Upon arrival at Bandaranaike International Airport you will be met and transferred to Kandy, where you will begin your tour with 2 nights at Clove Villa.
Spend the day with a sightseeing tour of Kandy or leave to visit 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.
This morning you will be transferred to Hatton for your 3 night stay at Ceylon Tea Trails. Along the way you can call at the St. Clair and Devon Waterfalls, taking in the beautiful sight of the crashing waters.
Spend these days at leisure, doing as little or as much as you like. Choose from a wide variety of pursuits, including hiking, biking, white water rafting and taking an excursion to Horton Plains or Adams Peak. Horton Plains form an undulating plateau over 2000 metres high and feature the impressive sheer drop, the 'World's End'.
Today you will continue your journey, heading to coastal Galle where you will stay for 2 nights at Amangalla, 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 a drink on the terrace at Amangalla as you watch the world go by.
Following breakfast at the hotel you will depart for Wadduwa, staying for 3 nights at the 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.
