Elephant Orphanage at Pinnawala  Every day, the center is open from 8:30 to 6 p.m. The hours for bottle feeding are 9.15 a.m., 1.15 p.m., and 5 p.m., and the times for bathing at the river are 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. A well-liked tourist destination for both foreign and Sri Lankan visitors is the Pinnawala (Pinnawela) Elephant Orphanage.

Day 2

Kandy

Hiriwadunna Authentic Village Tour (Optional)
Your experience starts with an evening pickup from Habarana town, followed by a short drive to the peaceful Hiriwadunna Village—an escape from the city’s hustle. Begin your journey aboard a traditional bullock cart for a 15–30 minute ride along rustic, shrub-bordered paths. Take in the fresh air and scenic surroundings as you travel. The ride ends at a picturesque man-made reservoir, where colorful catamarans await. Enjoy a tranquil boat ride on the lily-covered waters. During the ride, the boatman will craft a charming hat from a lily pad and lotus flower for you to wear. As you glide across the water, you may spot distant views of Sigiriya and catch sight of unique birdlife. Upon reaching the other side, you'll visit a local villager’s home, where a traditional Sri Lankan lunch made from homegrown ingredients will be prepared. Climb into a treehouse used by farmers to watch over their fields and ward off elephants. Conclude the tour with a scenic tuk tuk ride back to the starting point.

Spice & Herbal Garden in Hingula
Located along the route from Colombo to Kandy, the Hingula spice garden in Mawanella offers a glimpse into Sri Lanka’s renowned spice cultivation. Here, you can see how spices like cinnamon, cardamom, pepper, cloves, and nutmeg are grown. The estate also produces and sells its own blend of Sri Lankan curry powder.

Cultural Dance Show – Kandy
Held in the heart of Kandy, this performance showcases the rich tradition of Kandyan dance, which has spread island-wide from its origins in the area. Inspired by dances once performed by Indian shamans, Kandyan dance is deeply embedded in Sri Lankan culture and features prominently in the grand Perahera processions. The show includes elegant performances that mimic the movements of animals and birds—derived from the ancient Kohomba Kapkariya ritual—as well as high-energy acts like spinning plates, daring acrobatics, and concludes with the breathtaking fire-walking finale.

Day 3

Nuwara Eliya

Relic from the Temple of Tooth  The Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic, also known as Sri Dalada Maligawa, is a Buddhist temple located in Kandy, Sri Lanka. The relic of Buddha's tooth is housed within the royal palace complex. Take in a traditional Sri Lankan dance performance.

 

Museum of Gems  The variety of Sri Lankan precious stones that are notorious throughout the world include rubies, white sapphires, yellow sapphires, cat's eyes, blue sapphires, and star sapphires. The establishment's simulated gem mine, which is used to find valuable gemstones in Sri Lanka, is one of its distinctive features.

 

After breakfast at the Kandy hotel, travel to Nuwara Eliya, where you can take in the breathtaking island's well-known waterfalls (Ramboda Falls), which are situated alongside the Ramboda Dam, as well as a visit to the tea factory and a live demonstration at Ramboda.

Day 4

Bentota

After breakfast at the hotel in Nuwara Eliya, head to Bentota to enjoy the picturesque island's well-known waterfalls, Devon and St. Clairs Falls. These waterfalls are situated along the Kotmale Oya, a tributary of the Mahaweli River, which flows through a tea estate and over three rock outcrops into a large pool, hence the falls' name. The waterfalls are made up of two falls: "Kuda Ella" (Sinhalese "The Lesser Fall"), which is 50 meters (160 feet) high and situated directly downstream of the main fall, and "Maha Ella" (Sinhalese "The Greater Fall"), which is 80 meters (260 feet) high and 50 meters (160 feet) wide. [4]  The 20th-highest waterfall in Sri Lanka is St. Clair's Falls. The Devon Falls is a waterfall in Sri Lanka that is located on the A7 highway, 6 km west of Talawakele in the Nuwara Eliya District. The falls bear the name of Devon, a pioneering English coffee planter whose plantation is located close to the falls. With a height of 97 meters, the waterfall is the 19th highest on the island.

 

At Kithulgala, white water rafting is a fun outdoor activity that involves navigating a river or other body of water in an inflatable raft. Whitewater or various levels of rough water are frequently used for this. It frequently involves dealing with risk and the requirement for teamwork.

Day 5

Bentota

Safari on the Maadu River  In addition to leaving you speechless, a windy riverboat ride will energize your senses and lift your spirits. The river, which is located in the Galle District, is a good illustration of the elaborate river channels that adorn the southwest coast of our nation. With a staggering 915 hectares and 23 islands home to almost 300 families, this site's ecological significance earned it the title of "Ramsar Wetland" in 2003, making it the second largest wetland in Sri Lanka. The Coast Conservation Department now manages the River Sanctuary as a Special Area Managed (SAM) and Tourist Development Area. Balapitiya is the home of the "Madu Ganga."

 

Kosgoda Turtle Hatchery You can learn a lot about Sri Lanka's groundbreaking sea turtle conservation project here, including why the country (and the village of Kosgoda in particular) is an ideal turtle nesting location, why the conservation project is necessary, and how locals run the project with the assistance of foreign volunteers.

Day 6
