Sri Lanka

Rock temples, hot springs, wild national park reserves and beaches are among some of the things the North of Sri Lanka has to offer. A 15-day adventure tour will provide ample opportunity to explore this wild, colorful, and unique region that has profound Indian influences, following the 30-year civil war between LTTE Terrorists and the Sri Lankan Army that ended in 2009. The North of Sri Lanka is a new area after the war, and accommodation is quite basic. Reconstruction of the war-torn region now harbors monumental war remains and exquisitely colorful, sometimes untouched, picturesque landscapes that supply some of the freshest produce of chillies, onions, bananas and mangoes. However, it is important to understand that it is a developing region so don’t expect five-star service. Do expect memories that will last a lifetime.

This itinerary is an example. It’s designed to inspire you and provide you with thoughtfully curated ideas. You can choose to do this exact itinerary or completely personalize it. All trips are 100% bespoke.

Highlights

  • Remote Island Escapes: Unwind on Sri Lanka's deserted northern beaches and islets, including Mannar and Trincomalee.
  • Wilpattu National Park: The largest and one of the oldest national parks in the country, a unique feature of Wilpattu is the presence of natural lakes known as "Willu," which are sand-rimmed basins that fill with rainwater. Wilpattu is particularly noted as one of best places in the world for leopard-spotting.
  • Ancient Buddhist Relics: Lord Buddha himself traveled through Sri Lanka and you can follow his footsteps at Jaffna's Kadurugoda Temple, Arankele Forest Monastery, and Kandy's Temple of the Tooth (said to house a relic of Buddha's own tooth).
