The tiny tropical island of Sri Lanka is home to some of the finest national parks of the subcontinent making it a wildlife enthusiasts paradise.
Covering the cream of the island’s ancient sites and the site of the island’s famous “elephant gathering” at Minneriya, this short, introductory tour of Sri Lanka is the one we generally recommend to first-time visitors who are more interested in history and culture than flopping under the palms on a tropical beach.
Experience a different side to this wonderful island. This small group tour heads off the beaten track to the north and the Jaffna peninsular, an area left battle-scarred by a fierce civil war. We explore the sun-baked and windswept isolated islands of Mannar and Delft where wild ponies roam the landscape.
Little can rival Sri Lanka’s variety. From rice paddies, high grasslands and emerald-green tea estates, to dense forest and golden tropical beaches, the Island of Serendipity is renowned for its natural beauty, rich wildlife and fascinating culture.
