A Tearrop of Endless Wonder
Sri Lanka Tour Package
Colombo · Kandy · Ella · Sigiriya · Galle — The Pearl of the Indian Ocean in 6 Days
Starting from
₹28,999 /person
Package Overview
Sri Lanka is one of South Asia's most underrated destinations — a teardrop-shaped island with extraordinary diversity packed into a small area. Ancient Buddhist ruins, rolling tea plantations, colonial-era hill towns, wild elephants, pristine Indian Ocean beaches, and extraordinary street food — all within a 3–4 hour drive of each other.
Our 5-night circuit is the classic Sri Lanka loop. Colombo (the capital) → Kandy (the cultural heart, home of the Temple of the Tooth) → Ella (the most beautiful hill country) → Sigiriya (the dramatic 5th-century Lion Rock fortress) → Galle (the UNESCO colonial fort town on the south coast).
Sri Lanka is very close to India — direct flights from Chennai take just 1 hour. The ETA (e-visa) is free and same-day. It's the easiest international destination for Indian travelers, and one of the best value. Best months: November–April for most of Sri Lanka.

Must-Visit Places
Top spots you cannot miss on this trip
landmarkSigiriya Rock Fortress
A 200m vertical granite monolith with the ruins of a 5th-century royal palace on top. The famous mirror wall with ancient graffiti and the celestial fresco gallery of 21 "cloud maidens" are on the ascent.
Climb before 8am — it's cooler, less crowded, and the morning light on the surrounding jungle is spectacular. The climb takes 40 minutes up.
landmarkElla — Nine Arch Bridge
A colonial-era stone railway viaduct in Ella's green hills — one of Sri Lanka's most photographed landmarks. The Kandy–Ella train ride itself is one of Asia's most scenic railway journeys.
Time the Nine Arch Bridge at the train schedule (10:45am and 6pm are the best departures). The viewpoint is a 15-minute walk from Ella town.
cultureGalle Fort
A 17th-century Dutch colonial fort-city on Sri Lanka's south coast — UNESCO World Heritage. Pastel colonial buildings, rampart walls overlooking the Indian Ocean, boutique cafes, and independent jewellery shops.
Walk the full 1.3km rampart circuit at sunset. The lighthouse end gives the best views. The fort has some of Sri Lanka's finest restaurants inside the colonial walls.
Experiences & Activities
What you'll do on this trip
Kandy–Ella Scenic Train Ride
A 7-hour train journey through tea country — arguably the most beautiful railway ride in Asia. Misty hills, waterfall gorges, and colonial-era tunnels from the 1800s.
Whale Watching — Mirissa
Blue whale and sperm whale watching from Mirissa beach (November–April) — Sri Lanka has one of the world's highest blue whale sighting rates. Dolphins often ride the bow wave.
Travel Tips
Expert advice before you go
Sri Lanka ETA (Electronic Travel Authorization) is currently free for Indians — apply at eta.gov.lk (3 business days processing).
Book the Kandy–Ella first-class train 3–4 weeks ahead — it sells out completely.
Sri Lankan cuisine is extraordinary — try kottu roti (chopped flatbread), hoppers (fermented rice crêpes), and the seafood curry in Galle. Carry antacid — the spice level is real.
Roads in Sri Lanka are slow — 300km can take 6–7 hours. Don't over-schedule driving days. Take the train wherever possible.
Traveler Reviews
“Sri Lanka is like a smaller, slower India but with better beaches, better roads, and cheaper food. The Kandy-Ella train was the most beautiful journey. Sigiriya is breathtaking. Perfect first international trip.”
Sri Lanka 5N Package
“We came to Sri Lanka after India and loved it. So much easier to navigate than India — everything is close together. Galle Fort is gorgeous. YlooTrips sorted the ETA and everything was smooth.”
