Sri Lanka is an island of contrasts. One morning you can be climbing a rock fortress in the dry zone, and by evening, you can be sipping tea in a misty mountain lodge. If you are planning your trip, our “Hill Country Explore” and Sigiriya trip packages are the perfect places to start.
Stop 1: The Cultural Triangle (Sigiriya & Matale)
Your journey often begins with a drive to the center of the island. A highlight here is the Sigiriya Matale Sri Lanka route. Before you reach the majestic Lion Rock, we often stop in Matale. Famous for its spice gardens, this is where you can see how cinnamon, cardamom, and pepper grow in the wild.
Then, it’s on to the main event: Sigiriya. Whether you choose to climb the Lion Rock for the history or the neighboring Pidurangala Rock for the sunrise views, our private tour driver & guide in Sri Lanka will ensure you get there before the heat kicks in.
Stop 2: The Kingdom of Kandy
Moving south, we hit the last royal capital, Kandy. Home to the Sacred Tooth Relic and beautiful botanical gardens, Kandy is the gateway to the hills. As experienced Sri Lanka tour operators, we know the best viewpoints to see Kandy Lake at sunset.
Stop 3: The Hill Country (Nuwara Eliya & Ella)
This is where the air gets cool and crisp. Our Sri Lanka Hill Country Tours take you through rolling tea estates that look like green carpets draped over the mountains.
- Nuwara Eliya: Known as “Little England,” this is the place for high tea and colonial charm.
- Ella: The backpacker’s paradise. Visit the Nine Arch Bridge and Little Adam’s Peak.
Pro Tip: Many travelers love the train ride from Nanu Oya to Ella. We can arrange your train tickets while your SL Brothers driver takes your heavy luggage by car and meets you at the station with a smile!
