08. Cultural, Scenic & Wellness Sri Lanka ( 10 Days/ 9 Nights )

Overview

Sri Lanka has practised the art of healing for over three thousand years. Its Ayurvedic tradition, its meditative Buddhist culture, and its extraordinary natural environments combine to make the island one of the world's most powerful destinations for genuine wellness travel. Our wellness retreats are designed to restore, rebalance, and renew – not as an add-on to a holiday, but as the very heart of the journey itself. You will travel by private A/C vehicle with an English or other available language-speaking chauffeur-guide, with pre-booked entrance to Anuradhapura (Sacred Bodhi Tree, Ruwanwelisaya Stupa), Sigiriya Rock Fortress, Dambulla Cave Temples, the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic, and the scenic train journey from Nanu Oya to Ella.
