- After breakfast, enjoy a city tour of Kandy, the last kingdom of the Sinhalese. Take in the sights of Upper Lake Drive and the Market Square on the way to pay homage to one of the most sacred religious sites in Sri Lanka.
- A walk around the town will allow you to indulge in some souvenir hunting, with intricate treasures in wood, copper, silver, brass, ebony, bronze, ceramics, lacquer work, handlooms, batiks, jewelry, and reed-ware to choose from.
- Thereafter, head 'up country' to the city of Nuwara Eliya, visiting the Ramboda waterfalls, tea factory, and tea plantation along the way.
- The old colonial outpost, still referred to as 'Little England,' certainly lives up to its name. Perched 6,200 feet above sea level, the climate adds to the illusion of stepping into an old English town, where neat hedges, quaint cottages, and beautiful old buildings stand as serene as they did over a century ago, with the magnificent Grand Hotel presiding over them all.
- There is, of course, an old golf course as well as horse racing events to complete the picture.
- In the evening, visit Victoria Park in Nuwara Eliya. Victoria Park is a public park located next to the Nuwara Eliya Post Office in Sri Lanka. Originally, the park was the research field of Hakgala Botanical Garden and was formally named in 1897 to commemorate Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee.
- Gregory Lake, sometimes called Gregory Lake or Gregory Reservoir, is a reservoir in the heart of the tea country hill city, Nuwara Eliya, Sri Lanka. Lake Gregory was constructed during the period of British Governor Sir William Gregory in 1873. The lake and the surrounding area make up the Gregory Lake Area.
- Check in to the hotel and relax. Dinner and overnight stay in Nuwara Eliya.
- Morning: After breakfast, visit Hakgala Botanical Gardens (Ashok Vatika): This is the exotic pleasure garden where King Ravana kept the distressed Sita, insisting that she marry him. It was here that the heartwarming meeting took place between her and Hanuman, who brought her Rama’s ring with the news that Rama was searching for her. He offered to carry her back, but she refused, stating it would be an insult to Rama’s honor if she did so. Part of this majestic garden still exists. It is also said that Hanuman nearly destroyed it to prove to Ravana the forces against him.
- Thereafter, head to the resort town of Bentota via Kithulgala. If you feel adventurous, an incredible experience of white-water rafting awaits you at Kitulgala (USD 15.00 per person). The 5 km run on the picturesque Kelani River covers 5 major rapids and 4 minor ones. You will be in good hands with safety gear, modern rafts, and a comprehensive safety briefing provided by our white-water rafting instructors beforehand.
- Those who prefer to keep their feet dry can relax and admire the beautiful views.
- Check-in at the hotel and relax.
- Dinner and overnight stay in Bentota.
- After breakfast, proceed to Galle and visit Galle Fort.
- The heritage city of Galle has stood strong against invasions from colonial powers and nature's volatile outbursts for centuries.
- The famous Dutch Fort was first built by the Portuguese, fortified by the Dutch, and preserved by the British.
- Battered daily for over 400 years by the ocean, it even survived the onslaught of a tsunami and is enjoyed today by residents and visitors alike.
