A journey packed with variety

Few destinations offer as much variety as Sri Lanka. Climb the famous Sigiriya Rock Fortress, wander through sacred temples in Kandy, ride the iconic train to Ella, hike through lush tea plantations and head out on safari in search of elephants, crocodiles and, if you're lucky, even a leopard. Finish your trip with a few days on the south coast, where laid-back beach towns, great surf and fresh seafood provide the perfect ending to your adventure.

Because distances are relatively short, you'll spend less time travelling and more time exploring. It's one of the reasons Sri Lanka is such a rewarding destination for a group adventure. You get to experience an incredible amount without constantly packing and unpacking or spending long days on the road.

Why travel to Sri Lanka with a group?

Sri Lanka is one of those destinations where every day feels completely different. Wake up surrounded by misty tea plantations, spend the afternoon spotting elephants in a national park and end the day watching the sunset on a tropical beach. In just a couple of weeks, you can experience ancient kingdoms, incredible wildlife, scenic train rides and some of Asia's best beaches.

Travelling with a KILROY small group means you don't have to worry about how to fit it all together. We've already planned the route, arranged the transport and found the experiences that make Sri Lanka so special. Along the way, your local tour leader will introduce you to authentic food, hidden gems and local stories that bring the country to life. All you have to do is enjoy the adventure and share it with a group of like-minded travellers.
