Sri Lanka Tour
Island Bliss: 3-Day Yala, Ella & Sigiriya Tour
3 Days / 2 Nights · 6–8 travelers · Pickup 3:30 a.m.
Three action-packed days capturing the very best of Sri Lanka. Day one starts with an early-morning safari in Yala National Park — elephants, leopards and wild beauty — then cools off with a swim at the spectacular 220-metre Diyaluma Waterfall before overnighting in Ella. Day two is hill-country heaven: the Nine Arch Bridge, a scenic mountain train ride through tea plantations, Little Adam's Peak and Nuwara Eliya's colonial charm. Few three-day itineraries anywhere in Asia pack in this much variety.
Day three blends nature and heritage: breakfast with elephants at the Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage, the Ambuluwawa Tower, Kandy's Royal Botanical Gardens, the Golden Temple of Dambulla and a final climb up Sigiriya or Pidurangala Rock. Two nights' hotel accommodation with breakfast, all entrance fees, transport and guide included. Expect early starts, big views and that blissful tiredness only a great adventure brings. From $340 — book this ultimate three-day journey now.
