Classical Tour

Known by an assortment of names, our island is a package of such diverse delights that she had more than her share of conquerors. Once they came, they stayed.. giving us a rich mosaic of languages, cultures, traditions and religions.

This tiny drop-shaped island has a documented history dating back to 500 years BC, a rich cultural heritage, breathtakingly beautiful landscapes from lowland to mountains, and palm fringed golden beaches.

On our classical tour you will see some of the more famous and beautiful things that our land has to offer. From beaches to wildlife to ancient cities. So come join us in Sri Lanka and live a few days amidst beauty, warmth and hospitality; amongst people who know how to make your stay satisfying and memorable.

The ruined cities of Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa, Dumbulla, and Mihintale convey the grandeur of a rich civilization. Visits to Aukana, Ritigala, Medirigiriya and Yapahuwa offer glimpses of a long-vanished historic era.

Explore the impressive remains of palaces, ornamental pools, archways, audience halls, ponds and temples built from stone and granite. Enormous irrigation tanks or reservoirs built over 2000 years ago still continue to function perfectly today. A tribute to the skill of our ancient engineers.

The ruins of Sigiriya - A palace built on top of a 600 foot rock is a superb example of ingenuity, skill and the vanity of a patricidal Sri Lankan King.

Legend has it that the world's first wildlife sanctuary was created in Sri Lanka by a King in the 3rd century BC. It is recorded in the ancient Buddhist scriptures - "The King decreed that all human beings should follow the hallowed Buddhist precept of not harming any form of life".

Bird Watching Tours

With 427 species on the island's avifaunal list, Sri Lanka has no rival for sheer concentration of bird life. 250 are residents of which 26 are endemic species... between August and April there is a regular influx of about 170 migrants.

The country has birds everywhere... in woods, hills and along the seashore! A wealth of them can be found at the national parks, bird sanctuaries, precincts of man-made reservoirs and tanks, river banks, lagoons, salterns and rain forests.

The country's wide variations in elevation, from sea level to 2,530 meters & rainfall that ranges from from 100 cm in the dry zones of the north & south to 500 cm in the central mountains create a variety of climatic conditions within short distances rarely found in any other part of the world.

Though the programme is planned primarily for bird watching a few of the main places of historical, cultural & scenic interest have been included in order to let you experience some of the other interesting facets of Sri Lanka.
