Sirin is the BEST!
My recent trip to Chiang Mai was nothing short of magical, and our tour guide played a huge part in making it so memorable. From the moment we met, Sirin welcomed us with warm hospitality and an infectious passion for sharing the beauty, history, and culture of northern Thailand. More

Excellent Trip Planning by Alisa Liu at Asia Highlights
Alisa did a wonderful job! She was very detail oriented, extremely responsive and answered my questions very promptly. She incorporated all of the places we wanted to visit and was able to book hotels, airline tickets and special event tickets (to the Chiang Mai CAD Khomloy Sky Lantern Festival which was sold out when I tried booking on my own.) Alisa was great to work with and I recommend that others use her for their trip planning. More

Excellent experience in Bangkok
Ying was our guide in Bangkok. She was very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. She knew exactly how to move us through crowds quickly so that we could see all we wanted to say and made good recommendations for other things we were interested in. I would not hesitate to recommend Ying or anyone that helped us at Asia highlights More

Suggested Itinerary for Inspiration
Normally the full-day guided tour starts from 9 am and ends around 5 pm. Your preferences design the real journey. The days, stops, and travel pace can be adjusted. We're ready to create a unique Sri Lanka trip for you.
Our chauffeur-guide will meet you at the arrivals hall and take you to your hotel in Kandy, which takes around 3½ hours.
- Go to the Royal Palace of Kandy to explore the regal past of Sri Lanka. Kandy was the last capital of the kingdom of Sri Lanka (from 1469 to 1815) and currently serves as a major religious and cultural center.
- Adjacent to the palace is 'Temple of the Tooth', which houses a sacred tooth relic of the Buddha. This temple is an integral part of the palace complex and attracts thousands of pilgrims and tourists.
- Drop into a beautiful little local home built in the 1970's where your host will teach you the art of Sri Lankan cooking and all the stories related to the food they eat.
- Stop on the way from Kandy to Nuwara Elliya, admire the natural beauty and take some photos at Ramboda Falls.
- Visit Pedro Tea Factory, and explore the tea making process from plucking to packaging, enjoy tea tasting sessions, and take in the breathtaking views of the surrounding plantations.
- Indulge in the serene beauty of Gregory Lake, where peace and tranquility merge with picturesque surroundings.
- Hike on Horton Plains to explore the park's unique ecosystem and witness its natural wonders. The trail continues to World's End and Baker's Falls, where you can enjoy more beautiful vistas and a refreshing waterfall.
- Take a scenic train from Nuwara Eliya to Ella, then your chauffeur-guide will drive you to Udawalawe.
- Starte the day with a jeep safari in Udawalawe National Park early in the morning, around 6:00 AM. This is an active time for the park's abundant wildlife, particularly elephants, making it ideal for wildlife spotting.
- Stroll through Galle's old town, meandering along narrow streets and alleys that evoke Sri Lanka's colonial era vibe, transporting you to a bygone time.
- Near sunset, you can witness the ethereal sight of fishermen perched on stilts against the scenic backdrop of the ocean.
Day 6 is an unscheduled day of leisure, when you can simply relax at your hotel's private beach or engage in water sports. As a popular beach destination, Galle offers many breathtaking beaches, including Unawatuna Beach, Jungle Beach, and Dewata Beach.
Say goodbye to enchanting Sri Lanka. Your guide will accompany you to Bandaranaike International Airport to board your flight back home or onward.
