Instead of racing through “must-dos”, this journey invites you to participate. Track fresh prints on a guided bush walk with a ranger who reads the jungle like a book. Stand at a spice counter and understand why Sri Lankan food tastes the way it does, sharp, bright, deeply spiced. At altitude, in the quiet of the tea country, lift a tasting cup and learn why tea is judged not by romance but by discipline and precision.

This is an itinerary that doesn’t just show you Sri Lanka, it lets you handle it, taste it, decode it, and live inside its rhythm.

DAY 1-5
Unwind and Explore at Cape Weligama

At Cape Weligama on the southern coast, you’ll embark on a leisurely sail to spot whales and unwind on the rugged headland at dusk while savouring a crafted degustation menu. You can also learn to surf and immerse yourself in the waves, then visit Galle Fort, the UNESCO Heritage Site that showcases the Portuguese, Dutch, and British influences on our island.

DAY 5-8
Wild Encounters at Wild Coast Tented Lodge

At Wild Coast Tented Lodge, our passionate rangers will guide you into the wilderness to explore the forests of Yala National Park. You can enjoy guided walks and sunset game drives, experiencing the breathtaking landscapes along the way. Indulge in ocean-side dining, where you’ll be surrounded by the wild beauty of Sri Lanka from dawn until dusk.

DAY 8-10
A journey through the history of tea at Ceylon Tea Trails

At Ceylon Tea Trails, you can meander the mountainous tea fields of Bogawantalawa, discover Dunkeld Tea Factory, kayak across Castlereagh Lake at sunrise, sample a tea-infused dinner, and find retreat in one of our historic tea-planters’ bungalows, quietly nestled between emerald valleys.

Across coast, jungle and tea country, what begins as a 10-night itinerary slowly becomes something more textured. You leave with salt in your hair, the memory of leopards slipping through scrub, and the measured ritual of tea still on your palate.
