Tour overview

Would now be the best time to tell you that Sri Lanka is home to the world’s oldest human planted tree? If this doesn’t reflect the island country’s old-world charm, then its timeless ruins and legendary temples certainly will. At the south-east of India, Sri Lanka is home to UNESCO world heritage sites and inhabits an ancient architectural culture of its own. While one aspect of this country is discovering the ancient ruins, the other is discovering yourself through the vibrant beaches, rainforest treks and national parks.
