🌿 SRI LANKA EASTER 2026: A 360° JOURNEY 🐆

✨ Group Trip to Sri Lanka: Temples, Safaris & Tropical Beaches Experience a journey packed with emotions: spirituality, wild nature, postcard landscapes, and moments of pure relaxation. We’ll explore Sri Lanka as if we were traveling with friends: a small multicultural group, an authentic itinerary, and the perfect balance between organized visits and free time. Unlike destinations that have already become heavily touristic, like Bali or Thailand, Sri Lanka still preserves its authentic soul, made of living traditions and unspoiled nature. And this is the only trip that offers you a 360° tour with two safaris included, to fully experience the island in all its variety: culture, spirituality, jungle, and sea. Easter 2026 will be the perfect occasion to discover this pearl of the Indian Ocean together 🌿🌊 ✨ Why join my trip to Sri Lanka 🛕 Explore the sacred cities of Anuradhapura and Dambulla (UNESCO) 🪨 Climb the legendary Sigiriya Rock Fortress and admire sunrise from Pidurangala Rock 🙏 Witness the evening ritual at the Temple of the Tooth in Kandy 🚂 Ride the panoramic train to Ella, one of the most beautiful in the world 🌉 Visit the Nine Arch Bridge and taste traditional Sri Lankan cuisine 🐆 Enjoy a unique safari that includes both Yala + Udawalawe 🏝 End the journey relaxing on the tropical beaches of Mirissa 🗺️ Detailed itinerary 📅 March 26–27 | Flight & Arrival in Colombo We land in Sri Lanka and are welcomed by the island’s warm atmosphere.

If your flight schedule allows, you’ll join a tuk tuk ride through Colombo’s colorful markets and spice-filled streets, to immediately immerse yourself in the local vibe. 📅 March 28 | Anuradhapura – The Sacred City At sunrise we head north to discover Anuradhapura, the ancient capital and sacred Buddhist city. After check-in, we’ll enjoy a private tour: walking among massive white stupas, bodhi trees, and ancient ruins while breathing in the spirituality still present today. One of Sri Lanka’s most important UNESCO sites and the perfect gateway to Sinhalese culture. 📅 March 29 | Dambulla & Sigiriya We check out early and head to the heart of the country to visit the Dambulla Cave Temple, famous for its frescoes and Buddha statues carved into the rock. In the afternoon, we climb the majestic Sigiriya Rock Fortress, the “fortress in the sky” surrounded by jungle: a view straight out of legend. 📅 March 30 | Pidurangala Rock & Kandy (Optional) Those who wish can enjoy sunrise from Pidurangala Rock, with breathtaking views over Sigiriya glowing in pink and orange. We then continue to Kandy, the spiritual heart of the island. On a private tour, we’ll stroll around the lake, visit traditional markets, and take part in the evening ritual at the Temple of the Tooth. 📅 March 31 | Panoramic Train to Ella One of the most awaited moments: the iconic panoramic train ride to Ella (approx. 7 hours). We’ll cross tea plantations, lush mountains, and postcard-perfect bridges. Upon arrival, free time to relax and soak up the laid-back vibe of this beloved traveler’s town. 📅 April 1 | Ella & Arrival in Mirissa In the morning we visit the picturesque Nine Arch Bridge and stop at a spice garden to enjoy a traditional Sri Lankan lunch. In the afternoon, we head south to Mirissa, where turquoise waters and tropical beach life await. 📅 April 2 | Safari in Yala & Udawalawe A true adventure: a safari combining Sri Lanka’s two most famous parks, Yala and Udawalawe. By jeep, we’ll search for elephants, buffaloes, deer, crocodiles, and with some luck, the elusive leopard. A day in wild nature you’ll never forget. 📅 April 3 | Relax in Mirissa After so much discovery, time for pure relaxation. Enjoy the sun on the beach, swim in the Indian Ocean, sip fresh fruit juice under the palm trees, or simply watch the fiery sunsets that make Mirissa unforgettable. 📅 April 4 | Colombo & Flight Home We say goodbye to the south coast and return to Colombo.
