5-Day Sri Lanka Cultural Tour with Tea Country and Colombo

• Arrive at Bandaranaike International Airport and meet your designated guide, who will take you to Kandy via Pinnawala. Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage is an orphanage, nursery, and captive breeding ground for wild Asian elephants. The main attraction at Pinnawala is watching the elephants walk down to the river twice daily for their bath. Feeding time for baby elephants is also very popular at the orphanage.
• Enjoy lunch and walk along a small trail in the spice garden to touch and smell Sri Lankan spices and herbs used in tasty curries.
• Witness the Kandyan cultural show from 5:15 p.m. This electrifying cultural show showcases traditional music and dance performances. The skills of the traditional musicians of Kandy, their drums, and dance are very entertaining.

Dinner and overnight stay at Oakray Regency Hotel in Kandy.

• After breakfast, leave for Nuwara Eliya, a picturesque colonial town set among the island's central highlands and renowned as a centre for producing Sri Lankan tea.
• En route, stop at Ramboda Falls and visit a tea plantation and a non-working tea factory, with the opportunity for a tasting session.
• Arrive in Nuwara Eliya, also known as 'Little England'. It was the favourite hill station of the British, who tried to create Nuwara Eliya as a typical English village. The old brick post office, the country house-like Hill Club with its hunting pictures, mounted hunting trophies and fish, its strict formal dinner attire, the 18-hole golf course, race course, and more all remind you of 'England'.
