kabarsula Railbookers adds two new itineraries in Sri Lanka bandar SLOT INDONESIA

Railbookers has added two new itineraries in Sri Lanka, an increasingly popular destination for Australian travellers.

The new Highlights of Sri Lanka and The Best of Sri Lanka holidays showcase the diversity of the island, taking travellers from cities and temples to jungles.

Showcased in both itineraries is the railway journey from Kandy to Ella. The route travels through Sri Lanka’s hill country, passing mist-covered mountains, forested valleys, waterfalls and tea plantations.

“Sri Lanka is exactly the kind of destination that demonstrates why rail belongs at the heart of an unforgettable holiday,” Railbookers director of product development Gareth Jones said. “The journey from Kandy to Ella is extraordinary, but it is only one part of what makes the country so special.”

The two itineraries

The nine-day Highlights of Sri Lanka itinerary travels from Colombo to Galle, with two-night stays in Colombo, Kandy, Ella and Galle. Experiences include private sightseeing tours of Colombo and Kandy, admission to the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic, a visit to a tea plantation and factory near Ella, and a private walking tour of historic Galle Fort.

The 13-day The Best of Sri Lanka itinerary visits Negombo, Sigiriya, Kandy, Ella, Yala, Galle and Colombo. In addition to the Kandy-to-Ella railway journey, highlights include Sigiriya Rock Fortress, the ancient Dambulla Cave Temples, a wildlife safari in Sri Lanka’s Cultural Triangle, two game drives in Yala National Park and time along the Indian Ocean coast.

Both itineraries combine rail travel with handpicked hotel accommodation, private transfers and included sightseeing. As with all Railbookers holidays, each trip can be customised with additional nights, upgraded hotels and other experiences to suit the individual traveller.
