Travelling around Sri Lanka from coast to highlands is interesting and easy.

But we’ve spotted a high-value package which means travellers don’t have to navigate it alone.

They will be in a group with a minimum size of two, and a maximum of 16.

It is called 14 Day Ultimate Sri Lanka Premium, and is a package from Inspiring Vacations.

In “dedicated private transportation”, it starts in Colombo, then heads to Galle, Yala National Park, Nuwara Eliya, Kandy, Sigiriya and Negombo before heading back to Colombo.

+ We like the fact the tour has just been reduced to $4046 per person, twin share (down by $1348). Flights can be added from $1399.

+ What’s more, travellers can “bring a friend for half-price” by using the code BUDDY50.

+ Shared rooms are available for solo passengers. An Inspiring Vacations spokesperson explains: “This tour offers solo passengers the option to share a room with a fellow passenger of the same gender and avoid the single traveller supplement.”

+ They include two nights at the Grand Hotel in Nuwara Eliya, with high tea.

+ Breakfast and dinner daily, and five lunches.

+ It is fully escorted by an English-speaking leader.
