Luxury culture holiday in Sri Lanka
The highlights were coming across a flock of Sri Lanka Blue Magpies feeding noisily in the Sinharaja Rain Forest and seeing the nesting Painted Storks with chicks in Yala National Park. (more)
From £1400 excluding flights
Adventure holiday to Sri Lanka
Fantastic. The people, the places and the experiences made this one of the most memorable holidays I have had. The excellent guide, Ruwan, and my fellow travellers helped to make the experiences fun. (more)
From £1699 - £2369 including UK flights
Sri Lanka birding & cultural tour
The Elephant Transit Camp in Udawalawe was a fantastic example of the care Sri Lankans take of their wildlife, allowing close up views of baby elephants both in the camp and later in the National Park where the elephants are eventually re-released.  (more)
From £1400 excluding flights
Honeymoon to Sri Lanka
The most memorable part was definitely the look of pure joy on my wife's face when taking a bath with an elephant at the Millenium Foundation... (more)
From £1150 excluding flights
Sri Lanka eco lodge accommodation
I don´t think that I've ever felt so relaxed. Staying in a simple (but clean and neat) hut in the jungle and listening to the sounds of birds and sometimes even elephants made me feel very, very, very happy and close to nature.  (more)
From US $100 - US $140 per person per night

Sri Lanka travel information

Sri Lanka has had many names in its long and colourful history – words deriving from Greek and Roman, Pali, Sanskrit and English – each reflecting the island's prominent position on the Indian Ocean's trade routes. Serendip is just one of these names, from which we take the word 'serendipity' coined by Horace Walpole to describe the gift of making happy and unexpected discoveries purely by accident. The island's central mountains block the monsoon winds and create two quite different regions – low-lying coastal plains running inland from the northern and eastern shores, and sloping hills climbing to the mountains from the south.

The island's architectural and artistic heritage has much in common with Indian Hindu and Buddhist tradition, yet its relative isolation has resulted in some unique distinctive features. This isolation is also evident in Sri Lankan wildlife, much of which is unique to the island, and includes elephant, a variety of deer and reptiles, 240 indigenous species of butterfly, and no less than 250 resident bird species.
