Heritage and Heights: A Sri Lankan Adventure
Take a 15-day journey through Sri Lanka, a country renowned for its natural beauty, rich history, and vibrant culture. You’ll explore numerous UNESCO World Heritage Sites and experience the warmth of Sri Lankan hospitality.
Begin in Negombo, a fishing town with a fascinating colonial history. It was once a battleground for the British, Dutch, and Portuguese, all competing for control of the lucrative cinnamon trade. The town’s old Catholic churches, inspired by the colonizers, still stand today.
Travel back in time to the historic cities of Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa, where you can explore centuries-old stupas, temples, and ruins. In Sigiriya, climb the famous rock fortress, once only accessible through the jaws of a carved stone lion. While much of the lion has eroded, the majestic paws still guard this UNESCO site.
Take a trek through the Knuckles Mountain Range to experience Sri Lanka’s lush wilderness. Walk along scenic trails that wind through traditional villages, tea plantations, and terraced rice paddies. After your hike, relax in the vibrant city of Kandy, spending the night in a cozy guesthouse.
Meet the farmers behind Sri Lanka’s world-famous tea plantations and explore wildlife sanctuaries teeming with birds and elephants. In Jaffna, engage with friendly locals and learn about Sri Lankan art, folklore, and cuisine.
End your journey at the Gal Vihara in Polonnaruwa, home to three massive stone Buddha sculptures, and marvel at the craftsmanship of ancient Sri Lankan culture.
This 15-day adventure through Sri Lanka offers a perfect blend of history, nature, and cultural discovery, promising an unforgettable experience.
