Sri Lanka: Leopard Safaris, Tea Highlands & Ancient Temples
11 days
Starts Colombo, Sri LankaEnds Negombo, Sri Lanka
About this trip
Sri Lanka rarely does one thing at a time. In Yala, leopards move through the undergrowth as if daring you to look away, while up in Ella and Nuwara Eliya, tea terraces climb into the mist and the pace slows to a crawl. Ancient temples, sun-warmed coastal towns, and home-cooked curry round out an island that somehow fits several countries' worth of character into one.
Highlights
- ✦Track leopards through Yala National Park's dense wilderness
- ✦Climb into Ella and Nuwara Eliya's misty tea-covered highlands
- ✦Step inside ancient temples and fortresses at UNESCO sites
- ✦Wander sun-warmed coastal towns along Sri Lanka's southern shore
- ✦Cook and share a traditional meal during a village visit
