Upper Lake Drive, Market Square, Arts & Crafts Centre, Gem Museum & Temple of Tooth Relic. Kandy the hill capital, venue of the

annual Perahera The last stronghold of the Sinhala Kings was finally ceded to the British in 1815. Kandy is an example of the

Buddhism's influence in Sri Lanka today. Temple's shrines and monasteries keeping alive Buddhist traditions are everywhere.

Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic: ever since 4th Century A.D, when the Buddha's Tooth was brought to Sri Lanka hidden from

Buddhist world. It is considered Sri Lanka's most prized possession.

Overnight stay at Kandy

Day 03 Kandy - Nuwara Eliya (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)

After breakfast proceed to Nuwara Eliya Nuwara Eliya: Enjoy “Tea experience”, which involves a visit a plantation to observe

firsthand the process, starting from the plucking field where it all begins with the picking of “two leaves and a bud” to the factory

where the processing begins. Originally introduced to the island around 1850 by the British, Ceylon Tea is world famous for its

high quality and has remained a major contributor to the island’s economy for generations. Currently, Sri Lanka is one of largest

exporter of tea worldwide. The high altitudes produce the best flavours, so Sri Lanka’s hill-country is the ideal environment to

grow the most flavorsome tea. A guided tour around a Tea Factory is an enlightening experience. Nuwara Eliya The ‘Little England’

of Sri Lanka, is set against beautiful backdrops of Mountains, Valleys, Waterfalls and Tea Plantations. It is supposed to be one of

the coolest places in the Island, but it is really just like an English spring day, although the temperature does drop at night.

All around Nuwara Eliya you will see evidence of the British influence, houses like country cottages or Queen Ann style mansions.

The Victoria Park, in the middle of the town, is a lovely place for a stroll or a picnic and is also good for Birding as you get some

rare birds in this Park. Seasons may be absent elsewhere in Sri Lanka, but here you can read them by the flowers.

Overnight stay at Nuwara Eliya.

Day 04 Nuwara Eliya -Galle (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)

After breakfast proceed to Galle world heritage site

Marine Turtle Conservation in Kosgoda … Globally, all seven species of marine turtles are endangered. Of these seven, five

come ashore to nest in Sri Lanka. The process of marine turtles nesting, hatchlings being born, and swimming back to the

sea is fascinating to observe. The Kosgoda Conservation Project is an ideal way to learn and observe this endangered species

Garden Beach Hotel, on the edge of Turtle Beach, offers responsible night-time expeditions to its guests if turtles are lying.

Overnight stay at Galle

Day 05 Galle - Colombo (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)

After breakfast proceed to Colombo

Overnight stay at Colombo

Day 06 Colombo - Airport (Breakfast)

After breakfast transfer to the airport for the flight back.

Colombo: a drive through the city taking you to the busy commercial areas as well as the tree lined residential, Cinnamon Gardens, Visit Fort, the

former British administrative centre and military garrison, Sea Street - the Goldsmiths quarters in the heart of Pettah, the Bazaar area, where is also a

Hindu Temple with elaborate stone carvings, and the Dutch Church of Wolfendhal dating back to 1749. Also visit the BMICH, see the replica of

Avukana Buddha & the Independence Square. From buzzing bazaars to stylish boutique outlets, Colombo is increasingly becoming a popular

shopping destination within Asia. Odel is Sri Lanka’s most famous shop, a growing department store in the centre of town. Western-label clothes are

sold at a fraction of overseas prices. Other attractions include home wear stores like Paradise Road, Suriya and Gandhara. Saffron Villas is popular

for antique furniture. Barefoot is famous for its hand spun and vibrantly-coloured fabrics. There are several good quality jewellers. If you want to get a

feel for the trading heart of the city, spend a hectic morning wandering the narrow streets of Pettah Bazaar where you will find anything from steel

pots to the latest mobile phones.

Galle Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, originally built by the Portuguese and then further developed by the Dutch and the British, covers

nearly four sq kms, and is protected by 12 bastions and connecting ramparts. During the early 18th century the Old Dutch Gate was the entrance

point to the Fort. Subsequently the British built the Main Gate which is still used today. Buildings of interest include the Dutch Reformed Church, All

Saints Church, Amangalla Hotel (formerly the New Oriental Hotel), and the lighthouse and bell tower. The Dutch also developed what was then an

innovative tide-based sewage-system within the Fort. A maze of narrow roads lined with small houses and shops with Dutch names still remain.
