Sri Lanka Tour Package – 9 Days

This Sri Lanka 9 day tour is designed for travellers from Europe. Covering Sigiriya, Kandy, Nuwara Eliya, Ella, Yala, Galle, Bentota, Colombo and Negombo, it blends the cultural triangle, two full nights of hill-country tea estates, the Ella train region, a Yala wildlife safari and a south-coast finish — a well-paced week-and-a-bit for travellers with a direct or one-stop flight from most European hubs. Private air-conditioned transport, an English-speaking chauffeur guide, and airport transfers are included throughout.

Your 9 Days Sri Lanka Tour at a Glance

Planning a getaway from Europe? This 9 days in Sri Lanka itinerary is shaped around what European travellers consistently ask for: a comfortable, unhurried pace, genuine cultural triangle sites, real time in tea country, and a proper wildlife safari at Yala — all reachable on a direct or single-stop flight from most European hubs.
Whether you’re travelling as a couple, a family, or with friends from the UK, France, Germany or elsewhere in mainland Europe, this 9 day Sri Lanka itinerary gives Nuwara Eliya’s tea country a proper two nights rather than a single rushed overnight, and finishes with a genuine two-day taste of the south coast at Galle and Bentota. It’s entirely private throughout: your own vehicle and driver-guide, never a shared coach group.
