You step out of Bandaranaike International Airport into warm, perfumed air and a driver already waiting — the rhythm of Sri Lanka begins with the road. Over seven days the island pushes and softens you: tea-carpeted hills rise like green waves, the Kelani River dares you into white water, and the southern ocean pulls whales and dolphins into view.

Yes — original passport is required for pickup, hotel check-in and some guided activities; carry a photocopy during excursions.
Peak season is December to April when sea conditions are calmer and sightings are more frequent, though tours operate year-round.
The itinerary is adaptable and categorized as physically easy overall, but some days include multiple transfers, steps and rough roads; discuss mobility needs with the operator before booking.
Expect short urban walks in Kandy, moderate walks at viewpoints and tea estates, and brief hiking or stair climbs at waterfalls and forts; most walking is less than a few kilometers per stop.
Kandy was the last capital of the independent Sinhalese kingdom; the Temple of the Tooth holds a sacred relic that shaped the island’s political history.
Yala and coastal turtle projects emphasize responsible viewing—maintain distance from wildlife, avoid flash photography, and support licensed conservation operators.
