A 12-day private tour from Colombo through Kitulgala's rainforest, Nuwara Eliya's tea plantations, Kandy, Sigiriya, a Wilpattu safari, and Trincomalee's beaches. This route runs west-to-east across the island, ending on Trincomalee's east coast beaches — a different finish from our other Sri Lanka circuits, which loop back through the south.
