The feel of the journey

Sacred landscapes. Wild spaces. Sea air.

Anuradhapura gives the journey its first chapter, followed by Wilpattu’s lakes and forests. Two nights around Trincomalee bring a coastal change of pace. Then turn inland for Kandy’s temples, a pottery experience and the final two nights of this seven-day route.

  1. Anuradhapura’s sacred landscapes
  2. Wilpattu wildlife safari
  3. Trincomalee & Kandy craft
