Description : Classic Value

This tour encompasses much of the island - taking in the ancient cities, the hill country and a beach stay. Transport is with your own chauffeur-guided car, which will remain with you for most of the tour. You can be as flexible as you like and do what you want, when you want: its your holiday! We have included the main sites and all the entrances but there is much more to find and discover along the way.

The tour begins with a night close to the airport to allow you to relax and settle in. Once rested, you will be driven up to the Cultural Triangle to take in the cultural and historic sights such as Sigiriya Rock Fortress, Dambulla Cave Temples and the ancient city of Polonnaruwa, as well as a full day safari in Minneriya National Park. Moving south towards the centre of the island, you will visit the town of Kandy, including the sacred Temple of the Tooth and the Peradeniya Botanical Gardens before moving up to the Hill Country with a visit to a working tea plantation and Rawana Falls. You will round off your trip with a stay on the south coast for four nights by the beautiful white sand beaches.

This tour includes the highlights of Sri Lanka, staying in excellent value accommodation throughout.

DAY 1

Depart London Heathrow for Colombo, Sri Lanka.

DAY 2

Arrive in Colombo and meet your chauffeur-guide who will remain with you until you arrive at your beach hotel. You will be driven to St Lachlan, a quiet boutique hotel where you can recover from the long flight.

DAYS 3, 4 & 5

You will drive north to the Cultural Triangle, staying at Kassapa Lions Rock for three nights. This is a great base for the many sites we have included here in the cultural triangle. Attractions include Sigiriya Rock Fortress, Dambulla Cave Temples, the ancient city of Polonnaruwa and the beautiful Minneriya National Park. Our flexible approach allows you to do as much or as little site-seeing as you like with your experienced chauffeur/guide.

DAYS 6 & 7

Moving south towards Kandy, you will stay for two nights at the centrally located Thilanka Hotel. Overlooking the lake and the nearby Temple of the tooth, this simple hotel is a great base for exploring Sri Lankas cultural capital.. A trip to Peradeniya Botancial Gardens is a must here and we also recommend the Udawatakelle Rainforest (its not every city which has a rainforest ten minutes walk from the train station!).

DAYS 8 & 9

After visits to both Rawana Falls and a working Tea factory, you will be keen to relax at The Planter's Bungalow. This great value property is set amongst a large tropical garden, offering peace, tranquillity and fantastic views out to the east of the country.

DAY 10

After your time in the hills you will stay for a night at the peaceful Hibiscus Garden, which is a decent base from which to do a safari into Yala National Park with its high leopard population.

DAYS 11, 12 & 13

You will then descend down to the south coast for a stay at the lovely cabana-style Palace Mirissa which overlooks one of Sri Lanka's prettiest bays for a few days of relaxation time.
