This sri lanka itinerary 10 days covers Sigiriya, Anuradhapura, Kandy, Nuwara Eliya, Ella, Yala, Galle, Bentota and Colombo. Compared with our 9-day route, 10 days in Sri Lanka adds a full day trip to the ancient city of Anuradhapura, giving real depth to the cultural triangle alongside tea country, a Yala safari, Ella’s scenery and the south coast. Private air-conditioned transport, an English-speaking chauffeur guide, and airport transfers are included throughout.

Your 10 Day Itinerary at a Glance

Looking for the most complete sri lanka tour package we offer without going into two weeks? This sri lanka itinerary 10 days is it — covering the ancient cities of Sigiriya and Anuradhapura, cultural Kandy, cool hill country in Nuwara Eliya, scenic Ella, a Yala safari, and a proper finish across Galle, Bentota and Colombo.

This is the fullest version of our popular multi-day routes — 10 days in Sri Lanka gives you an entire extra day in the cultural triangle for Anuradhapura, on top of everything in our 9-day itinerary. Every tour is entirely private: your own vehicle and driver-guide throughout, never a shared coach group.
