Colonial Heritage Route
TAILOR-MADE TOUR OF SRI LANKA
This 8-night tour starts with a two-night stay in Colombo. Explore the capital with a guided tour followed by free time. Visit the Dutch Church at Wolfendal or the Hindu Temple at Sea Street. Then your driver-guide takes you inland towards Kandy, a bustling town of colonial buildings and ancient religious symbols. Visit the Temple of the Tooth and the botanical gardens at Peradeniya. A free day in this area gives you change to explore the history of tea and this region in more depth with perhaps a visit to the Loolecondera tea estate. Then head south through the hills of high tea country, stopping at Nuwara Eliya, known as Little England. There is a full day here to explore, perhaps with a visit to a tea factory, tea plantations, a hike in the hills above Nuwara Eliya or Hakgala Botanical gardens. Your final two-night stop is in the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Galle. Stay within the Galle Fort itself with its myriad narrow streets, ramparts, and intriguing architecture.
