Imagine a trip where you control the itinerary, choosing the destinations, activities, and pace that suit your interests. That’s exactly what Sinhagiri Tours offers with their tailor-made multi-day private packages in Sri Lanka. Starting at just $30 per person, these tours are designed to be flexible—whether you’re craving a quick 7-day getaway or a more leisurely 12-day exploration, you get to decide how to experience this vibrant island.

What we love about this setup is the personalized approach.

It’s an excellent way to see Sri Lanka comfortably, without sacrificing authenticity or local flavor.

A Deep Dive into the Experience

What to Expect from the Itinerary

This tour weaves together Sri Lanka’s cultural highlights, wildlife encounters, and scenic beauty with a level of personal flexibility that makes it stand out. The journey begins in Negombo, where a visit to the Dutch Canal offers a peaceful introduction to local life along waterways. While boat rides aren’t included, the tranquil scenery sets a relaxed tone to start your trip.

Moving into the cultural heart of the island, you’ll spend time in Pinnawala, home to the gentle giants of the elephant sanctuary. Watching elephants being fed and bathed is a touching experience, free from the commercial feel of more touristy parks. The Dambulla Cave Temple follows, featuring stunning rock paintings and Buddhist statues—a spiritual highlight that provides insight into local religious traditions.

A highlight for many is Sigiriya, the ancient rock fortress that is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Rising 200 meters above the landscape, Sigiriya offers breathtaking views and fascinating ruins—a site that combines history, architecture, and natural beauty. We loved the way walking through the fresco-adorned walls felt like stepping into a storybook.

The tour also includes a traditional village tour, where you can enjoy a bullock cart ride, learn about local farming methods, and sample home-cooked Sri Lankan food. The Batik Fair showcases local textile artisans, giving insight into a craft that’s both cultural and artistic.

Wildlife and Nature

On Day 4, the ancient city of Polonnaruwa offers a walk through history—palaces, temples, and statues from Sri Lanka’s storied past. After exploring, you head to Minneriya National Park for a wildlife safari. Here, the large herds of elephants and other wildlife make for an exciting day, emphasizing the importance of nature conservation in Sri Lanka.

The train journey from Nanu Oya to Ella is a standout experience, regarded as one of the most scenic train rides in the world. The views of tea plantations, waterfalls, and lush hills make this a bucket-list moment for many travelers.

Coastal Relaxation and Cultural Gems

After the hill country, your journey takes you to Mirissa Beach, a beautiful stretch of sand with white sands and coconut palms. It’s the perfect place to unwind, soak up the sun, or indulge in optional water activities like snorkeling or jet skiing.

En route, you’ll stop at Hummanaya Bay to see the second-largest blowhole in the world—a natural spectacle worth watching. The beach at Kabalana offers a relaxed setting to enjoy a drink under the shade of palm trees, with options for activities like surfing or fishing, depending on your mood.

The trip continues to Galle, where the Dutch Fort and Galle Lighthouse provide a taste of European colonial architecture mixed with Sri Lankan charm. The mangroves of Madu River offer a tranquil boat ride, showcasing the island’s lush waterways and vibrant ecosystems.
