4 Nights Sri Lanka Tour – Kandy, Nuwara Eliya, Bentota & Colombo

Sri Lanka boasts over 2,500 years of recorded history, a kaleidoscope of landscapes and a living tapestry of Buddhist culture. This seamless 4-night itinerary delivers the very best of the island’s central highlands and southwest coast in one private-car journey: from Kandy’s hallowed Temple of the Tooth and expansive Royal Botanic Gardens, to the mist-clad tea estates of Nuwara Eliya.

In the hill country, trace the story of Ceylon tea with a factory tour amid emerald rows, then descend to the coastal paradise of Bentota, where conservation meets leisure at a turtle hatchery and a Madu River boat safari through 64 islands of mangrove and wildlife. Adventure seekers can add a rush of adrenaline with white-water rafting on the Kelani River in Kitulgala — a world-class spot for class II–III rapids.

Crowned in Colombo’s dynamic blend of colonial heritage and modern flair, this tour is designed for flexibility: swap in scenic train rides, spice-garden visits or beach downtime. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a Sri Lanka veteran, expect a tailor-made journey that balances iconic landmarks, off-beat discoveries and the island’s famed hospitality.
