Summary
Commencing the journey from the coastal city of Negombo will give you a glimpse of Sri Lanka’s beaches and get you prepped up for the East Coast. On the way you get to view the spectacular vistas of the central hills and see the majestic elephants at play at an orphanage made solely for them. Our tour takes you to Kandy, with its many attractions such as the Temple of the Tooth Relic as a visit to the island cannot be complete without visiting the last kingdom of Sri Lanka. Thereafter, it’s the popular East Coast destination Pasikudah, known to have one of the longest stretches of shallow reef coastline in the world. The uniqueness of Pasikudah is its relatively weak current and shallow depth which makes it possible to wade in for several kilometres in the crystal clear waters of the Indian Ocean. Pasikudah Beach is a hot spot with award winning hotels being part of our special tour. Heading back from the splendour of the coast, you get to visit the ancient ruins of a bygone era and the famous Lion Rock or Sigiriya in the vernacular with its world famous frescoes, ancient ponds and ruins of a palace built on a rock. The end of your journey is spent in the business hub of Colombo which has its own history to boast about and you get to catch a glimpse of it at the Colombo Museum, Dutch Hospital and a tour of the city. Don’t miss the opportunity to shop for souvenirs or more at the shopping malls of this old colonial city which has a rich past and booming future.
With this 11 Day tour, we focus on variety visiting beaches, kingdoms, mountains, tea plantations and more. Join our tour and get ready for some Eternal Summers in the East.
