Sri Lanka Tours

Day 05: Kandy /  Nuwara Eliya

This morning leave your hotel after breakfast and head off to Nuwara Eliya. You will board the train at the Peradeniya railway station.

Board a local train for a journey through the hill country. A ride by local train to the little England is one of the most picturesque rail journeys in the world! You journey through dark tunnels on winding tracks, past the beautiful Devon & St Clair waterfalls to the home of the famous Ceylon Tea. The rolling mountains are a carpet of velvety green tea plantations, interspersed with gushing streams and tumbling waterfalls… no doubt a memorable experience! Arrive at the Nanu Oya railway station where you will be picked up by your chauffeur and proceed to your hotel in Nuwara Eliya. Please note – the train journey from Kandy to Nanu Oya will depend on the availability of seats. Kindly also note that the train tickets can only be confirmed 14 days prior to your travel date to Nanu Oya as the Railway Authority will only issue the tickets at this time. If tickets are unavailable you will travel by road. The train departure and journey time can be subject to delays. Overnight at Jetwing St Andrew’s (Superior Room)

Day 06: Nuwara Eliya

Early this morning at approx. 05.30 – 06:00, you will depart from your hotel for the drive to Horton Plains National Park (55km /approx. 1.5 hrs). It’s best to depart as early as possible as the mists build up as the day continues, obscuring the view from World’s End. We suggest you ask your hotel the night before if they can prepare a packed breakfast for your journey.

Horton Plains National Park sits on Sri Lanka's highest plateau at over 2100m above sea level in the central mountains and offers an astounding variety of scenery – from misty mountains to grasslands, from marshes to ice cold streams, lakes and waterfalls. The park is home to colourful butterflies, many species of birds and other wildlife including sambar deer, bear monkeys, barking deer, giant squirrels, fishing cats and wild boar. On your 2-3 hour hike (approx. 9km) you will stop at the beautiful ‘Bridal Veil’ Baker’s Falls and stop at the World’s End escarpment, where the plateau plunges almost 1000m in a sheer drop. If the weather is clear this spot affords spectacular views. This is a relatively easy hike but over uneven terrain with some steep sections. You should wear sensible footwear and take drinking water.

Drive back to your hotel around lunchtime and spend the rest of the afternoon at leisure.

Overnight at Jetwing St Andrew’s (Superior Room)

Day 07: Nuwara Eliya / Colombo

Today you will leave your hotel after breakfast and drive to Colombo for your final night in Sri Lanka.

With amazing cuisine and luxury hotels, Colombo has been earning itself a well-deserved reputation as a top destination for international travelers.

Colombo is a city with a rich history. Known to the Greeks, Arabs, and Chinese for over 2000 years because of its natural harbour and as a centre of trade, it was colonised by the Portuguese, the Dutch, and then the British between 1505 and 1948. Each colonial power left a distinctive mark and contributed greatly to the character of the city. On arrival, check-in and spend the rest of the day at leisure.
