14 days is the ideal amount of time for a tour of Sri Lanka which will leave you feeling well versed in the countries culture and diversity, without feeling exhausted and in need of another holiday. It also allows for a good relaxation period on the beach which can easily be extended by adding days onto your trip or removing aspects of the recommended tours if they don't appeal.

Below we have compiled three very similar itineraries, the only difference being the standard of accommodation and therefore the price. Each 2 week tour is designed to cover the major sights while maintaining a relaxed pace and therefore your energy levels. Following a restful day in the rural outskirts of Colombo in order to acclimatise, you head up to the Cultural Triangle, via Pinnawela Elephant Orphanage. Spend a few days exploring Sri Lanka 's cultural heritage either on foot or in a hot air balloon, before ascending into the glorious scenery of Kandy and the hill country. Having soaked up the splendid views and tranquility of this region move down to either the historic Galle Fort for a few days of gift shops and al fresco dinning or head into one of Sri Lanka's national parks to spot leopard and elephant.
