Sri Lanka's lesser-known gems
We have created this itinerary with social distancing in mind given that it is a feature of life for now. This program incorporates visits to lesser-known and, therefore, less crowded places that are well-regarded by locals. It will give travellers a different perspective of our beautiful country. As you visit these destinations, you will notice that the nature that surrounds these places is not spoilt, remains lush and offers a tranquility hard to find in Sri Lanka's tourist spots. The accommodation has been handpicked so that you are staying in smaller, secluded habitations which, as well as being COVID-friendly, means that you get to enjoy true peace on your travels.

Sri Lanka’s location close to the equator ensures that you can rely on year-round warmth, but the monsoons complicate the picture as they affect different parts of the island at different times. Locals claim that the sun is always shining somewhere on the island, but for reliably settled weather without excessive humidity the best time to visit is between December and March.
