Our best Day Trips & Short Breaks in Sri Lanka provide an array of holiday experiences that take you close to the beauty of the country and also its people’s life – from tea plucking with local women on the vast tea plantations of Nuwara Eliya to home cooking and boating with villagers in Hirawaduna, from taking the scenic train ride from Kandy to Ella to walking the streets of Galle colonial town.
Sri Lanka is clearly a captivating destination with plenty of interesting historic lessons you can learn on each trip. It is about the Buddhist heritage, Tamil culture or the colonial era, which left a significant mark with ancient temples, churches, forts, and palaces. Your kids will certainly love experiencing it all and the whole tribe will gain an insightful view into the history of this beautiful island.
