Sri Lanka Kandy, Ella & Galle Trip
Overview
Sri Lanka Kandy, Ella & Galle Trip from Mumbai
Sri Lanka — the Pearl of the Indian Ocean — packs an incredible diversity of experiences into one small island: ancient Buddhist temples, misty hill country tea plantations, a legendary train ride through the clouds, a UNESCO-listed Dutch colonial fort, and golden beaches fringed by palms. This 6-day itinerary covers the very best of Sri Lanka — from the sacred Temple of the Tooth in Kandy to the iconic Nine Arch Bridge in Ella, the stunning Train to Ella, and the colonial charm of Galle Fort.
The Sri Lanka Trip from Mumbai begins with a morning flight to Colombo and a drive to Kandy, where you visit the Royal Botanical Gardens at Peradeniya and enjoy an evening walk by Kandy Lake. Day two is devoted to the Temple of the Tooth, the Kandy Cultural Centre, the Bahirawakanda Buddha statue and a forest walk in the Udawatta Kele Sanctuary, capped with a traditional Kandyan dance performance. On day three you board the famous Kandy–Ella train, a seven-hour scenic journey through tea plantations and misty valleys, and spend the evening at the Nine Arch Bridge.
The trip continues with a sunrise hike to Little Adam's Peak, a tea plantation tour, Ravana Falls and Ravana Cave, before driving to Galle for the Dutch fort, its ramparts and lighthouse, and Unawatuna Beach. The final day is spent at Bentota Beach before the drive back to Colombo airport for the return flight to Mumbai. The package includes return flights from Mumbai, five nights of hotel stays, breakfast daily, most lunches and dinners, the Kandy–Ella train ticket, an English-speaking guide and all monument entries. Indian travellers can get a Sri Lanka ETA visa on arrival for US$35. Book this Sri Lanka Trip from Mumbai with Mumbai Weekenders on WhatsApp at 916351771180.
