Sri Lanka packs an improbable amount into a short drive. In a week you can climb a rock fortress, walk through a tea plantation at altitude, sit on a beach and look for leopards, and never spend more than half a day getting anywhere. Sigiriya is the fortress — a sheer block of rock with a palace on top, frescoes halfway up and lion's paws at the entrance — with the cave temples at Dambulla nearby. Kandy holds the Temple of the Tooth and the last of the old kingdom, and from there the hill country climbs to Nuwara Eliya, all tea estates and colonial bungalows in the mist. The train onward to Ella is regularly called one of the most beautiful rail journeys anywhere, and it earns it. The south coast has Galle, a Dutch fort town you can walk the walls of at sunset, and Bentota's beaches. Yala in the south-east has the highest leopard density in the world. Our trips run five to eight days, private, and shaped around the dates you have.

Every Sri Lanka trip on this page can start from any Indian city. The city pages say how long the flight is from there and whether there is a non-stop. Package prices are for the land part of the trip; a planner quotes the flight separately on request, so you choose the airline and the dates.
Five days covers Kandy with the Pinnawala elephants on the way, two nights on the Bentota coast with a Madu river boat ride, and a Colombo city tour; six days adds a Galle Fort and Mirissa day or a night in Nuwara Eliya's tea country; seven days fits a Sigiriya day, Kandy, Nuwara Eliya or Ella and the south coast; eight days adds a Yala jeep safari or slows the same loop down. Four days is too short for more than Kandy and one beach, which is why the plans here start at five.
Stays are in Kandy for the hill capital, Dambulla or Sigiriya for the rock fortress, Nuwara Eliya or Ella in the tea country and Bentota on the south-west coast for the beach days, with Galle and Mirissa as day trips and a last night in Colombo.

That is a land package: the hotels, airport transfers, the sightseeing and activities listed on each trip page, and a planner on WhatsApp through the trip. Flights from India are not included; they are quoted separately so you pick the airline and dates. Visa and entry fees are paid separately unless the trip page lists them. We apply for your Sri Lanka ETA for you.
Sri Lanka is one of the closest foreign holidays from South India: under an hour and a half of flying from Chennai or Bengaluru, a free ETA for Indian passport holders (as of September 2026), food that feels familiar, and tea hills, a rock fortress, elephants, Ramayana sites and beaches within one week's drive. The price moves with the hotel category, the month and the group size, so share those three and you get an exact quote rather than a starting figure.
Every Sri Lanka plan here comes at two stay levels. Standard is a handpicked 3-star hotel in each place and is the listed price. Deluxe is the best available 4-star at about ₹6,000 more per person, chosen on the trip page. Five-star stays, a pool villa or a named property are quoted on request at the day's rate.
Name the hotel you want - a chain you trust, one you found on a booking site, or the one a friend stayed in - and the planner rebuilds the quote around it. The private plans are yours to change: the number of nights in each place, the order of the days, a sightseeing swap or an extra day; the fixed-date group departures keep their own hotels and schedule.
The hotel names go on your quote and your voucher before you pay anything, with the room category and the meal plan, so what you compare is exactly what you get. Travloger plans and runs the trip from the first message to the last day: the quote, the stays, the visa or entry permit, which we apply for, the transfers and a planner on WhatsApp throughout.

Friends and solo travellers take the standard plans and split rooms; every trip here is planned around your dates and group, and where a tour or day trip runs on a shared basis, the trip page says so.
Bentota is about four hours' drive from Kandy and the easiest beach base on the south-west coast: a boat ride through the Madu river mangroves at Balapitiya, a turtle hatchery, water sports where the river meets the sea, and Galle Fort and Mirissa close enough for a day trip.
10 trips on this page, from ₹35,000 per person: 5 Days Sri Lanka Kandy Bentota Bliss (5D/4N, from ₹35,000); 5 Days Sri Lanka Bentota Beach Retreat (5D/4N, from ₹35,000); 6 Days Sri Lanka Kandy Coast Getaway (6D/5N, from ₹38,000); 6 Days Sri Lanka Kandy Galle Bliss (6D/5N, from ₹41,000).
Sigiriya is a granite rock about 180 metres high with the ruins of a fifth-century palace on top, climbed past the frescoes and the Lion's Paw, and the Dambulla cave temple is about half an hour away. From Kandy both fit into one long day trip, about two and a half hours' drive each way, or you spend a night near Dambulla and see them at an easier pace.
5 trips on this page, from ₹35,000 per person: 6 Days Sri Lanka Sigiriya Dambulla Adventure (6D/5N, from ₹35,000); 7 Days Sri Lanka Ella Hill Country Escape (7D/6N, from ₹44,500); 7 Days Sri Lanka Kandy Sigiriya Escape (7D/6N, from ₹48,100); 7 Days Sri Lanka Kandy Sigiriya Honeymoon (7D/6N, from ₹50,100).
Nuwara Eliya sits at about 1,870 metres among tea estates, two and a half to three hours up from Kandy past the Ramboda falls and its Hanuman temple, with the Seetha Amman temple, linked by tradition to the Ramayana, a few kilometres outside town. Ella, about two hours further along the hills, has the Nine Arches Bridge, Little Adam's Peak and Ravana Falls.
6 trips on this page, from ₹35,000 per person: 6 Days Sri Lanka Sigiriya Dambulla Adventure (6D/5N, from ₹35,000); 6 Days Sri Lanka Kandy Galle Bliss (6D/5N, from ₹41,000); 7 Days Sri Lanka Ella Hill Country Escape (7D/6N, from ₹44,500); 7 Days Sri Lanka Kandy Sigiriya Escape (7D/6N, from ₹48,100).
12 places most Sri Lanka trips are built around, in the order a first visit usually takes them. Five days covers Kandy with the Pinnawala elephants on the way, two nights on the Bentota coast with a Madu river boat ride, and a Colombo city tour; six days adds a Galle Fort and Mirissa day or a night in Nuwara Eliya's tea country; seven days fits a Sigiriya day, Kandy, Nuwara Eliya or Ella and the south coast; eight days adds a Yala jeep safari or slows the same loop down. Four days is too short for more than Kandy and one beach, which is why the plans here start at five.
Visa: Indian passport holders need a Sri Lanka ETA (Electronic Travel Authorization). Sri Lanka's Department of Immigration and Emigration says every foreign visitor must obtain one before arrival. We apply for your ETA for you on the official eta.gov.lk site before you fly. As of September 2026 it is issued free of charge to Indian nationals, under a scheme in force since 25 May 2026, according to news reports. It allows 30 days in the country with a double entry and can be extended inside Sri Lanka for a fee. Your passport needs at least six months of validity from the day you land, and immigration can ask to see a confirmed return ticket and proof of funds. The free scheme is a government decision that has changed before, so we confirm the fee on eta.gov.lk when we apply; if one applies by then, it is paid separately.
Flights: Non-stop flights to Colombo are scheduled at about 1 hour 20 minutes from Chennai, 1 hour 25 minutes from Bengaluru, 2 hours from Hyderabad, 2 hours 30 minutes from Mumbai and 3 hours 35 minutes from Delhi. SriLankan Airlines flies all five routes; as of September 2026 IndiGo also flies from Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Mumbai, and Air India from Mumbai and Delhi. SriLankan also flies from Kochi, Thiruvananthapuram and Madurai.
Best time: December to April is the season for the classic circuit, and January to March are the driest months: sunny weather on the west and south coasts at Bentota, Galle and Mirissa, and clear days at Sigiriya and in Kandy. December can still be showery in Kandy and the hills, and April turns hot with afternoon thunderstorms. Late December, January and mid-April are the busiest and dearest weeks. From May to September the south-west monsoon brings rain (heaviest in May and June) and rough seas to that coast, which is when the east coast has its best months and west-coast hotels are cheapest. October and November are the wettest months in Colombo, Kandy and much of the island.
Money: Sri Lankan rupee (LKR), about 3.4 rupees to one Indian rupee as of September 2026. Visa and Mastercard work in hotels, larger restaurants and shops; carry cash for tuk-tuks, small cafes, temple offerings and roadside stalls. Not every ATM accepts foreign cards and card skimming is common, so use ATMs inside banks or hotels. UPI works at some Sri Lankan merchants through NPCI International, but acceptance is patchy, so treat it as a back-up rather than the plan.
The longer answers, one page each: what the whole trip costs from India, the ETA rules for Indian passports, the best months, a day-by-day itinerary and the comparison people ask about most.
