Four days is the sweet spot when you want Sri Lanka's greatest hits without a full-week commitment. This private round tour links the sacred lake city of Kandy, Ella's misty ridges and Nine Arches Bridge, a Yala National Park jeep safari for elephants and leopards, and the colonial charm of Galle Fort on the south coast all with one English-speaking chauffeur and unlimited mileage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this 4-day tour start from Colombo or only the airport?

Both work. We can pick you up at Bandaranaike International Airport or any Colombo/West Coast hotel and drop you at the airport or your preferred exit point on Day 4.

Is Yala National Park always open on the itinerary?

Yala closes briefly for maintenance each year, usually around September. If your dates coincide, we substitute Udawalawe or another park with strong elephant sightings at no change to the tour structure.

Does the price include hotels and safari jeep fees?

Half-board hotel accommodation and your private vehicle with driver are included. National park entrance tickets, safari jeep hire and activity fees are paid locally so you can tailor optional extras.
