Welcome to Sri Lanka!!! Your chauffeur will be waiting for you at the arrival lobby at the airport with a Paging board with your name on it. You will drive to Kandy soon after your arrival, there are few activities lined up for the evening half of the day. A visit to Kandy Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic which is the most venerated place in Sri Lanka by Buddhists are the first two activities of the day. The last activity of the day would be a cultural performance in a cultural center that would entertain you with a mix of cultural dances.
Get ready in the morning for your next unforgettable experience, a scenic train ride from Kandy to Ella – one of the best train rides to make in Sri Lanka. You will pass tea plantations, mountains, misty forests, winding your way through local villages, waving at smiley locals standing in their backyards, or working in the fields, disappearing into smoky mountain tunnels and emerging into the cool rush of pristine mountainous air – a photo fest for you!
Your first stop after early breakfast will be the highly Instagrammed Nine Arches Bridge. Occasionally, the train pauses on the bridge to give visitors a special photo opportunity, so keep your fingers crossed for that. From there, you’ll be taken for a hike up Little Adam’s Peak where you can see more spellbinding scenery over the highlands.
Leave for Colombo; the commercial capital of Sri Lanka. The drive will take a maximum of 3 ½ hours.
