Sri Lanka is an island nation just south of India, and it is one of the easiest international trips for Indian travellers to take. A Sri Lanka group tour with The Travel Story takes you through the Sigiriya rock fortress, Kandy, the tea hills of Nuwara Eliya, the scenic train to Ella and the beaches of Mirissa. It runs on fixed departure dates with a trip captain, so you do not have to plan anything yourself.
Flying from Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru or anywhere else in India? You only need to reach Colombo. We handle the airport pickup, hotels, transport, entry tickets and the plan for each day from there.
How many days do you need for Sri Lanka?
Seven nights and eight days is enough to cover the cultural triangle, the hill country and the south coast in one trip. Our Sri Lanka Backpacking trip follows this exact plan.
How much does a Sri Lanka tour package from India cost?
Our 7N/8D group land package starts at ₹54,999 plus 5% GST, which is about ₹57,749 per person on double sharing. Flights from India are extra at roughly ₹25,000 to ₹30,000, so plan around ₹85,000 to ₹95,000 in total once meals and shopping are added.
Do Indians need a visa for Sri Lanka?
Indian travellers apply for an ETA online before flying. As per our listing, the 30 day ETA is free for Indians and your passport needs at least 6 months of validity. Rules change, so check the official Sri Lanka government ETA website before you book flights.
What is the best time to visit Sri Lanka?
December to March is the most popular window, with dry weather on the south and west coast and good conditions in the hills. The cultural triangle around Sigiriya is hot and dry from May to September. Whale watching at Mirissa runs from November to April.
Is Sri Lanka safe for solo and women travellers?
Sri Lanka is widely visited by solo travellers and women. Normal city precautions apply. On a group trip you travel with a guide, a driver and a trip captain throughout, and 24x7 assistance is available.
How long is the flight from India?
Flights from most Indian cities to Colombo take under 4 hours. Sri Lanka runs on the same time as India, so there is no jet lag.
Sri Lanka has eight UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and several of them fall on this route.
