I have tried to keep the prices at the minimum still have a lot of focus on all possible experience categories (Nature, adventure, relaxation, culture, food & beaches) Are you planning to stay more than 11 days in Sri Lanka? Perfect. After our round trip, you will know where you would like to spend the rest of your time in Sri Lanka. In most cases, it is the Southern part. That's exactly where our trip ends. The accommodation will be mixed categories. Most part of the trip would be a group experience. However, the plan is to also let you have few days to explore yourself. Sri Lanka has lot of culture, adventure, pristine beaches, amazing food and lot more to explore. We will try our best to have a bit of everything in our trip. After arriving in Colombo Int. Airport we will spent 1-2 nights in Colombo. Colombo is normally the transit point upon arrival or before departure. After Colombo we will go towards North central to see the wonders of Sri Lanka. The historical capital to the still standing thousands of years old ruines. After seeing the historical wonders, we will be visiting Ella (The central highlands of Sri Lanka) Ella is known for the beautiful views, Tea Plantations, the train tracks and some breathtaking hikes. The night/early morning temperature sometimes can get bit chilly, so take one sweater :) While in Ella, we will do a sunrise hike, a waterfall/stream exploration and visit some nice cafes. After few days in Ella, We will travel towards the south. On the way, we will visit one of the best wildlife spot. the Udawala National Park Colombo -Financial Capitol Dambulla /Cave temple - UNESCO site. Sigiriya/Lions rock - UNESCO site. Polonnaruwa /Historical capital of Sri Lanka - UNESCO site. (If time allows) Ella - Tea Plantatations and the breathtaking views.

I am Delon Jansen, I was born in Sri Lanka and lived there until I was 18. I left the Island and lived in several countries Asia,Europe, Africa & the Middle east, until I started calling Vienna my second Home. The last 16 years of my life was spent travelling and living an expat life, which I enjoy to date. I love the feeling of not belonging anywhere but belonging everywhere. I travel to Sri Lanka approximately 3-4 times a year and I know Sri Lanka inside-out.
Accommodation will be a mix. some Glamping to enjoy the nature as it is. some city hotels to experience the chaotic Island life and Bazars, Also some luxury whenever possible. If the group is big enough we have the option to rent a large villa or a whole hostel when possible :) Join me for an adventure.
