Sri Lanka
Experiences
From leopard safaris and ancient temples to beach escapes, hill-country hikes and Ayurvedic retreats – build your journey around what you love most.
Adventure
Sri Lanka's compact size means you can go white-water rafting in the morning, summit a viewpoint over rolling tea estates by afternoon and watch the sun set over the Indian Ocean the same evening. The island's adventure scene is growing fast: Kitulgala is the undisputed home of white-water rafting; Ella draws hikers to Ella Rock and Little Adam's Peak; Arugam Bay draws surfers from around the world.
For those who want to push further, Adam's Peak (Sri Pada) at 2,243 metres is a challenging pre-dawn pilgrimage climb rewarded by a triangular shadow cast across the clouds at sunrise. Every activity can be arranged privately and added to any itinerary.
