After arriving at Colombo Airport, we'll meet each other and drive together to Kitulgala. Here, we can rest from the long flight and later explore a bit of the surrounding area. Our driver and vehicle remain at our disposal at all times. Upon request, a tour start from other locations is also possible, such as Kandy, Galle, etc.
It's time to say goodbye to Sri Lanka. After breakfast, we'll transfer you to the airport — about a 3-hour drive from Mirissa. As you head home, we hope you're taking with you unforgettable memories of the mountains, temples, wildlife, and beaches that made this journey so special. We wish you a pleasant flight home!
Free and easy. A real Holiday.
Auch heute laden die glasklaren Wellen von Tangalle zum Baden oder Surfen ein. Zwischen puderweißem Sand und schattigen Palmen bleibt viel Raum zum Entspannen – ob beim Schwimmen im warmen Wasser, bei einer Massage oder einfach beim Genießen des Sonnenuntergangs über dem Indischen Ozean.
Wir verlassen Udawalawe auf dem Weg zu unserem abschließenden Strandaufenthalt, wo wir uns bereits den Rest des Tages am Strand von Tangalle entspannen können. 3 Tage zum reinen Entspannen und genießen aller Annehmlichkeiten, die das Hotel und die Umgebung zu bieten haben. Möglichkeiten sind beispielsweise professionelle Massagen, Tauchen und Schnorcheln, oder auch Whale-Watching, welches vor Ort organisiert werden kann. Dies sind die Ruhetage, an denen abschließend nochmals Kraft geschöpft werden kann.
Today we dedicate a full day to fully immersing ourselves in nature and its abundant wildlife. We head into the national park by jeep to observe the animals in their natural habitat. Overnight in Udawalawe, right next to the park.
At our own pace, we climb Adam's Peak. This cone-shaped mountain is one of the most revered in the world, a pilgrimage site for Christians, Muslims, and Hindus alike. Those who reach the summit before dawn may, under good weather conditions, witness an unforgettable sunrise. After the descent and a shower at our guesthouse, we continue on to Udawalawe National Park — approximately a 3.5-hour drive. Countless birds can already be spotted in the immediate vicinity of the hotel. After checking in, we head out for a short walk through the local area, where binoculars and cameras really come into their own. We round off the day relaxing by the pool.
This time, we set off early in the morning by train toward Hatton, from where today's hike through diverse and species-rich forests begins. This route is one of the hidden paths usually inaccessible to regular tourists. We pass through tea plantations and stunning hill country, rewarded with fantastic views over Sri Lanka. Afterward, we continue on to Maskeliya at the foot of Adam's Peak, where we can prepare for tomorrow's climb. (Ascent at a time of your choosing.)
After breakfast, we set off for Bambarakanda Falls, the tallest waterfall in Sri Lanka. The hike leads over mountains with endless panoramas, past further waterfalls, and finally to a natural pool where we can swim. Later, we meet our bus, which comfortably takes us back to the hotel.
Am Morgen fahren wir mit dem Zug los, von Ohiya zum Thangamalay Waldreservat. Der Weg führt uns durch Eukalyptus-, Tannen- und Regenwälder und über die Teeplantagen dieser wunderschönen Berglandschaft. Hier sehen wir Sri Lanka von seiner schönsten Seite. Wir wandern ca. 5 Std. zu unserer Lodge in den Bergen fernab von allen umliegenden Dörfern. Durch die extrem geringe Lichtverschmutzung Sri Lankas können wir hier Nachts unzählige Sterne und Sternschnuppen beobachten. Sicherlich ein weiteres Highlight unserer Tour. Übernachtung in der Ohiya Hill Safari Eco Lodge.
