Beautiful Sri Lanka
A 7-day Sri Lanka wildlife tour through misty mountains, safari plains and primary rainforest.
Overview
This 7-day Sri Lanka wildlife tour opens with elephants and closes in rainforest. Between the two: tea estates at Nuwara Eliya, the 880-metre drop at World’s End, the blue train into Ella, leopard tracking at Yala, and Sinharaja — the last primary rainforest left on the island.
