Sri Lanka Final Package
Sri Lanka Final Package
Sri Lanka Final Package
Note: Taj Bentota is presently overpriced and the hotel desperately needs a facelift/renovation. As a
result I’d like to recommend RIU Resort with All inclusive meal plan with 24/7 liquors and Sheraton
Turtle Beach Resort with HB basis, both of which would suit their needs and holiday objectives.
Arrive in Sri Lanka. You will be met by representatives of Ghumo Phiro Travels and transferred
to Kandy. (Travel time approx: 03 & ½ hrs)
En route visit *Pinnawela Elephant Orphanage - App. 55 miles from Colombo, off the Colombo -
Kandy road is Pinnawela, where an orphanage was started in 1975 to house the abandoned and the
wounded elephants. The number of elephants has increased to more than 65 now; including Baby
Elephants brought from various parts, as well as the 23 babies born, as a result of the captive
breeding programme. The best time to visit is the feeding time from 0930-1000 hrs and 1330-1400
hrs and the bathing time from 1000-1030 hrs and 1400-1430 hrs when all the elephants are taken
to the river close by.
Proceed to *Kandy
DAY 2- KANDY
Visit *Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic - ever since 4th Century A.D, when the Buddha's Tooth
was brought to Sri Lanka hidden from sacrilegious hands in an Orissan princess' hair, the Relic has
grown in repute and holiness in Sri Lanka and throughout the Buddhist world. It is considered Sri
Lanka's most prized possession.
Today morning you will be going to Nuwara Eliya (Travel time approx: 02 & 1/2hrs)
En route visit Ramboda Hanumanji Temple (subject to temple timing), Tea Plantation &
Ramboda Falls
Afternoon proceed to Nuwara Eliya & enjoy the scenic beauty of hill country
*Nuwara Eliya - The ‘Little England’ of Sri Lanka, is set against beautiful backdrops of Mountains,
Valleys, Waterfalls and Tea Plantations. It is supposed to be one of the coolest places in the Island,
but it is really just like an English spring day, although the temperature does drop at night. All
around Nuwara Eliya you will see evidence of the British influence, houses like country cottages or
Queen Ann style mansions. The Victoria Park, in the middle of the town, is a lovely place for a stroll
or a picnic and is also good for Birding as you get some rare birds in this Park. Seasons may be
absent elsewhere in Sri Lanka, but here you can read them by the flowers, which bloom in the spring
(March to May) and the fall (August and September). These are the “seasons” when low-country
folk flock to Nuwara Eliya to escape the sea level heat and humidity.
DAY 5- BENTOTA
*Colombo - a drive through the city taking you to the busy commercial areas as well as the tree-
lined residential, Cinnamon Gardens. Visit Fort, the former British administrative center and military
garrison, Sea Street - the Goldsmith’s quarters in the heart of Pettah, the Bazaar area, where is also
a Hindu Temple with elaborate stone carvings, and the Dutch Church of Wolfendhal dating back to
1749. Also visit the BMICH, see the replica of Avukana Buddha & the Independence Square.
*Shopping in Colombo.......visit *ODEL Unlimited provides ample opportunity indulge, not only in
shopping for designer wear apparel for the whole family, but also take taste buds on a voyage of
discovery.
