15 Days 14 Nights Negombo, Galle, Udawalawa with Tissamaharama Offbeat Tour Package

Arriving in Colombo, you’ll be met by your chauffeur-guide and private minivan. Head to Negombo for some relaxation by the beach, Side City tour of Negombo

Your chauffeur-guide will collect you after a leisurely morning for the drive inland and uphill to the last remaining virgin rainforest in Sri Lanka – the Sinharaja. On arrival you’ll be taking in your extraordinary surroundings. The next day, we’ve included a full-day hike in the forest. Depending on your fitness level, there are circuits of 6km, 10km or 20km. You’ll see many of Sri Lanka’s endemic bird species as you go around. The trackers are pretty good!

Trekking

It’s a fairly short but very scenic journey this morning to the entrance of Uda Walawe National Park. You can relax, explore the area and enjoy the hotel’s facilities and pool on arrival, though if you are keen you could squeeze in an extra safari too.

Early the next morning is the best time to beat the other jeeps and have the park to yourselves. Uda Walawe is the best place in the country for seeing wild elephants up close and personal and if you’re lucky, you may also spot a leopard. Like most of Sri Lanka, there is a plethora of other wildlife to enjoy in the park also. In the afternoon you may like to visit the elephant transit camp next to the entrance.

From Uda Walawe, head to the deep south-east and Yala National Park. You won’t be staying with the bulk of the tourists – this trip is much more interesting than that! We’ve got a much better idea up our sleeves – a real immersive wildlife experience where you can explore the relationship between elephants and humans in this remote, wild and beautiful region. Of course we’ve included a safari too – with some superb top of the range trackers and naturalists provided by the lodge itself. You’ll enter the park via the much quieter Katagamuwa entrance.

Visit Katharagama and Back to Same Hotel

Heading north from here, the journey to Gal Oya, Sri Lanka least visited National Park, takes 4 hours. Whilst you’ll doubtless enjoy the boating safari options into Gal Oya, your stay is much more about the lodge and the location. This is truly stylish jungle lodge living. You’ll enjoy the chance to relax and will settle in quickly.

Relax

If a long wide sandy beach doesn’t entertain you, there is water sports too and plenty of dining options close by.
