Q1. What is included in the Sri Lanka Tour Package and how long is the trip?

The Sri Lanka Tour Package (Tour A) covers 4 nights and 5 days across Kandy, Nuwara Eliya, Bentota, and Colombo, including accommodation on a half-board basis (breakfast & dinner) at all hotels, transportation by air-conditioned car/van with an English-speaking chauffeur guide, and site entrance fees for the Pinnawela Elephant Orphanage, Kandy Temple, and Turtle Hatchery. Guests enjoy highlights like the Pinnawela Elephant Orphanage, a spice garden visit, the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic, the Royal Botanical Gardens (optional), the Kosgoda Sea Turtle Conservation Project, and sightseeing in Nuwara Eliya, Bentota, and Colombo. Airport meet-and-greet assistance and water bottles on arrival are also included.

Q2. Are the sightseeing tours and transfers in this Sri Lanka Tour Package private or shared?

This Sri Lanka Tour Package is run on a private basis throughout, with all transfers between cities (Colombo to Kandy, Kandy to Nuwara Eliya, Nuwara Eliya to Bentota, and Bentota to Colombo) as well as sightseeing stops handled by a dedicated air-conditioned vehicle and English-speaking chauffeur guide. This means the itinerary isn’t shared with other travellers and timings can be adjusted somewhat, unlike a coach-based (SIC) tour. Note that some visits, such as the Royal Botanical Gardens in Peradeniya, are marked as optional and can be included or skipped based on time and preference.

Q3. Do I need a visa to travel to Sri Lanka, and is it included in the package cost?

Most travellers, including Indian passport holders, need to apply for an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) before entering Sri Lanka, though visa policies can change, so it’s best to confirm current requirements with the Sri Lankan authorities or your travel consultant before departure. Visa charges are explicitly excluded from the package cost, as noted in the itinerary’s exclusions, and must be arranged independently by the traveller.
