12 Day Wildlife & Culture of Sri Lanka

12 Day Wildlife & Culture of Sri Lanka
Discover a blend of Sri Lanka’s exotic wildlife and authentic cultural experiences on this privately guided journey around the island. Explore the country’s finest national parks, visit steamy towns steeped in colonial history and discover the ancient gems of the Cultural Triangle.

After arriving in Colombo head inland to Sigiriya, the heart of Sri Lanka’s famed Cultural Triangle. Climb to the top of the age-old rock fortress; enjoy spectacular views of the lush countryside beneath you and tour the ruins of structures that once graced the summit. Your adventure continues as you transfer to Kandy. Here, shop for exotic spices at a local market and wander around the town’s characterful neighborhoods. In Gal Oya, a walk with a Vedda Chief offers you an exceptional insight into the culture of the forest-dwelling, indigenous people of Sri Lanka. You will also set out on a private boat and jeep safari, where you may catch sights of crocodiles, or even wild elephants swimming in between the islands. Head to Yala National Park where you’ll stay at a tented safari camp, and embark on multiple jungle expeditions in search of leopards, elephants, sloth bears and more. In Galle, accompanied by your private guide, tour the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Fort. Walk around the 17th century Dutch ramparts and gaze out over the magnificently blue Bay of Galle. This is the authentic Sri Lanka you’ve been seeking.
