Description
Your private Sri Lankan holiday is the perfect opportunity to combine culture and relaxation in amazing settings. Sri Lanka is known for its Buddhist culture and heritage and there are plenty of sites on this tour to give you an understanding of this central tenet of Sri Lankan life. What is more, the monuments and temples that you will encounter cannot fail to amaze. From your Habarana base you will visit a range of sites, the close proximity means that you will have time to relax and be ready for a new adventure the next day. The Dambulla Cave Temple will leave you awestruck. Towering 150m above the plain on its rock base, the complex offers a range of amazing range of statues and murals from its 2,000 years of history. At Aukana you will see the beautifully preserved 12 metre high statue of Buddha cared out of the granite rock face. Sigiraya Rock Fortress was once described in 1907 by John Still: "The whole face of the hill appears to have been a gigantic picture gallery... the largest picture in the world perhaps.” This fortress built on a rocky column some 200 metres above the plain is one of the best-preserved examples of ancient urban planning. The impressive water gardens below might compete for your attention as much as the fantastic frescoes above. Your Sri Lanka holiday is rounded off with a three -night stay in Beruwala, where you can enjoy the pleasures of the beach. Sri Lanka is surely the perfect holiday for combining culture and relaxation.

What our travellers are saying
Never been somewhere where so many people say they keep coming back. Thank you for finding me this holiday destination.

On our trip there was so much to do. We enjoyed outdoor activities and the adventurous things to do. We were nicely surprised and will be coming back for sure.

Every turn held more beauty than we expected. We were humbled by the size of the surrounding peaks. The feeling of being in a cathedral never left us as we stopped in deserted spots and just gazed at our surroundings.

Amazing New York highlights were a Broadway show, Central Park, Empire State building and Time Square. We visited MoMA which was amazing to see all best artwork in the world, we were just not expecting it, every room we went into there was another masterpiece. Our hotel was under a mile from the subway station and we saw how the New Yorkers live and commute.

Utah was my favourite part. There was so much to do and it was like nothing I’ve seen before. Really liked Capitol Reef as it was much quieter and we were so close to it. Will always remember going star gazing, brilliant.

We saw loads of animals, bison, black and grizzly bear, elk, deer and even wolves in the distance. Waterfalls and lakes were magnificent and the trails that we walked were all so beautiful and well worth visiting.

Expectations were to see lakes and mountains. But with National Park Traveller's help there was something to do everywhere we turned.

We saw all of Las Vegas and really glad we've done it. All the hotels were amazing. I will always remember driving towards Las Vegas, you're just driving for hours through dessert and it suddenly pops up out of nowhere.
