Surrounded by the warm Indian Ocean waters, Sri Lanka is a true Eden of rainforests, green-clad mountains, cascading waterfalls, paddy fields and overwhelming gorges. It is an island of many treasures; the historic Sigiriya Fortress, medieval Buddhist temples, Yala National Park with its abundant wildlife including the graceful leopard, among the world’s highest concentrations. There are beautiful Nuwara Eliya and Kandy located in the hilly tea plantation regions, and stretches of sweeping sandy beaches on the southern coast. The variety is endless, and the ever-friendly locals and laid-back lifestyle make Sri Lanka a highly sought-after vacation destination.
During the tour we will visit World Heritage Sites, stroll through colorful bazaars where skilled artisans exhibit their work, go on boat cruises, admire sustainable community projects, enjoy fresh seafood and aromatic curries, and last but not least, relax on the island’s world-class palm fringed beaches.

Based on our very good experiences on a tour through Rajasthan, Varanasi, Goa, and Mumbai, we asked Vikas and his team at indienrundreisen.de (English www.VacationIndia.com) for a travel suggestion for our planned trip to Sri Lanka. As in India, we wanted a mix of getting to know people, culture, and sights, as well as nature and wildlife, as part of a customized tour, followed by a few days of beach relaxation. We wanted to stay in fairly upscale to luxurious accommodations or places that were “exciting” for other reasons. We had already researched a few places before sending our request.
Even the contact and support in the run-up to our trip went smoothly and was absolutely reliable, just as we had expected. Our wishes and preferences were always responded to in a very personal and individual manner, resulting in a tour that was tailor-made for us.
In 13 days, we traveled from Negombo via Wilpattu National Park to the ancient royal city of Anuradhapura with its impressive buildings. From there, we traveled through beautiful countryside to the world heritage sites of Dambulla and Minneriya National Park. With a stopover in the magnificently situated Kandy, we then continued uphill through the tea plantations to Nuwara Eliya, the roof of Sri Lanka. We enjoyed our days by the sea on the beautiful beach of Bentota and finally spent two days in vibrant Colombo.
The welcome at the airport was extremely warm and the beach hotel in Negombo was the perfect place to recover from the exhausting flight and enjoy the sunset with a refreshing drink. Our personal highlights of the tour were the individual safari through Wilpattu National Park. Even though we didn’t see any leopards, we were able to enjoy the wildlife and beautiful nature almost entirely on our own, without noisy jeep traffic jams, in what is by far the largest wildlife reserve on the island. The sweaty climb to Sigiriya Rock and the fascinatingly painted rock temple of Dambulla will also remain in our memories for a long time. The charm of the beautifully situated royal city of Kandy and the highlands of Nuwara Eliya, which are partly reminiscent of the Black Forest, were also magnificent.
The accommodations left nothing to be desired. We particularly enjoyed our stay at Arachchi Heritage, a beautiful architectural gem right on the lake in Anuradhapura. The staff there was also incredibly friendly and accommodating.
We simply had a wonderful, eventful, and yet relaxing time in this amazing country. This was ensured not only by the perfect organization, but also by our guide and driver, Dela. With his friendly and unobtrusive manner, he always had an eye for the remarkable things along the way and explained them knowledgeably and in very good English. Even when the program became too much for us or we had a special request, he always adapted flexibly to our needs and made everything possible. Perfect.
