Culture, Safari and Beach Sri Lanka Honeymoon
This comprehensive tour of Sri Lanka really lets the country show off its best bits. It’s a honeymoon with everything-in-one. Discover the island’s heritage in Kandy and the Cultural Triangle, chug past its picturesque hill country in a vintage train, go on safari in Yala National Park and enjoy the barefoot beach bliss of Sri Lanka’s south coast. At each stop you will be pampered in luxury hotels and savor the delicious Sri Lankan cuisine.
The ‘culture’ aspect of your Sri Lanka honeymoon will be experienced from two of your hotels. Ulagalla Resort, in the heart of the Cultural Triangle, is a tranquil eco-boutique hotel. From here you will embark on a unique backroad cycling tour of Anuradhapura with a historian. There will also be the chance to climb the UNESCO Sigiriya Rock Fortress and to stop in at the Dambulla cave temple en route to Kandy. From Kandy House you will explore the city’s buzzing markets and visit the famous Temple of the Tooth, housing the relic of the tooth of the Buddha. It’s then time to appreciate Sri Lanka’s tea country, an area of exceptional natural scenery. To reach Nine Skies, your next hotel, a refurbished tea bungalow hotel, you will take a vintage train to Ella railway station. It’s around a 7-hour journey through forests, villages, waterfalls, and tea estates. During your stay in Ella, you will hike Little Adam’s Peak. Next up, your safari. Uga Chena Huts has a unique offering of both beach and safari in dense jungle. You will partake in drives in Yala National Park, home to elusive leopards, sloth bears, elephants and wild boar. After a busy itinerary, The Last House is the perfect ending. It’s super laid-back with direct access to Mawella Beach.
