This Sri Lanka 8 days tour package is a sri lanka 7 nights 8 days itinerary covering Sigiriya, Kandy, Nuwara Eliya, Ella, Yala, Galle, Bentota and Colombo. It’s the only one of our four 8-day routes that pairs a full Ella day (Nine Arch Bridge, Little Adam’s Peak) with a proper Yala National Park safari, alongside the usual cultural triangle and tea country highlights. Private air-conditioned transport, an English-speaking chauffeur guide, and airport transfers are included throughout.

Your 8 Day Itinerary at a Glance

Looking for a well-rounded Sri Lanka tour package that fits both culture and wildlife into a single week away? This sri lanka 8 day tour is built for exactly that. Over 8 days in Sri Lanka, you’ll climb Sigiriya Rock Fortress, explore Kandy’s temples and tea country, hike to Little Adam’s Peak and cross Ella’s Nine Arch Bridge, go on safari at Yala National Park, and finish with the colonial charm of Galle and a city tour in Colombo.

This sri lanka 8 days tour package packs in more variety per day than our other 8-day routes — it’s the one to choose if you want both hill-country scenery and a genuine wildlife safari without extending the trip to 9 days. Every tour is entirely private: your own vehicle and driver-guide throughout, never a shared coach group.
