Complete tour Culture Nature Beach

14 Days Sri Lanka Highlights

The grand island loop: Cultural Triangle, tea highlands, Yala safari and south coast — all in one perfectly balanced journey.

Duration: 14 days
From: €2,490
Group size: 2–8
Best time to travel: November to April

If you only visit Sri Lanka once, do it with this journey. 14 days are enough to experience the four faces of the country: the millennia-old royal cities of the Cultural Triangle, the misty tea mountains with the iconic Ella train ride, a genuine Big Five safari in Yala National Park, and finally the beaches of the south. We balance pace with stillness so you don't just see — you arrive.
