Sri Lanka Tour Packages from Bangladesh Option – 01 (3 Days)

Day 1 – Nuwara Eliya

Nuwara Eliya

After a warm welcome from the T2 Travels Sri Lanka team member at the Airport, we will head out on the tour. We take you to the beautiful hill country for our first stop, which is a 4.5-hour ride from Katunayake Airport.

Nuwara Eliya is a town located in the hill country surrounded by misty mountaintops, countless tea plantations, Victorian-style architecture, and cascading waterfalls. Fondly referred to as ‘Little England’, Nuwara Eliya has always been a popular choice among travellers.

The ‘tea’ experience!

The best thing to refresh yourself after a long drive is a warm cup of Ceylon tea! There’s plenty of that in Nuwara Eliya, whether you want black tea, milk tea, spice tea, or green tea – you get it all.

After a refreshing cuppa, take a walk through one of many tea plantations in the area. You can also take a tour of a tea factory to find out the process that goes into creating some of the teas in the world.

Many tea factory tours are free and you are even served a nice hot cup of tea at the end of it! Most majour tea factories have cafes where visitors can enjoy delectable snacks and tea while overlooking the lush greenery.

If you are not a tea drinker, at the end of the tour you will be! Who can resist such fine tasting teas!

Your Nuwara Eliya experience is incomplete without visiting one of the many waterfalls.

Lover’s Leap

This is one of the closest waterfalls from the Nuwara Eliya Town. The 30-meter high fall streams down from the highest mountain in the country – Piduruthalagala. There’s a compelling story behind the name Lover’s Leap, ask our guides to tell you!

Ramboda Falls

If you are a huge fan of waterfalls then taking the time to go to the famous Ramboda Falls is worth it. The ride takes up to 2 hours from Nuwara Eliya. It’s a spectacular sight.

Stroll around town

Nuwara Eliya town has some resemblance to an old fashioned European city. The Victoria Park, Post office Building, and Gregory’s lake some of the highlights in the city that’s worth checking out!

Day 2 – Galle

Galle

On the second day of the tour, you will discover the enchanting city of Galle, located in the southern coastal belt of Sri Lanka.

Nuwara Eliya and Galle are poles apart and that’s what makes this tour so exciting. We give you a unique experience at each and every city.

Galle is packed with rich history, culture, and surrounded by the most breathtaking beaches. The main highlight of Galle is the Galle Fort, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Some people spend their whole time in Galle, exploring the Galle Fort – it’s just that amazing!

The Galle Fort is a historic and archeological masterpiece. The Portuguese constructed the Fort but it was the Dutch that expanded it to the scale that is seen today.

It is not famous only as a historical site but the narrow cobbled streets are flanked with chic cafes and restaurants, eccentric lifestyle boutiques, lovely villas, and much more.

Many foreigners have moved to the Fort because of its vibrant vibe that’s so tropical- European!

Take a walk along the ramparts and watch the sunset.

Check out the Galle lighthouse and take awesome photographs.

Visit the Dutch reform church, Maritime Archeology Museum, Meeran Mosque, and Sudharmalaya Buddhist Temple

Day 3 – Colombo

Colombo

Colombo is the commercial capital and biggest city in Sri Lanka. Many visitors assume Colombo is like the metropolis in other South Asian countries but interestingly it’s not.

Colombo does have skyscrapers, big shopping malls, and heavy traffic but it doesn’t apply to the whole city.

The business-like commotion is actually in one part of the city and even within that, you get extreme tranquility in places like the Seema Malakaya.

There are more than a hundred and fifty Buddha statues in various heights, colours, and sizes.

The temple is very well maintained and is one of the most popular historical sites in Sri Lanka.

Tip – There are wild monkeys everywhere at the entrance, along the way, and inside the temple. They are generally harmless but if you carry food or flowers, they WILL jump at it, so make sure to carry such items in a bag.

Jathika Namal Uyana (Ironwood Forest)

When people think of Dambulla, they only think of the Dambulla Cave Temple. However, not many people know there is a hidden treasure within a short drive, which is the Jathika Namal Uyana.

Day 3 – Yala

Yala

On the third day of the Sri Lanka tour packages from Bangladesh, we will explore one of Sri Lanka’s greatest assets – wildlife.

Sri Lanka’s biodiversity is one of its main possessions. Wildlife enthusiasts and adventure seekers have a chance to explore the country’s pristine wildlife.

Yala National is one of the most famous national parks in the country boasting to be among the top leopard spotting sites in the world.

You will also find an abundance of elephants, monkeys, water buffaloes, golden jackals, and deer.

It is worth noting that a total of thirty-two mammals are recorded from the park.

The park is also rich in birdlife and close to 120 bird species are recorded over the years.

You get birds of prey such as crested serpent eagle and white-bellied sea eagle as well as water birds that include flamingo, varieties of Storks, Pelican, Grey, and Purple Heron and Darters.

Safari at Yala National Park

This is an extraction from a blog post written by one of our clients that went on a Leopard Safari at Yala National Park. We are sharing this to give you a sense of what kind of excitement awaits you during a safari with us.

“Four excited visitors along with the T2 Travels Sri Lanka guide and I set off to another stimulating journey within the Yala National Park.

It was an intensely hot day but it was soothing to be out in the evening exploring the wild and a safari especially in Yala can brighten anyone’s spirit.

Before we left the camp we were aware that it was the mating season for leopards and we had our fingers crossed.

As the safari jeep reached the Darshana Wewa junction in the park we were hushed by our guide who pointed towards a sight we were all waiting for…a couple! Everyone was excited since this impressive sighting of TWO LEOPARDS TOGETHER finally rewarded our patience.

This was surely an exciting moment especially if you are as enthusiastic as we are about leopards. Since these spotted big cats prefer a solitary life, you will rarely see two adult leopards together unless during the mating season.

All eyes were glued at this rare sight but the pair was oblivious to their audience and continued with the ferocious frolicking. The snarling and growling sounds that scared us seemed to be the leopard mating rituals in which they conveyed their love or lust.”

When to go

The best time to visit Yala is from February to September. The driest times are the best to spot animals, which is from June to August. During rainfall from October to January, the park is at its greenest.

Best time for a safari

The best time to start your safari is in the morning or late afternoon. If it’s in the morning you have to be there by 5 am and the evening session is usually at 3 pm.

Day 4 – Tangalle

Tangalle

On the final day of the Sri Lanka tour packages from Bangladesh itinerary, we cover the self-contained city of Tangalle.

It is home to one of the best-preserved beaches in Sri Lanka that remains pristine and less crowded.

Tangalle is located in the Hambantota district towards the southern coast. With pleasing weather and breathtaking golden sandy beach, it has managed to stay away from mass tourism as much as possible.

You can spend the day enjoying exciting watersports such as snorkeling, diving, surfing, and even whale watching.

One of our personal pastimes is to lounge carelessly on the beach sipping drinks and getting up only to enjoy the best seafood dishes.

Tangalle beach

To the west of Tangalle, there is a string of natural bays lying in between vivid rocky headlands and some of them are superb for swimming.

Medaketiya and Medilla beaches are located to the east of the town; these are where the watersports take place. You can go turtle watching at the Rekawa beach located to the east of Tangalle.

Visit Mulkirigala rock temple

The Mulkirigala Raja MahaViharaya is an ancient Buddhist rock temple, which has similar architecture and design to Sigiriya Rock.

King Saddhatissa constructed the temple in the 3rd century AD. Located within 30 minutes of Tangalle, it has amazing architecture, paintings, and sculptures.

Bird watching in Bundala

The Bundala National Park is a pioneering bird-watching destination located within a short drive from Tangalle. It is the first-ever to be declared a Ramsar site in Sri Lanka.

The park is home to 32 species of mammals and out of which 5 are considered endangered. The park is a paradise for bird watchers with rich birdlife of close to 200 species including the migratory waterfowl.

Wildlife enthusiasts have a lot to look forward to at Bundala with a significant number of elephants, estuarine crocodiles, turtles, and even leopard roaming the grounds.

Turtle spotting at Rekawa beach

Over the years turtle watching has been added to the list of things to do around Tangalle. You get five species of (sea) turtles in Sri Lanka, the green turtle, loggerhead, Olive ridley, leatherback, and hawksbill.

Abundant of green turtles come to the Kosgoda and Rekawa beach. The green and black oval shaped shells are how you can identify them. The Olive Ridelys are the most commonly seen in Lankan shores.

They are the smallest marine turtles and they have green shells. The biggest sea turtles are the leatherbacks and they consume only jellyfish.

Even the hawksbill turtles have a unique palate that feeds on toxins release from shell fish and jelly fish.

Consuming leatherback meat has proven to be fatal. The least common turtles in Sri Lanka are the Loggerheads.

They have large heads and the distinguishing colour of the carapace makes it easy to identify them. Loggerheads feed on sponges, jellyfish, mussels and a variety of fish.
