Itinéraire jour par jour

Every day is visible upfront, with the rhythm and main experiences clear before you request a quote.

Jour1

Arrival in Colombo to Sigiriya

Airport meet-and-greet, countryside transfer, hotel check-in

Your guide meets you at Bandaranaike International Airport and takes you directly to Sigiriya. The first day is intentionally light so the itinerary starts from a rested baseline.

Meals: Dinner

Jour2

Sigiriya Rock Fortress and Dambulla Cave Temple

Two UNESCO landmarks in one day

An early climb at Sigiriya avoids heat and crowds, followed by an afternoon at Dambulla’s cave temples with time for context, photos, and slower exploration.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Jour3

Polonnaruwa Ancient City

Sri Lanka’s medieval royal capital

A full-day heritage program through the ruins, audience halls, and iconic Buddha sculptures of Polonnaruwa, paced around walking comfort and shade breaks.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Jour4

Kandy and Temple of the Tooth

Sacred relic temple and evening cultural performance

You move south through Sri Lanka’s interior to Kandy, with optional spice-garden stops before an evening focused on ritual culture and Kandyan dance.

Meals: Breakfast, Dinner

Jour5

Scenic train to Ella

Tea-country rail journey and Nine Arch Bridge

One of the strongest scenic days in the country: rail through misty tea estates, then sunset viewpoints and a relaxed arrival in Ella.

Meals: Breakfast, Dinner

Jour6

Ella and tea country

Tea factory visit, viewpoints, flexible free time

A mix of light activity and slower travel. The day can lean into viewpoints, tea production, short hikes, or a quieter hill-country pace depending on the group.

Meals: Breakfast, Dinner

Jour7

Return to Colombo and departure

Road transfer, final stops if timing allows

You return west with optional batik or gem workshop stops before airport drop-off timed against your departure window.
