Touring holidays of Sri Lanka

Luxury, tailor-made, touring holidays of Sri Lanka for individuals with a driver-guide. From 6 to 14 nights, including Cultural Triangle and Tea Country, Galle and the west coast.

Flights to Sri Lanka

Sri Lankan Airways operates daily flights to Colombo from London Heathrow. Most flights leave London in the evening and arrive about 13.00 hrs, returning at a similar time and arriving later that evening in London. Flying time is about 11 hours. There is economy and a business class cabin. Emirates is also an option for Sri Lanka with flights from London and other UK airports to Colombo via Dubai. Some adjustments to the itineraries may have to be made to accommodate the flight arrival and departure times in Colombo.

Driver-guide

Our touring holidays for individuals are accompanied by a driver-guide who will be with you throughout the touring part of the holiday. The driver is available every day to take you not only to included excursions but to other places that you decide between you that you want to visit. There is a daily mileage allowance that must not be exceeded. If you spend part of the tour in a beach resort, then the services of the driver-guide will not be included automatically. A transfer will be provided at the end of the beach stay to return you to Colombo.

Local flights in Sri Lanka

Cinnamon Air operate a scheduled air-taxi service from Colombo to destinations in Sri Lanka such as Sigiriya, Trincomalee, Batticoloa, Kandy, Bentota, Koggala, Dickwella and Hambantota. This can save you time, especially if you have been to Sri Lanka before and just want to reach a certain area, for example, Trincomalee which would take about 7 hours by car, or Hambantota which would take about 5 hours by car from Colombo.

Scenic train

There is a marvellous journey from Colombo to Tea Country by train, although most of our clients take the train for part of the journey, from Peradeniya near Kandy to Hatton or Nanuoya for Nuwara Eliya. The journey time from Peradeniya to Hatton is about 2 hrs 30 minutes with another 90 minutes on to Nanuoya. We always request seats in the 1st class observation car with reserved seats (this car may or may not be air-conditioned).
