Trip Itinerary
Day 01 | Negombo
- As you exit the Bandaranaike International Airport, a My Pio Travel representative will greet you and guide you towards a luxury chauffeur-driven vehicle that will take you around the country. This representative will be your driver-cum-guide throughout the tour. To begin your 7-day Sri Lanka itinerary, you will be taken to the neighboring town of Negombo, where you will check in to Jetwing Blue on a bed and breakfast basis for the first night.
Day 02 | Sigiriya
- Early the next morning, you will depart for Sigiriya. En route, you will stop at the Pinnawela Elephant Orphanage for some one-on-one interaction with the elephants of Sri Lanka. In the afternoon, you will visit the ‘Lion’s Rock’ in Sigiriya – approximately 1200 steps to climb. This rock climbing activity is doable and recommended for most tourists as you get to see some beautifully engraved frescoes of the ancient era and the remnants of a fortress at the top of the rock, not forgetting the tremendous view from the summit. Aliya Resort and Spa is where you will be staying in Sigiriya.
Day 03 | Kandy
- After breakfast the next morning, you will head towards Kandy after exploring the nearby Dambulla Cave Temple (300-400 steps to climb). Three and a half hours later, you will reach Kandy, after having visited the Ayurvedic Herbal Gardens on the way. In Kandy, visit the Temple of the Tooth and then check in to Golden Crown Hotel on day 3 of your 7-day Sri Lanka itinerary.
Day 04 | Nuwara Eliya
- Have an early breakfast on day 4 and then visit the Royal Botanical Gardens in Kandy to discover a wide range of flora, including some beautiful orchids. Next, prepare for a three-hour drive to Nuwara Eliya. On the way, you will visit the gorgeous Ramboda waterfalls, a picturesque tea plantation, and also take a tour of a tea factory. In Nuwara Eliya, you will check in to the Grand Hotel for a night, inclusive of breakfast the next morning.
Day 05 | Ella, Yala
- By 9:30 am on day five of this 7-day Sri Lanka itinerary, you have to be at the Nanu Oya railway station for the most scenic train journey in Sri Lanka – from Nanu Oya to Ella. It is advisable to make your bookings early for this train ride to get seats on a good carriage. Your My Pio Travel chauffeur will pick you up with your bags at the Ella railway station and then drive you to Yala (two and a half hours). You have the remaining day to relax and indulge in the luxury surroundings of Jetwing Yala.
Day 06 | Galle
- Early the next morning, a jeep safari ride will await you at your hotel to take you for a game drive at the Yala National Park. Mingle with the wildlife and try to spot the rare leopard if you are lucky! The game drive should be done by early morning (before the sun gets too hot) and you can have your breakfast then (or you could opt for a picnic pack before you leave for the safari). Next, check out from the hotel and depart for Galle – three and a half hours from Yala, located on the southern coast of Sri Lanka. En route, you will visit the Weligama fish market and when in Galle, take a tour of the Dutch Fort and its surroundings. A luxury ocean view room at Amari Resort awaits you in the evening.
Day 07 | Colombo and Transfer to Airport
- After breakfast on day 7, check out and head towards the bustling city of Colombo (2-hour drive). In Colombo, you will be shown around the city and taken to visit the Gangarama Temple, Manning Market, Pettah and Fort area, Old Parliament Building, Galle Face Green, Independence Square, BMICH, Town Hall, and Lotus Pond area. This city tour will only be possible if your onward departure is towards the latter part of the day or, better yet, towards the night. The airport is another hour’s drive from Colombo.

Our family vacation through Sri Lanka with My Pio Travel was fantastic. We appreciated the flexibility in the schedule, which allowed us to explore at our own pace. From bustling Colombo to the tranquil shores of Mirissa, every destination offered something unique. The wildlife safari in Yala National Park was a highlight, where we saw leopards and elephants up close. The accommodations were top-notch, especially the beachfront villa in Bentota. Highly recommend My Pio Travel for anyone seeking a well-rounded Sri Lankan experience!
I had an incredible solo trip to Sri Lanka thanks to My Pio Travel. They curated an itinerary that perfectly balanced adventure and relaxation. From exploring the ancient city of Anuradhapura to unwinding on the beaches of Unawatuna, every moment was memorable. The local guides were friendly and knowledgeable, providing insights that enriched my understanding of Sri Lankan culture and history. The accommodations were comfortable and conveniently located. My Pio Travel exceeded my expectations, and I can't wait to plan another trip with them
