Your private journey through Sri Lanka begins in Negombo, where you can settle in and recover from your international journey at a relaxed pace before travelling inland towards the island’s celebrated Cultural Triangle. In Sigiriya, discover the magnificent Sigiriya Rock Fortress, a UNESCO World Heritage Site rising dramatically above the surrounding plains, before continuing through Dambulla, home to its remarkable ancient cave temples.

From the Cultural Triangle, travel south through Kandy, visiting the revered Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic, before ascending into Sri Lanka’s mist-covered central highlands. Your journey then slows among the rolling tea estates of Hatton, where you can experience the heritage of Ceylon tea and enjoy the peaceful landscapes surrounding Ceylon Tea Trails.

Next, descend from the cool highlands into the wild landscapes of Yala, where two private 4x4 safari experiences offer the opportunity to search for leopards, elephants and other native wildlife with an experienced naturalist. From the wilderness, continue along the southern coast to Galle, concluding your journey within the atmospheric streets and historic ramparts of UNESCO-listed Galle Fort.
