Sri Lanka is a relatively small country rich in everything from culture to wildlife. This tour combines visits to craft producers and tea farmers with a first-hand insight into the ancient history, culture and people of this fascinating country. We travel from Colombo to Dambulla, and then onto Kandy visiting amazing ancient cities and temples and through some of Sri Lanka’s most varied and scenic locations. Travelling to the heart of the tea region, we visit a tea estate and meet some of the farmers who work there. We also see wildlife, not least elephants, and visit the southern coast before our onward journey to Marawila to meet the producers that work at Gospel House.
Our partners, Adventure Lanka are a locally owned company run by people with a passion for their country, its people and its environment. With a strong belief that all guests have an authentic yet responsible and sustainable experience of Sri Lanka, the guides are keen to share their knowledge and even teach you a few phrases in Sinhala to enable you to interact with the locals you meet.
