Sri Lanka Tours

A tropical paradise of golden Buddhist stupas, verdant tea plantations and majestic wildlife

Beyond the tea. Into the ritual.

With sandy, palm-fringed beaches, jewelled cultural treasures and magical chance encounters with elephants all on offer, a Sri Lanka tour has a magic all of its own.

On your Sri Lanka trip, why not visit the ancient rock fortress at Sigiriya, rising high above the rainforest canopy; see elephants in their natural environment tugging at the grass and grazing on palm fronds; and watch out for darting leopards too.

Discover rare species and the gemstones that first drew travellers here. Explore paddy fields by bike; lose yourself in maze-like rows of highland tea plantations; and let juddering tuk tuks zip you through the underbrush to hidden expanses of beach.

Our tours in Sri Lanka provide a fantastic mix of culture, history, people, food, wildlife and beaches, and Exodus – with the help of our expert local guides – promises to get you closer to the action than anyone else.

Top 5 Sri Lanka Tour Highlights:

1. Wildlife encounters: If you’re not lucky enough to see elephants grazing at the side of the road, Yala National Park is where it’s at. Here majestic elephants, powerful bears, skittish deer, languorous leopards and a rainbow of exotic birds can all be found.

2. Friendly local guides: For most people, one of the best things about trips to Sri Lanka is the warm charm of the people. Our local guides are chosen for their friendly nature, knowledge and enthusiasm, and will be able to tell you all about the history of the country and their way of life.

3. Off-the-beaten-track adventures: We’ll take you down back streets to see real-life Sri Lanka, eat with local people and really get to know what makes the country tick.

4. Local accommodation: All four-star, and run by local families, so our guests on our tours in Sri Lanka get an authentic experience.

5. Personalised trips: Pick and mix from the normal Sri Lanka tour itineraries to create an Exodus private group adventure that’s perfect for you and your group.

How long are the Sri Lanka trips?

Our incredible Sri Lanka tours start at 8 days (excluding flights) and extend all the way to 15 days. Soak up as much or as little of this awe-inspiring culture as you want and pick from a variety of Sri Lanka tour durations. No matter if you want a whistle stop tour of the very best of what the Island of Serendipity has to offer, or a more comprehensive and immersive 14 nights experience discovering the north, south and everything in between, we have a Sri Lanka tour for everyone.

This trip was more than a holiday. It really helped you get under the skin of Sri Lanka and it’s people. From visiting temples and monuments, catching a sight of the varied wildlife or experiencing lunch with a local family, this trip really had it all. Whilst it was a full-on, busy tour, I still felt relaxed and refreshed upon my return home, mainly due to the fact that everything in the tour had been so well organised and planned. A plan B was ready for when the trek deemed not possible due to the rain and Roshan our tour leader took everything in his stride and made the guiding of the trip seem effortless.

For a new trip, we were really impressed. Excellent organisation and adaptability. A few tweaks from Exodus regarding the itinerary and hotels can make this a best seller. We were only a small group (3 single travellers and us – a mother and daughter), and we had a fantastic time!
