discovering sri lanka

DAYS 1 - 3 Start with a few nights at Ulagalla Resort in Sri Lanka's Cultural Triangle where you can visit Anuradhapura, cycle to the local village, ride on the hotel's horses and naturally, enjoy delicious local cuisine.

DAYS 4 - 6 After an early start, break your journey to climb Sigiriya Rock and visit the cave temples of Dambulla before arriving at the zen retreat of Santani Wellness Resort. If you can peel yourselves away from the outstanding views from your balcony, yoga classes, massages and hikes await.

DAYS 7 - 9 Today's mode of transport is the iconic train journey from Kandy to Ella. Your driver will await you at the station to whisk you off to Nine Skies, a stylish refurbished five-bedroom tea bungalow in the hill country.

DAYS 10 - 11 Eyes-peeled, your journey continues to Yala National Park for leopard spotting (as well as elephants, sloth bears, sambars, jackals, spotted dear, peacocks and crocodiles) and a stay at the perfect post-safari lodge, Chena Huts.

DAYS 12 - 13 Finish this part of your trip with a night in the city and wander with locals at Galle Face Green whilst trying some Sri Lankan delicacies.
