Overview
Did you know that the word “Serendipity” has been derived from the word “Serendip” – a name given to Sri Lanka by the Persians. Serendipity implies happiness that comes from finding something beautiful accidentally, such is the beauty of Sri Lanka – a tear-drop shaped island in the Indian Ocean. Our Sri Lanka Tour Packages are a perfect combination of golden beaches, water sports in the pristine blue ocean, waterfall visits, tea garden strolls, spending time around elephants and sea turtles, exploring the best cities in Sri Lanka and a lot more just to make your island getaway a perfect vacation. Your Sri Lanka Trip will begin with your visit to the elephant orphanage where you can enjoy the playful moments of these adorable Asiatic Elephants. Then you will be exploring the cultural and historical epicentre – the sacred city of Kandy which houses one of priced treasures in Buddhist culture and a traditional Kandyan dance performance will await you here.
