Duration: 4 Days / 3 Nights
You are expected to arrive at Bandaranaike International Airport today in accordance with your itinerary, which calls for a three-night stay and a four-day journey. A representative from Lanka Budget Tours will meet and greet you at the airport. From there, drive to Kandy, stopping en route to see the Pinnawala elephant orphanage.
A unique location to watch elephants is Pinnawala in Sri Lanka. The facility was built in 1975 by the Sri Lanka Department of Wildlife Conservation to care for juvenile elephants that had been abandoned and lost in the untamed forests. These cute animals are taken in, raised, and fertilized in captivity. It is situated 13 kilometers northeast of Kegalle town in Pinnawala village. The world’s largest herd of captive elephants resides at the Pinnawala orphanage. The orphanage is best visited between the hours of 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. Young elephants are thus bathed and fed milk at this period each day. It is fantastic that travelers have the opportunity to witness these trained elephants enjoying themselves and bathing in the adjacent river.
On the second day, you’ll go to Nuwara Eliya, a picturesque town situated in the central province’s hills. After breakfast, our car will take you up to the hotel. The Damro Labookellie Tea Centre and Tea Garden is the first place we visit. It is one of the tea farms we pass on the way to Nuwara Eliya. It was once known as the Mackwoods and is now Sri Lanka’s oldest tea shop. A massive 5000 hectares of opulent tea plantations are there. Given that each type of tea has its own production procedure, you will get to learn about both black and white tea manufacturing. A complimentary taste of tea is offered at the conclusion of the factory tour.
The Ramboda Falls are the next destination; they are located just off the Nuwara Eliya highway and roar down a cliff with a multi-tiered granite face. The Ramboda Falls, which plunge from a height of 358 feet (109 meters), are the eleventh highest waterfall in Sri Lanka. The Panna Oya River, a Kothmale Oya tributary, is what feeds the waterfall. This is wonderful because an emerald forest frames it, giving it a breathtaking appearance. Then we swiftly travel to Nuwara Eliya City to see Lake Gregory, which is situated at the southern end of the town and offers a tranquil setting and beautiful views. It was given Sir William Gregory’s name in 1873; it is a distinctive tourist destination. Visitors may take horseback or boat excursions, stroll leisurely along the paths, or enjoy a picnic in the lake park.
The Nuwara Eliya post office, which lies in the heart of the city, is the next pretty peculiar tourist destination. The post office is special because it is one of the oldest post offices in Sri Lanka. The British built the Tudor-style, two-story redbrick edifice with a clock steeple in 1894. A hotel is located in the post office’s upper level. The Sita Amman Temple, which is the last stop before reaching Kandy, lies at Sita Eliya, about 10 minutes from Nuwara Eliya. It is the sole Hindu temple in Sri Lanka dedicated to Princess Sita. It is among the most significant Ramayana locations in Sri Lanka. It is claimed that Lord Hanuman burned this place before leaving Sri Lanka since the soil in the area’s immediate vicinity is black in color. In a nearby creek, Lord Hanuman’s footprint is still discernible. It’s a really intriguing place to go. Finally, we make our way back to Kandy for the evening.
The beautiful town of Bentota may be explored on day four. Cycling is best experienced in a tranquil setting next to the historic Hindu temple known as the “Katukoliha temple” and the vast rice fields. While traveling, you will see the Mullegoda Temple’s stunning murals engraved onto the walls and the azure Dedduwa Lake. It is without a doubt one of the best things to do in Bentota.
Additionally, you may go to Bentota beach, which has a number of serene and lovely beaches. Bentota Beach, one of them, greets guests with swaying coconut trees and beautiful surroundings. It is unquestionably the ideal spot for nature lovers to enjoy relaxing water sports like:
Water Skiing: Learn to water ski in Bentota and enjoy the feeling of the water beneath your feet and the wind in your hair. This beach is the perfect setting for risk-free sea skiing adventures. The magnificent expanses of water become an addiction for adrenaline junkies because of the lack of significant boulders and uneven conditions. If you enjoy water sports, this is the perfect opportunity to demonstrate your skills in a relaxed and secure setting. Do not be concerned if this is your first time; the support personnel will teach and supervise the visitors to provide a fun and safe experience.
Snorkeling and Diving: No matter your level of experience, Bentota gives you a memorable diving trip. Here, you may swim in the pleasantly warm Indian Ocean beside tropical fish and gorgeous coral reefs, or you can try to maneuver through the abundant underwater seaweed. Anyone who has the chance should try it out.
Banana Boat & Tube Rides: Banana tubes are, as their name suggests, tubes that resemble bananas and are rope-attached to a speed boat. The journey promises an exhilarating experience, complete with enormous waves that fall over your head. In Bentota, visitors can choose between single-ring rides and couch rides, both of which are appropriate for any age.
Windsurfing: You can’t enjoy windsurfing on crystal-clear water just anywhere, but Bentota is the place to go if that’s what you desire. It has the ideal climate all year round. Visitors have the option of renting equipment or bringing their own. Bentota provides lessons and individual sessions for travellers who want to learn about or try windsurfing.
There are many more water sports you can enjoy. Then you can take a boat ride on the lovely Madu River close to Balapitiya town in the evening. The neighboring creek creates a number of islands, and the local biological system also produces a magnificent wetland. It is the conclusion of the day, so you will be transported to the hotel.
Our guide will pick you up from the hotel on the fourth day of your great four-day Sri Lanka Tour and transport you back to Galle or the airport in time for your flight home. We managed to put together a fantastic and enjoyable four-day trip with The Tour Sri Lanka.
