Top Sri Lanka Helicopter Transfers

Travel through Sri Lanka like a local—by train—to take in the sights on your journey. Departing from Kandy, the journey to Badulla (Ella) is considered one of the country's most scenic journeys and departs twice per day to fit your schedule. Second or third class tickets include reserved seats.

Climb to the ruins on Sigiriya Rock and explore the Buddha-statue-packed caves of Dambulla—this small-group tour from Colombo removes the stress from visiting two of Sri Lanka’s highlights. Settle into an air-conditioned vehicle with a driver-guide, and admire the scenery on route into the island’s lush heartlands. Visit Dambulla and then stop at Sigiriya, where you can climb the rock or just stroll its gardens. Admissions are at your own expense.

See wild elephants and other wildlife of Udawalawe National Park on a private safari with hotel pickup.

For Sri Lankans, as for Italians, dining remains a ritual to be treasured.
