FAMILY FUN (6 NIGHTS / 7 DAYS)

Itinerary

DAY 1: AIRPORT - COLOMBO

Ø  On arrival in Sri Lanka, please clear immigration, collect your luggage then proceed through the customs green channel to the arrival lobby. We will be waiting in the designated area with a paging board.  You will then be escorted to the vehicle park for your transfer.

Ø  Transfer from Airport to Colombo (Approx: 1 Hr)

Ø  Enjoy Colombo City & Shopping Tour: Colombo, the commercial capital of Sri Lanka, is a major port near the mouth of the Kelani Ganga River. It owes its importance largely to its great breakwaters, which give shelter to a large, artificially created harbour. Beira Lake, administratively part of the Port of Colombo, is connected with the harbour by a canal and locks. Colombo handles most of the foreign trade of Sri Lanka and is an important fuelling station. Colombo is a mix of old and new beautifully intermingled… you will see old colonial style buildings of the time of the British rule, as well as new high rise sky scrapers… Shop international designer brands as well as some of the traditional shopping hubs of Colombo city, visit street markets for some ‘isso wadey’ and some kottu rotti… take a tuk tuk ride near Galle face green… relax and unwind… with an arrack cocktail in hand as you watch the Indian ocean roll by… it is a city and a metropolis, but at a slower pace… a more Sri Lankan pace… Colombo is a place you will enjoy, as it has something for everyone. Back at the hotel to relax and unwind

Ø  Evening Enjoy Hot Air Ballooning at Dambulla: Glide majestically above ruined cities, sail over undisturbed wildlife and hover as the sun rises through the morning mist on the horizon: hot air ballooning is a magical treat and there are few better places to do it than Sri Lankas ancient triangle. With little or no sensation of movement or perception of height, hot air ballooning is a unique and magical way to experience a country. Travelling at the same speed of winds makes for a feeling of sensational tranquility, while the earth rotates beneath you and the views rapidly expand. Those lucky enough to experience Sri Lanka from the air are guaranteed a beautifully peaceful morning flight with the sunrise glimmering through the morning mists on the horizon, little specs of blue and white clothed children making their way to school, wide blue wewas (reservoirs), sleepy meandering rivers, ancient temples and peaceful paddy fields. The silence is only occasionally broken by a burst of the burners, but otherwise this is a deeply peaceful experience which brings with it a wonderful intimacy with the incredibly landscape of Sri Lanka.
