Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka has just about everything a traveller could want - superb ancient sites, magnificent scenery, amazing wildlife, delicious cuisine, incredibly friendly and welcoming locals and lovely palm-fringed, white sandy beaches. Add to this a history touched by Portuguese, Dutch and British influences and a society with a strong and devout adherence to the Buddhist faith and we find an island-nation of incredibly rich diversity with much to offer. We discover all of this and more on a comprehensive journey of what has been affectionately called, due to its shape, the 'Teardrop Isle'.

Join us on an exciting discovery of Sri Lanka, including beautiful beaches, ruins lost in the jungle, unique wildlife and stunning waterfalls. Located on the western coast of Sri Lanka, Negombo offers both Dutch and Portuguese colonial buildings against a backdrop of lagoons and the Indian Ocean. Explore the partially excavated ruins of the Ritigala Jungle Monastery, nestled deep inside the Ritigala Nature Reserve.
