Elephants, Boats & Buddhas
Starting your journey on this diverse tropical island, you head inland to Habarana to climb Sigiriya Rock and explore unspoilt tropical woodland on elephant-back. You can also discover the lush countryside by bike (optional). Leaving Habarana, you have the unique opportunity to watch (or help!) local villagers with their early morning fish catch and (season permitting) ride to islands in Parakrama Lake on a fisherman’s catamaran. Here you may see ibis, cormorants and other birds. Driving south to Kandy you can visit the famous Temple of the Tooth and botanical gardens. There’s also the opportunity for white water rafting (optional).
Jungles & Tropical Beaches
Following a drive through stunning mountains you’ll embark on a jungle trek and canoe ride on the Kelani River. Climbing ever higher into the dramatic hill country, you’ll experience the colonial atmosphere of Bandarawela, before descending to stay overnight on the edge of Uda Walawe NP. Here you’ll go on a jeep safari before visiting an elephant orphanage at feeding time. Your trip culminates with a relaxing three-night stay on the tropical, sandy beaches of the Indian Ocean.
