Trade the coastal calm of Hiriketiya for Sri Lanka’s lush interior on this scenic day trip. Start your journey with an exciting safari at Udawalawe National Park, where you can spot elephants and other wildlife in their natural habitat.
Then head into the misty highlands of Ella, a relaxed mountain town surrounded by tea plantations and waterfalls. Enjoy fresh Ceylon tea, visit iconic spots like Nine Arches Bridge, and take in the cool air and stunning views.
Kick off the day with an early morning open-top jeep safari. This park is famous for its large herds of Asian elephants, as well as buffalo, deer, crocodiles, and a wide variety of birdlife. Guided by experienced trackers, you'll have the chance to witness wildlife in its natural habitat.
Wind through the highlands and pass neatly trimmed rows of tea bushes. Stop at a working tea factory, where you'll learn how world-renowned Ceylon tea is made, from leaf to cup. Finish with a tasting session and panoramic views of the hills.
