Odyssey Travels Sri Lanka

Routes

Six routes, and a starting point for anything else

These are the itineraries we run most often, written out day by day with honest drive times. Nearly everyone changes something — treat them as a first draft rather than a menu.

Terraced tea plantation on a misty hillside in the Sri Lankan highlands12 days

Sri Lanka End to End

The full circuit in twelve days — ancient cities, the mountain railway, a proper safari and the south coast — without the 5am departures that usually come with it.

The Cultural Triangle

Sigiriya at dawn, the ruined cities of Polonnaruwa and Anuradhapura, and the cave temples at Dambulla — the oldest part of the island, driven at a sane pace.
