This morning you will be transferred to Deltota near Kandy for your 3 night stay at Taylors Hill. Along the way stop to visit The Temple of the Tooth, Botanical Gardens or Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage.
Spend the day with a visit to Mahiyangana, home to the world’s most primitive tribes, the Veddhas. Perhaps take a trip to Knuckles Mountain Range or Udawattekele Sanctuary, both rich in dense forests and abundant flora and fauna.
Spend the day at leisure, doing as little or as much as you like. Choose from a wide variety of pursuits, including hiking, biking and taking an excursion to Horton Plains or Adam’s Peak. Horton Plains form an undulating plateau over 2,000 metres high and feature the impressive sheer drop, the “World’s End”.
Today continue your journey by heading to coastal Galle for your 2 night stay at The Fort Bazaar, located within the walls of the mighty fort. UNESCO has declared the old part of the city that lies within the fort as a World Heritage Site. Witness the excellent view of the ancient harbour by walking on the ramparts from Point Utrecht bastion to Flag Rock bastion.
Enjoy a day at leisure, exploring the fort with its shops, cafés and restaurants, venturing outside to the local villages or simply unwinding with high tea on the verandah at The Fort Bazaar.
Following breakfast at the hotel depart for Wadduwa, staying for 4 nights at Reef Villa & Spa. On the way to the hotel you can take a boat safari along the Madu Ganga river. Meander downstream, passing mangroves, islands and maybe even monkeys eating fruit from the trees.
Take the opportunity to unwind after an exciting tour and spend these days at leisure, perhaps relaxing by the pool, taking long walks on the beach or enjoying a rejuvenating spa treatment at the resort.
Today you will be collected from the resort and transferred to Colombo Airport for your flight to London.
