Designed for travellers seeking a slower, more immersive experience, this 12-night escorted tour blends backwaters, hill stations, wildlife sanctuaries, ancient kingdoms, and colonial-era cities into one seamless journey.

This segment is ideal for travellers looking to unwind while still enjoying meaningful cultural experiences.

From climbing the iconic Sigiriya Rock Fortress and exploring the ruins of Polonnaruwa, to spotting elephants at Minneriya National Park, this part of the tour is rich in UNESCO World Heritage Sites and authentic local encounters. Cultural highlights include the sacred Temple of the Tooth in Kandy, a traditional Kandyan dance performance, and scenic drives through Sri Lanka’s central highlands.

Concluding in Nuwara Eliya and Colombo, the tour perfectly balances nature, culture, and comfort. With guided sightseeing, quality accommodation, and seamless transfers throughout, this holiday is ideal for UK travellers, couples, and cultural explorers looking for a premium India and Sri Lanka tour package that delivers depth, variety, and exceptional value in 2026.
