You arrive in Sri Lanka, greeted with warmth and a genuine smile by your Ceylon Leisure Plans representative. A short drive takes you to Negombo, a seaside town known for its peaceful lagoon and fishermen’s sails dancing in the sunset. As you settle in, the air already feels different — quieter, softer, full of promise.
Overnight stay in Negombo.
After breakfast, the journey begins — into the heart of the island’s wilderness. Travel to Kitulgala, a lush rainforest village where rivers roar and adventure calls from every corner. This afternoon, feel your pulse quicken as you go white-water rafting on the Kelani River. Let the cold spray, the wild curves, and the deep laughter of the moment wash over you. As evening falls, the forest hums a lullaby.

Today is for the jungle. Take a guided nature trek through the Kitulgala rainforest. Discover hidden waterfalls, ancient caves, and plant life older than memory. Stop to swim beneath a forest canopy or zip-line through the trees like a bird in flight. Adventure here is not just in the thrill — but in how small you feel before such beauty.
Overnight stay in Kitulgala.
After breakfast, head north to the ancient kingdom of Sigiriya — home to the majestic Lion Rock fortress.
In the late afternoon, choose to climb Pidurangala Rock, the untamed sibling of Sigiriya. As you reach the summit, the island stretches beneath you like a silent poem, and the sky blazes with sunset light. This moment will stay with you. Forever.
Overnight stay in Sigiriya.
Spend your morning visiting a local village on a nature trail — meet the people whose lives are woven with the earth. In the afternoon, set off on a jeep safari in Minneriya or Kaudulla National Park, where herds of elephants gather in golden fields, and wild deer, peacocks, and langurs dance in their own rhythm.
To look into the eyes of a wild elephant is to touch something ancient and gentle.
Overnight stay in Sigiriya.
Today, leave the dry lands behind and drive into the cool mountains of Nuwara Eliya. On the way, visit Ramboda Falls and a tea plantation, where you’ll sip fresh Ceylon tea amid emerald hills. Arrive in “Little England”, where mist clings to gardens and the world feels slower — more poetic.
Overnight stay in Nuwara Eliya.
Before sunrise, head to Horton Plains National Park for a soul-stirring trek. Cross grasslands and cloud forests until you reach World’s End, a sudden cliff where the land falls into silence and sky. Here, you understand something powerful: how humbling it is to be part of something so vast.
Return to Nuwara Eliya filled with calm, clarity, and quiet joy.
Overnight stay in Nuwara Eliya.
After breakfast, travel south to Yala National Park — a land of sun-drenched plains and whispering trees. Here, the wild reigns. As you settle into your lodge, you’ll hear the call of birds, the movement of the breeze through dry leaves, and the distant hush of a world untouched by time.
Return to Nuwara Eliya filled with calm, clarity, and quiet joy.
Overnight stay near Yala..
Rise before the sun and enter Yala National Park for a morning safari — where leopards roam, elephants wander, and sloth bears hide among the rocks. Every turn is a story waiting to unfold. After the safari, continue to Mirissa, where the ocean meets the wild. Let the salt air kiss your skin and the waves sing you to rest.
Overnight stay in Mirissa
If time allows, embark on a final adventure: a whale watching tour — where blue whales and dolphins remind you just how extraordinary life is beneath the surface. Then, with a full heart and the scent of salt and earth still clinging to you, travel to the airport for your departure. This was not just a holiday. It was a journey into your own strength. A reminder of nature’s truth, and the quiet power of being fully alive.
Have a safe flight!
