Epic East Sri Lanka Tour





- Overview
This 8-day journey takes travelers to the less-explored eastern coast of Sri Lanka, where culture and coastline come together beautifully. From ancient treasures like Sigiriya Rock Fortress and Polonnaruwa to sacred sites in Trincomalee, the itinerary highlights both the island’s heritage and its spiritual depth. Along the way, guests can enjoy quiet beaches in Passikudah and explore local life in towns far from the crowds.
The route balances cultural exploration with coastal relaxation and a touch of adventure. Surfers will love Arugam Bay, while wildlife enthusiasts will appreciate a jeep safari in Yala National Park. Ending with the convenience of Colombo, this itinerary is ideal for those wanting to combine heritage landmarks with off-the-beaten-path seaside charm.
