Starting in Dambulla and ending in Colombo, the tour "Walking Trails Of Sri Lanka" is a guided wildlife trip that takes 15 days. You will travel through Kataragama, Adam's Peak, Ella and 7 other destinations in Sri Lanka. "Walking Trails Of Sri Lanka" is a small group tour which includes accommodation, transport, meals and others.
When the typical tourist route takes in dazzling beaches, fragrant spice gardens, emerald tea hills, safari wildlife and a glut of Unesco-listed landmarks, it’s no wonder few leave the well-worn path in Sri Lanka. But go beyond the classic circuit and you’ll discover a wealth of beauty and intrigue that you don’t need to share with anyone else. This two-week walking adventure combines the can’t-miss highlights, including the Sigiriya rock fortress, sacred Adam’s Peak and the wildlife of Yala National Park, with the lesser-visited trails of the Knuckles Mountain Range, where we pass rice paddies and villages virtually undiscovered by the tourist hordes.
