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.

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.

On this tour, you will visit a Turtle Hatchery and the famous port of Galle!

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.
