7 Days of Sri Lanka with all inclusive Ayurvedha Uplift

Experience the Best of Sri Lanka in 7 Days with All-Inclusive Ayurveda Uplift

This 7-day tour through Sri Lanka offers a perfect mix of adventure, culture, and wellness. Starting from Colombo or Negombo, you’ll explore iconic sights like Ravana Falls, the Nine Arches Bridge, and the Sigiriya Rock Fortress, all while enjoying comfortable accommodations, scenic train rides, and guided visits. Two days are dedicated to Ayurvedic treatments in Sigiriya, making this a rejuvenating escape as well as an adventure.

What we love most? First, the way this tour combines authentic cultural landmarks with breathtaking natural scenery—think lush tea plantations and ancient temples. Second, the Ayurveda uplift package offers genuine relaxation with tailored massages and wellness practices that leave you feeling renewed.

Day 1: From Colombo to Ramboda via Ella and Nuwara Eliya

We start early, at around 5:00 AM, to beat the crowds as we visit Ravana Falls in Ella—a powerful, roaring waterfall that’s perfect for quick photos. Then, the highlight is the scenic train ride from Nuwara Eliya to Ramboda, where the train snakes through lush tea plantations and mountains, offering some of the best views in the country.

We love the Nine Arches Bridge, a marvel of colonial architecture set amidst jungle, and the hike up Little Adam’s Peak, which rewards you with panoramic vistas. In the evening, a visit to the Old Post Office in Nuwara Eliya provides a nostalgic glimpse of colonial times, before heading to Ramboda for the night.

The day starts with a visit to Ambuluwawa Tower in Gampola, where you’ll enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding hills and valleys. Next, a tour of an Ayurveda Spice Garden immerses you in traditional herbal remedies, giving insight into Sri Lanka’s wellness traditions.

The afternoon is dedicated to the Dambulla Cave Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site filled with elaborate Buddha statues and ancient murals. As the day winds down, you’ll ascend the Sigiriya Rock, famous for its massive lion’s paws and incredible views from the summit. It’s a challenging climb but well worth the effort for the sweeping vistas.
