Where to go
One small island, five completely different worlds
Sri Lanka is roughly the size of Ireland, yet you can watch a blue whale in the morning and stand in cool tea country by evening. These are the places we build most trips around.
Sigiriya
A royal palace on top of a 200-metre rock, abandoned for 1,500 years
Dambulla Cave Temple
Five caves, 153 Buddhas and 2,100 square metres of painted ceiling
Polonnaruwa
A medieval capital best seen from a bicycle at eight in the morning
Anuradhapura
A sacred city 2,300 years old, still full of pilgrims at dawn
Kandy
The last kingdom, a sacred tooth, and a lake in the middle of the hills
Nuwara Eliya
Tea estates, cold mornings and a hill station that never quite stopped being British
Ella
A gap in the mountains, a famous bridge and the best short walks in Sri Lanka
Yala National Park
The highest density of leopards anywhere on earth — and jeeps to match

Questions travellers ask us first
Straight answers, no sales talk. If yours is not here, message us and we will reply personally.
How do I get a quote from Ceylonara Tour?
Message us on WhatsApp with your rough dates, how many days you have and what you are interested in. That is enough to start. We send back a day-by-day itinerary with hotel options at three price levels and a full cost breakdown, usually within 12 hours. It is free and there is no obligation to book.
Are your tours private or in a group?
Every tour we run is private. You travel with your own party only, in your own air-conditioned vehicle, with the same English-speaking chauffeur-guide for the whole trip. There are no fixed departure dates — you travel when you want to.
How much does a Sri Lanka tour cost?
Our private tours start from around USD 890 per person for seven days and USD 1,190 for ten, based on two people sharing a room in mid-range hotels. That includes accommodation, breakfast, the vehicle, the driver-guide, fuel and airport transfers. Site entrance fees typically add USD 100 to USD 160 per person. Travelling as a group of four or more brings the per-person price down noticeably.
What is included in your tour prices?
Accommodation, daily breakfast, a private air-conditioned vehicle for the whole trip, a licensed English-speaking chauffeur-guide including his meals and accommodation, all fuel, tolls, parking and taxes, airport transfers, a local SIM card and 24/7 WhatsApp support. Anything not included is listed clearly on each tour page — we would rather show you the whole number up front.
Do I need a visa to visit Sri Lanka?
Every foreign visitor needs an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) before flying. Since May 2026, nationals of 40 countries — including the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, most of the EU, India, China and Japan — receive a 30-day double-entry tourist ETA free of charge, though the application is still compulsory. Apply only at the official site, eta.gov.lk.
When is the best time to visit Sri Lanka?
It depends which coast. December to March is best for the south and west coasts, the hill country and Yala. April to September is best for the east coast, Trincomalee and Arugam Bay. March is the strongest all-island month. Tell us your dates and we will build the route around the weather rather than against it.
Ready to see Sri Lanka properly?
Tell us your dates and what you love. We will send a personal day-by-day itinerary and a clear price — usually within 12 hours, with no obligation.
