Trip Highlights

Why you'll love this trip

  • Spot elephants from an open roof jeep on a safari in Minneriya. Plus, climb up the ancient Lion Rock in Sigiriya for panoramic views of the jungle.

  • Meet the locals in the off-the-beaten-track village of Heeloya. Get the whole family involved in the kitchen when you prepare lunch with the villagers, hearing their stories and learning about local village life.

  • Cruise down the Madampe River and soak in the beauty of the complex ecosystems surrounding you. Then, the kids can get their hands dirty by helping to plant mangroves, giving back to these highly threatened ecosystems.

  • Take a scenic train ride from Nuwara Eliya to Ella, passing through bright green landscapes of tea plantations and taking you to a viewpoint overlooking the Nine Arch Bridge.

  • End your adventure in the coastal city of Galle, where you and your family can spend time on the sandy beaches, cooling off and unwinding after a week of making lifelong travel memories!
