2 Day Sri Lanka Private Tour – Ella, Kandy & Udawalawa Safari | Airport Drop
Tour Overview
Experience an unforgettable 2-day journey through Sri Lanka’s wildlife, hill country and cultural capital. On day one, visit the Udawalawa Elephant Transit Home before heading to Ella to explore Nine Arch Bridge, Little Adam’s Peak, Flying Ravana and Ravana Falls. On day two, travel through the scenic hills to Ramboda Falls and Ambuluwawa Tower before discovering the sacred Temple of the Tooth in Kandy and Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage. This private tour ends conveniently at the airport or your hotel.
Two days is enough to link Ella's highland icons with Kandy's sacred heritage when a private chauffeur handles the mountain roads. Day one combines Udawalawe Elephant Transit Home ethical viewing of rescued calves with Nine Arches Bridge, Little Adam's Peak, optional Flying Ravana zip-lining and Ravana Falls. Day two descends through Ramboda Falls and the spiral Ambuluwawa Tower before Kandy's Temple of the Sacred Tooth and a Pinnawala elephant stop en route to the airport or your hotel. Sundown Tours times train viewpoints and hikes to beat midday crowds while you travel in an air-conditioned vehicle with unlimited mileage. Accommodation is optional; entrance fees and meals stay at your discretion. Ideal as a pre-flight mini circuit from the south coast or a focused add-on between beach days and departure.
