Tour Itinerary
Itinerary Overview
Sign up for a lovely tour with Tourstro over these five days. We go on a vacation which goes from an elephant orphanage to a UNESCO World Heritage-listed Old Town, from white-water rafting fun to the vibrant and bustling city life of Colombo. In just a few days, this beautiful journey will tempt you to uncover Sri Lanka's hidden charms and experience its most fantastic scenes.
When you step off your long-haul flight in the early morning, the driver will give you a warm welcome at the airport itself, Bandaranaike International Airport. After that, you might have enough time to enjoy a hot cup of coffee and doze off for a few minutes somewhere in a nearby hotel. After a couple of hours, get refreshed and leave around nine or ten in the morning for your trip to Kandy. On your way up to Kandy, you will find Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage. Spend time with elephants there and continue your journey to Kandy. Later, chill out at the hotel reserved in Kandy. In the evening, visit the sacred Temple of the Tooth Relic to seek blessings. After travelling in and around the city for some time, get some dinner, and it's time to get some sleep.
Consider visiting the Bahirawakanda Temple the next morning, just after your breakfast. Take sufficient time on your visit to the place before proceeding further to Peradeniya Botanical Gardens. Come back to the room and spend the day again relaxing, preparing for the evening traditional dance show. Enjoy a traditional cultural dance show in the evening, and later head to a viewpoint (like Arthur's Seat) to witness a stunning night view of Kandy city, in perspective from above. End the day either by dining at a nearby diner or retiring for the night.
On day 3, you make a trip to a different climate division, which is Nuwara Eliya. On the road to Nuwara Eliya, you will see sights like Ramboda Falls, Shri Bhakta Hanuman Temple, Damro Tea Factory with its tea estates, among others. Following the time spent there, you can relax a little at your hotel. Later in the evening, enjoy a lovely city trip and spend some peaceful time at Gregory Park.
On the fourth day, your first stop is Seetha Amman Temple in Nuwara Eliya. Spend the morning there and get ready to leave for Colombo. Going from Nuwara Eliya to Colombo, you will pass Kitulgala on the way. Kitulgala is the most famous area for water rafting. So there you can go rafting and have fun. Afterwards, take some time to relax and cool off as you complete your long journey to Colombo. Enjoy a leisurely drive around Colombo in the evening. After that, you will tour the Gangaramaya Temple, the Red Mosque, and the colourful Pettah market. The perfect time for anyone to visit Galle Face Green is in the evening, around sunset.
On the last day, your last attraction stop is the Lotus Tower. After that, be ready to leave your Sri Lankan tour. So, go to the airport with 5 days of beautiful memories and goodbye to your driver.

An Unforgettable Experience in Sri Lanka with Tourstro
By Natasha Pirani • February 11, 2026
Booking with Tourstro was one of the best decisions I made for my trip to Sri Lanka this past January! I was planning fairly last minute and was initially contacted through their Instagram account (srilankadiaries). Candidly I was a bit skeptical at first, especially as a solo female traveler, but I was quickly connected with my tour consultant, Sayuri, and she was able to help put me at ease. Sayuri built a tour exactly to my specifications and was incredibly responsive, flexible, and patient with every change I asked for. She truly went above and beyond to make sure I could see and do as much as possible in the short time I had. I only had five days in Sri Lanka with four full days of activities, and the itinerary she created was absolutely perfect! During the trip, I visited Dambulla, Sigiriya, Kandy, Ella, and even squeezed in a last minute stop to Mirissa Beach. The tour package included a private driver for the entire trip, and I cannot say enough good things about Randunu. He was amazing! He spoke great English, was so kind and thoughtful, and always made sure I was comfortable and happy. The drives between cities were long at times and we were in a new place almost every day, but Randunu made every part of the journey fun and memorable. He would stop along the way for little local experiences I never would have found on my own, like drinking coconut water straight from the coconut, eating rambutan, and trying dessert with honey. Those moments made the trip feel so special. He even made a highlight reel summarizing all my adventures at the end of the trip! From my experience with both Sayuri and Randunu, it is clear that the people at Tourstro truly care about their clients and genuinely want them to have an incredible experience. My trip would absolutely not have been the same without them, and I cannot recommend Tourstro enough to anyone planning a trip to Sri Lanka!!!
