient roads towards the Temple of the Tooth Relic. Participate in the evening ceremony to have the best out of the visit.
Day 02: Kandy

Highlight – An early morning excursion to the Ambuluwawa Tower will be the best way to start your day in Kandy. This is another photographer’s paradise. The narrow spiral staircase stands more than 3500 feet above sea level, giving you a complete 360 degrees view of the surrounding mountains and plains.

On the way to the city, visit the Royal Botanic Garden in Peradeniya which will be yet another wonderful experience.This was established in 1821, six years after the final occupation of the Kandyan Kingdom by the English. This is home for more than 4000 species of plants, including orchids, spices, medicinal plants and palm trees.

In the evening, visit a unique Gem store to learn about the gem and jewelry making process. Your journey will begin at the gem mine. Complete with life-like models and ambient sound effects, the mine will help you understand the effort and extent of labor that is required, in the quest to find the gem stones.

Later in the evening enjoy a Cultural Dance show. This is performed by the Kandy Lake Club which was founded in 1982 with a view to bringing together all the dance types of Sri Lanka to a single platform

Day 03: Colombo

Highlight – Today we leave Kandy for Colombo. En route we visit the Elephant Freedom Project to enjoy a couple of hours with a gentle giant. It is a wonderful sight to see unchained elephants roaming freely, enjoying their best life. Surrounded by many elephant riding places, they make the difference by not promoting elephant rides which is why we love this small, family run project.. Accompany an elephant on walks while learning about them, bathe and feed them while not missing out on the amazing photo opportunities.

If time permits you can visit the Pinnawala elephant orphanage, its museum and the Open Zoo.

Reach Colombo in the evening and check in to the hotel to relax after a long day. Colombo is home for hundreds of impeccable, vibrant cafes and restaurants. Choose your last dinner in Sri Lanka carefully, from a large variety of options available in Colombo. If you’re up for a street food tour in Colombo, this is your best time for it.

Day 04: Departure

Today you bid farewell to the wonder of Asia. On your way to the airport stop in Colombo for last minute shopping to take home some tangible memories from paradise island.

If time allows you can enjoy the Colombo city tour which covers Pettah markets, Red Mosque, Gangarama temple, Lotus tower, Galle face and the Port City.
