This exciting tour has been designed for active families with children of school going age who are interested in exploring some of Sri Lanka’s natural and cultural delights in the summer holidays (June-September). It starts with a couple of nights to acclimatise staying a converted colonial mansion in the middle of a peaceful coconut estate before heading to a nature resort in the heart of the cultural triangle, near to Sigiriya. You’ll have the opportunity to climb Sigiriya, explore the ancient city of Polonnaruwa on bicycles and visit the cave temples at Dambulla, as well as having a private jeep safari in one of the local national parks, where you are highly likely to see wild elephants. Continue into the hills to the peaceful village of Ella, a great spot for trekking, biking and other outdoor activities and then on to the Gal Oya National Park, teeming with wildlife and less visited than many of the more famous parks in the south. From there it is an easy drive to the east coast and you will have 4 nights relaxing in the luxurious Uga Bay Resort on Passkikudah Beach or similar catagory.
