About this experience

Spend 14 days tracing Sri Lanka's most rewarding contrasts — ancient kingdoms in the Cultural Triangle, misty hill-country roads, and long stretches of Indian Ocean coastline. Your private vehicle takes you from storied rock fortresses and cave temples to colonial-era towns and palm-fringed beaches, with an English-speaking chauffeur guide on hand to put every site in context. All transport, chauffeur accommodation, taxes, and service charges are covered from the moment you're picked up.

This is a fully private tour, so the pace is yours. Note that hotel accommodation, entrance fees, flights, and personal expenses are arranged separately. Lakpura handles the road logistics so you can focus on what's in front of you — whether that's a dagoba catching the morning light or your first sight of the southern coast.
