South Asia
Sri Lanka
Forts, beaches & tea hills
Overview
A compact island that contains ancient kingdoms, colonial forts, wildlife-filled national parks, and some of the most beautiful beaches in Asia.
Sri Lanka punches far above its size. In two weeks you can stand beneath a 2,000-year-old stupa in Anuradhapura, watch elephants in Yala, sip single-origin tea on a misty Nuwara Eliya estate, and kayak through Mirissa's mangroves. The island moves at a gentle rhythm that its visitors tend to adopt within 48 hours. Our itineraries are designed to let that happen.

Highlights
The Cultural Triangle
Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa, and Sigiriya — three UNESCO World Heritage Sites, each a different chapter in a 2,500-year story. Sigiriya's Lion Rock at sunrise is among Asia's finest sights.
Tea Country
Nuwara Eliya and the Ella hills — colonial bungalows repurposed as boutique hotels, private tea estate tours, and train journeys through emerald valleys that look like another century entirely.
Yala & the Leopards
Sri Lanka has the world's highest density of wild leopards. A private jeep with our naturalist guide in Yala increases your sighting probability considerably over the standard tourist circuit.
Galle Fort
The Dutch-built fort city on the southern tip. Churches, boutiques, and restaurants inside 17th-century ramparts, with the Indian Ocean on three sides.
Sample Itinerary

Anuradhapura's sacred city at dawn, Sigiriya at first light before the heat, and Dambulla's cave temples.
Kandy & Tea Hills
The Temple of the Tooth, a Kandyan dance performance, then the scenic train to Nuwara Eliya and a private tea estate stay.
Yala & South Coast
Two dawn safaris in Yala, then Galle Fort, Mirissa beach, and a whale-watching excursion on the way out.
