Sri Lanka Highlights Tour 14 days
from £1545 excl. flights* The island state of Sri Lanka has been known variously as ‘the Pearl of the Indian Ocean', the ‘Teardrop of India', the ‘Spice Island' for its native cinnamon, and ‘Ceylon' - the home of tea.

This makes Sri Lanka the ideal touring destination with only short transfers required between its very different and richly rewarding regions. On this new discovery holiday you will encounter 2000 year old civilisations, visit the ‘Temple of the Tooth' in Kandy, go out on the lake with local fishermen, travel through the tea-growing ‘hill country' to charming old colonial hill stations, discover spectacular scenery, and meet a host of wildlife including river crocodile, sea turtles and elephants and possibly even a leopard! From the ancient cities in the north to the palm-fringed beaches of the south, Sri Lanka is a true paradise island and this latest easy touring holiday will enable you to discover its many secrets. |

The Best of Sri Lanka 12 days
from £2149 incl. flights* ‘Sri Lanka’ translates in Sanskrit as ‘resplendent island’ but, before its modern name and evocative ‘Ceylon’, this country was known as ‘Serendib’, inspired through the 18th century writings of Horace Walpole the word ‘serendipity’ - the fortunate discovery of unexpected pleasures. This latter description is perhaps the most apt, as visitors to this teardrop-shaped Indian Ocean may happen across magnificent fortresses atop mountains of rock, romantically ruined ancient capitals in the midst of dense forest land, cool hillside villages producing the world’s best tea, elephants stalking beautiful national parks and gentle reminders of a British colonial past. |
