Individual tour through Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka means “radiant, shining country” . If this already sounds promising, the true beauty of Sri Lanka surpasses our imagination. Ancient sailors described the island as a “pearl in the Indian Ocean” . To this day we can sense why at first glance. Palm trees sway picturesquely on miles of beaches. Jungles, plantations and rice terraces stretch out in brilliant green. The diversity of the landscape is enriched by Sri Lanka’s culture and the knowledge of the healing art of Ayurveda – heritage of 5,000 years of Ceylon’s history.

A short jolt, the plane touches down and you grab your suitcase – yes, you’re finally there! After landing in Colombo, the bustling capital of Sri Lanka, the driver will warmly welcome you and take you from the airport to the hotel.
At this point at the latest you will realize that you are not alone: you look into the faces of other travel-hungry people whose eyes burn with the same desire for adventure as yours! Once counted – a small group of 5 other explorers is standing in front of you, your travel buddies for the next 2 weeks. Who are they, where do they come from? All questions that you can answer together during your first exploration of your surroundings. Your driver will provide you with little insider tips! After all, as a local, he has insights that cannot be found i…
Sri Lanka’s tropical climate has an average temperature of 28°C, which is why the country is easy to travel all year round. The hottest months are March and April. However, comparatively cooler temperatures can be expected in the mountain regions. It should also be noted that Sri Lanka is influenced by two opposing monsoons, which means that there are regional differences. However, since many of the highlights of this trip are in the south and west, the time from November to April is best. However, the southwest monsoon is mostly over in July and August, which is why the weather on the (south)west coast is often quite pleasant.
Of course, it is up to you whether you want to take part in the jeep safari or the night hike or not. Only the transfers have to be taken into account so that you can move into your booked accommodation. Please understand that individual partial services that are not performed cannot be reimbursed.
The currency of Sri Lanka is the Sri Lanka Rupee (RS). In many places people still pay with cash. The best thing to do is to withdraw some money in the local currency when you arrive at the airport. In larger cities and hotels you can often pay with a debit or credit card. It’s best to find out from your bank before your trip what the conditions for cash withdrawals and card payments abroad are.
