To kick things off, your driver will meet you at the airport and take you to the traditional fishing village of Negombo. The next day, you’ll head to Sri Lanka’s cultural hub, Kandy. Enjoy a tour of this pretty city and stroll around Kandy Lake, which King Sri Wickrama Rajasinghe famously built, before watching a traditional Kandyan performance in the evening. After feasting on a delicious breakfast, the following morning, make tracks for Sri Lanka’s Hill Country - home to renowned Nuwara Eliya. Surrounded by soaring mountains and lush tea plantations, you’ll have the chance to visit a tea factory where you can sample the country’s world famous Ceylon tea. Next up is Horton Plains National Park - due to foggy conditions here, it’s best to set off early. The plains are home to grasslands, cloud forests, and a variety of plants and animals and are set on a plateau that sits 2,000 metres above sea level. Elephant adventure? We’re all ears!
