Christmas in Sri Lanka

16 days from £4,890pp

Travelling 17 December 2023 – 1 January 2024

Christmas is widely celebrated in Sri Lanka with families gathering, preparation of Christmas cake and mince pies, and decorations hung – much like the UK except the weather is far more pleasant with warm, sunny days and balmy nights.

Witness the many highlights of Sri Lanka on this extra special December departure, including the Rock Fortress at Sigiriya, the ruined cities of Polonnaruwa and Anuradhapura and the UNESCO-listed Dambulla Cave Temple with its abundance of Buddhist mural paintings and Buddha statues. Meet the elephants of Udawalawe and spot leopards in Yala National Park with two safari experiences.

Spend Christmas in Sri Lanka’s gorgeous tea country, Nuwara Eliya. On Christmas Eve, enjoy a lovely festive dinner after enjoying a scenic train journey to Sri Lanka's hill stations. On Christmas Day you’ll take part in an exclusive tea plantation experience, receive the gift of a handmade silk saree dress and enjoy High Tea at the iconic colonial era Grand Hotel.
