Learn about your adventure to Sri Lanka.

After our last visit in 2024, Sri Lanka is calling us again. This program is prepared for everyone who is looking for an amazing adventure of a lifetime.

The island of Sri Lanka (Ceylon), located in the southwest of India, is a Buddhist country known for its magnificent wildlife that has been the subject of many documentaries, beaches and ancient temples. The country is home to eight UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

We will visit the capital Colombo, attend the Sacred Tooth Ceremony in Kandy, go on a train ride to Ella and photograph world famous Nine Arches Bridge, climb the Lion Rock in Sigiriya, enter magnificent ancient cave temples in Dambulla and relax in Trincomalee. We will explore the ancient holy city Anuradhapura and visit 2300 year old holy Jaya Sri Maha Bodi tree and finally visit Negombo for a great variety of most beautiful photos of daily life in Sri Lanka. There is a lot more than you can image in this program for you to explore and find. Join us on this exciting adventure and tell your great story when you are back home.
