Premium Sri Lanka in Depth
Dambulla Lion Rock Fortress
14 Days Small Group Tour in Sri Lanka with Intrepid
Sri Lanka is an island that operates on its own beautiful frequency. It is heard in the early morning calls of street vendors selling fresh hoppers, the rhythmic clatter of the blue train winding through the misty tea hills, and the gentle chatter of monks at ancient temples. For travellers who wish to look past the usual tourist postcard and truly understand the cultural heartbeat of this resilient nation, Intrepid’s 14-day Premium itinerary offers an incredibly sophisticated, insider perspective.
Accompanied by a premier local leader who handles every detail with effortless grace, this is a highly curated holiday for the curious traveller. It is designed for those who appreciate the finer comforts of hand-picked premium lodging, but whose real desire is to return home with a genuine understanding of an island that captures the heart like nowhere else.

Tour Highlights
Experience a touch of old-world grandeur during a stay at the magnificent Grand Hotel in Nuwara Eliya. First established in 1891, this iconic heritage property beautifully pairs its rich past with a strong commitment to modern sustainable practices.
Offers an incredible look into local food traditions. Travellers will participate in a private cooking class within the ramparts of Galle, tour a working tea plantation, enjoy a formal high tea, and gather for a traditional barbecue dinner in Dambulla.
Leaving the daytime crowds behind, the group will head out under the cover of darkness for an evening safari through Yala National Park. This nighttime drive maximizes the opportunity to spot crocodiles, wild elephants, monkeys, and the incredibly elusive leopard.
Explore the monumental ruins, rock fortresses, and giant stupas of Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa, Sigiriya, and Kandy.
