When you arrive in Colombo, meet our tour guide who will assist you in an escorted transfer to Kandy. On the way, stop by the Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage, a prominent Sri Lankan site that houses around 65 orphan elephants. When you arrive in Kandy, check into your hotel. You are then free to spend the rest of the day as you like. Explore the surroundings on your own, go to the local market, connect with the residents, eat popular local dishes, and more. Stay in Kandy for the night.
On day 2, after breakfast, go touring in this UNESCO World Heritage Site. This historic city, located at 480 metres above sea level, is surrounded by the Kanda Udu Rata hills and is home to a multitude of tourist attractions. Kandy was the home of Sri Lanka's final independent monarchy. The day's attractions include the Botanical Gardens, the Temple of the Tooth, and the Peradeniya University campus. When in Kandy, take in the beautiful city views from Upper Lake Drive. Don't forget to go shopping at the local markets for some lovely silks, jewellery, gems, batiks, and handicrafts. Attend a Kandyan Dance performance in the evening (optional). Spend the night.
After breakfast, check out and arrange for an escorted transfer to Nuwara Eliya. Visit a tea estate and factory on the route. This location is recognised for being at the highest elevation in Sri Lanka and provides beautiful views of Piduruthalagala, the tallest peak at 2555 metres. Nuwara Eliya was founded by the British in the nineteenth century and was affectionately known as "Little England." Today's visitors come to enjoy the wonderful weather and to tour the colonial-style bungalows. Visit a factory and a plantation to see the entire tea brewing process. Nuwara Eliya is where you'll spend the night.
After an early breakfast, travel to Colombo, stopping at Devon Falls and St. Clair's on the way back. The largest city in Sri Lanka, it is a modern, vibrant, and bustling city that clings to its colonial past. When you arrive, check out the popular tourist attractions such as the influential residential Cinnamon Gardens, Fort and Pettah, the Galle Face Green, the local market for shopping, and so on. Spend the night.
After breakfast on the final day of the tour, take an assisted transfer to the airport to catch your flight home.
As previously stated, Colombo is not worth visiting unless you have EXTENDED time in Sri Lanka. You'd be better off spending your time in the mountains or on the coast. If you are determined to explore the city, 1-2 days is plenty of time to see everything worth seeing.
The term 'Colombo,' originally used by the Portuguese in 1505, is thought to be derived from the classical Sinhala name kolon thota, which means "port on the river Kelani."
This is a magical island, formerly known as Serendib, Taprobane, the Pearl of the Indian Ocean, and Ceylon. Sri Lanka is well-known for its high-quality tea, rubber, and coconut, as well as unusual spices.
Pinnawal, well-known for its elephant orphanage, has gained popularity among all visitors to Sri Lanka. This resort is known for its lush nature, deep history, and renowned architecture.
The Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage is open from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. However, the best time to visit the famed sanctuary is between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m., when the elephants come out to go about their daily activities. The elephants are fed at 9 a.m. and 1 p.m., and they are bathed from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.
On February 16, 1975, the late Hon. Minister Kalugalle realised the project, which is now home to 93 elephants.
The town of Nuwara Eliya is best known in Sri Lanka for its tea industry. Apart from the tea plantations, popular attractions in the town include Horton Plains National Park, Gregory Lake, and Sita Temple.
Nuwara Eliya is a popular halt on the famous hill train route between Ella and Kandy. If you take the train, you can get off at Nanu-Oya station and take a Tuk Tuk (3-wheeler) to your hotel. It's worth noting that Nuwara Eliya is a large city. So, before you book, double-check the location of your accommodation!
Nuwara Eliya is recognised for its temperate, chilly environment - it is Sri Lanka's coolest location.
