Nature, wildlife, culture and history
Travel through national parks full of wildlife and visit archaeological sites, royal cities, pleasure gardens and the Temple of the Tooth. A scenic train journey inland crosses endless tea fields. From Mirissa you will go whale and dolphin watching. Dive into the history of the VOC in the former trading settlement Fort Galle. You end the trip with a stay in chaotic Colombo , where colonial houses, modern office buildings, shanty towns, temples and mosques are criss-crossed together. Ayubowan!
