Tour Overview
This eight-day journey runs the island in reverse – beach first, mountains second. From the palm-fringed south coast at Mirissa you head into the wilds of Yala, up through Ella and Nuwara Eliya on the famous hill country train, and finish at the majestic Sigiriya Rock Fortress before returning to the coast at Negombo.
It blends relaxation, adventure and culture in a single trip and works particularly well for families, couples and first-time visitors who want beach time at the start rather than the end.
Want a different length, a different hotel category or an extra beach day? This itinerary is fully flexible – we can stretch or shorten the 8 days, swap destinations and arrange your accommodation at any star rating.
