Udawalawe lies south of the central hills of the island, and it surrounds the man-made reservoir of Udawalawe, which is part of the park. It is a mixture of the abandoned teak plantation, scrub jungle and grassland. The dry season is best to watch many herds of elephants that roam the park; which is usually between May and September. Almost the entire park is covered with tall, reedy Pohon grass, which grows all year round. Udawalawe is a superb place to watch elephants as an estimated 450 elephants live here! 

On this tour, you will visit a Turtle Hatchery and the famous port of Galle! The Turtle Hatchery lies 8 km south of Bentota at Kosgoda is said to be the best place to see giant turtles and their babies and is endowed with Hasselblad cameras. Galle, said to be the famous Tarshish of the Bible, is the port where the Portuguese first landed in Sri Lanka in the 16th-Century. Fortified by the Dutch who ruled maritime Sri Lanka in the 17th and 18th centuries, the city still retains the air of old Holland with its Old Dutch churches, monuments, fort, and ramparts, as well as quaint Old Dutch houses and narrow alleys still bearing Dutch names

Sinharaja presents the characteristic features of a tropical rainforest. Sinharaja Rainforest, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site, is the last remaining rainforest in Sri Lanka and is home to most (almost 95%) of Sri Lanka’s endemic birdlife, giant butterflies and more than 50% of Sri Lanka’s endemic mammals. A most amazing sighting at Sinharaja is the dazzling colours and shocking contrasts as the large mixed flocks of feeding birds’ flit through the forest. This lowland forest is considered to be one of the best birding sites in Sri Lanka with 22 out of Sri Lanka's 26 endemic birds having been sighted here, and large mixed feeding flocks providing an unusual spectacle. 

With 8 Unesco World Heritage Sites to be found on such a small area of land and a 2,000 year old culture, Sri Lanka is as fascinating as it is beautiful.

Visit ancient sites and legendary temples, or see the sacred home of the world’s oldest living tree - Anuradhapura. Take a safari tour in one of the national parks to encounter elephants, leopards, water buffaloes, and exotic birds, or spend the day relaxing on the dazzlingly white, often untrod, beaches. 

Retreat up into the Sri Lankan hills to experience a more temperate climate and the lavish greenery of the tea plantations. And if you can even trek through the rainforests with an experienced guide or just take in the breathtaking vistas on a spectacular train ride.  

With fabulously flavoursome food and a vast array of culturally rich experiences to delve into, Sri Lanka promises to be one of your best-loved travel destinations, and the charm of the people will simply enchant you.
