Sri Lanka Tour Packages from Bangalore Option 1 (6 Days)

Day 1 – Kandy

Kandy the cultural capital of Sri Lanka is the best city to begin your holiday in the ‘land like no other’.

The last ancient capital in the country, Kandy is considered the sacred protector of Sri Lanka as it is home to the DaladaMaligawa (the temple housing sacred tooth relic of Buddha).

Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the late 80’s Kandy, is an important landmark in Sri Lanka’s cultural triangle.

Sri Dalada Maligawa of the Tooth is the highlight of Kandy. It is one of the most sacred places of worship for Buddhists from around the world.

The temple houses the sacred tooth relic of Buddha, which was brought to Sri Lanka after his death. The Temple of the Tooth is located in the heart of the Kandy city.

The Tooth relic is safely guarded inside a shrine room where visitors are only given a chance to go three times a day during pooja (offering and prayer) time.

The tooth relics are kept inside a golden casket and you will only see the casket. There is much to see around the temple so expect to spend at least 2 hours here.

Tip – Make sure to wear clothes that cover your shoulders and are up to your knees.

Just outside of Kandy is the Peradeniya Botanical Garden. It was once used exclusively for the royal family members but during the 18th century, it was open to the public.

The botanical garden holds onto its grandeur and is still fit for royalty. It’s a massive garden with the famous orchid patches, rubber trees, coconut palms, and much more. In the evening a stroll around the Kandy Lake will set the mood for the next excursion.

The Kandyan dance performances are a great cultural experience. Kandyan dance includes not only dancing but also acrobats, drumming, and pirouettes. The performance ends with the dancers walking on fire, barefoot!

Day 2 – Nuwara Eliya

Your next stop in the Srilanka tour package from Bangalore is NuwaraEliya. There are two options to travel from Kandy to NuwaraEliya when you are on a tight schedule – by train or in a private car.

Many people take the train ride since it’s considered one of the most scenic routes in the world and we agree with them.

The lush green tea plantations enveloped around rolling hills are quite a spectacle. A drive would of course be faster and more comfortable but the scenery would not be the same.

When nearing NuwaraEliya, the first thing you will notice is the change in weather. It’s no wonder the city is referred to as Little England with the freezing weather and colonial-style buildings speckled everywhere.

You can start by visiting one of the many tea plantations. They will give you a tour of the plantation and take you through the process, which goes into creating a cup of Ceylon tea. You will be served free tea too!

The cascading waterfalls are another highlight of NuwaraEliya. There are many waterfalls here but you can pick and choose which ones you prefer to visit.

Ramboda Falls, Lover’s leap, Devon Falls, and Glen falls are a few of the main ones you can visit. In the evening have fun at Gregory Lake.

Enjoy simple water activities such as jet skiing and swan boat rides on Gregory Lake. The area around the lake has a lovely patch of greenery, which is ideal to ride bicycles, run, play or have a picnic.

Head back to your hotel, snuggle up and unwind!

Once a simple and quiet village that stood out for its natural beauty and lush greenery has now become a backpacker’s paradise.

There will not be changes in the weather from NuwaraEliya to Ella but you will feel more relaxed and it’s far less chaotic than Kandy.

Ella has some great outdoor adventures. The hike to Little Adam’s Peak is one of them.

Since you don’t have enough time to hike Adam’s Peak, this is the next best thing! Start your hike before sunrise and it takes up to 30 – 40 minutes to reach the summit.

Once you are at the top, you can wait for the sunrise and yes it’s – breathtaking!

The Nine Arch Bridge is another highlight of Ella. The rail bridge, which is made of cement and stone without the use of steel, is a lovely piece of architecture.

When you walk on top of the arches, you will be met with spectacular views of the mountain peaks and tea plantations.

There are plenty of chic cafes serving mouthwatering western dishes and toe-tapping music playing in the background.

Ella has a bustling strip of bars and restaurants down the main road. Some places have live music and they serve some super cocktails.
