Wild Sri Lanka
Trip Overview: The wide range of altitudes found in this small island results in a variation of climate and diversity normal only found across a whole continent. Blue whales congregate off the southern coast of Sri Lanka, elephant herds gather in Udawalawe and the elusive leopard rules in Yala. As well as game drives in Sri Lanka’s most famous national parks we visit the steamy Sinharaja Rainforest and relax on the south coast, where the warm waters of the Indian Ocean lap the shore and days can easily drift by from the shade of a palm tree.
Arrive in Kolkata International Airport for a briefing and to meet the rest of the team and then board a midnight flight to Colombo
Upon arrival in Colombo you will be met and driven up into the Tea Country. This will be a fairly long drive of around five hours.
Overnight: Hotel l Breakfast & Dinner
This morning you should make an early start for Horton Plains to arrive at World`s End before the clouds rise! This is a beautiful and fairly gentle walk through a landscape that reminded me of Dartmoor or the Scottish Highlands - a rolling countryside with the soft scent of heather and gorse, and the only noise the gurgling of streams that merge into the crashing Baker`s Falls. You have the rest of the day at leisure.
Overnight: Hotel l Breakfast & Dinner
From Nuwara Eliya you will drive down to Yala, a national park where you have a couple of nights to maximize your chances of seeing the leopard and sloth bear of the area. It is also a beautiful area, and your hotel overlooks the coast with a beautiful stretch of deserted beach. It is a long drive but there is plenty to see en route and you can ask your chauffeur-guide to stop for any photo opportunities.
Overnight: Hotel l Breakfast & Dinner
In the morning and late afternoon, you will join safaris into the Yala National Park. These are interesting safaris and you are likely to see spotted deer, wild boar and wild elephant in addition to a wide variety of birds. If you are really lucky you may also spot sloth bear and leopard! (With on average one Leopard per square kilometer Yala has the highest density of leopard in Asia!)
Overnight: Hotel l Breakfast & Dinner
You will be driven to Uda Walawe today. Here you can visit the Elephant Transit Centre where the baby elephants jostle their way to the gate at feeding times, some cheeky ones pushing back into the queue for a second feeding!
