Build your own Sri Lanka trip

You know what they say, “great things come in small packages,” and Sri Lanka does not disappoint. With its sapphire seas, wild roaming elephants, and jaw-dropping scenery, it won’t be long until you’ve fallen in love with the Pearl of the Indian Ocean. Wander ancient temples, rustle up a tasty curry, follow in Buddha’s footsteps on a pilgrimage to Adam’s Peak, and take an iconic train journey through the rolling tea plantations of Ella, before topping it all off with some sun-kissed beach-time. Magic.
