Questions about this trip
What is included in the 5-night Sri Lanka package?
The land price covers 5 nights in 4★ hotels with daily breakfast; Private air-conditioned car with an English-speaking chauffeur-guide throughout; Hill train tickets; Pinnawala, Temple of the Tooth, tea factory and Galle Fort entries; Airport pickup and drop. Everything in that list is confirmed in writing on your itinerary before you pay anything.
What is not included in the price?
Not included: International flights (quoted live for your dates); Sri Lanka ETA; Travel insurance; Lunches and dinners; Tips, personal expenses and anything not listed above. We publish exclusions as prominently as inclusions, so there is nothing left to discover at the hotel counter.
Is ₹36,900 per person, and does it include flights?
₹36,900 is per person on twin sharing — two people sharing one room — and it is the land price only. International flights are not in it. We quote the airfare live for your own dates from your own airport and show it as a separate line, so you can see exactly what each part of the trip costs instead of one bundled number. Travelling alone costs more, because of the single-occupancy supplement.
Do Indian passport holders need a visa for Sri Lanka?
Free ETA · 30 days. Indian passport holders get a free 30-day, double-entry tourist visa through Sri Lanka's ETA system. Full details, with the official source, are in our Sri Lanka guide.
When is the best time to visit Sri Lanka?
December to March for the west and south coasts (Colombo, Galle, Bentota) and the hill country. April to September for the east coast (Trincomalee, Arugam Bay). May–June and October–November are the wettest on the south-west coast, which is where our standard route runs. We run this trip year round and will tell you honestly if your dates fall in the wrong season. Full details, with the official source, are in our Sri Lanka guide.
Can we change this itinerary?
Yes. This is a starting point, not a fixed departure. Tell us your dates, how many of you are travelling and what you actually want to see, and we rebuild it — more nights, a different hotel grade, a different order, or a city added. You get a written day-by-day itinerary and an itemised price before you pay anything, and a quotation is not a booking.
How do we book, and what do we pay up front?
Call or WhatsApp us and we send a written itinerary and quote. To confirm, you pay a booking deposit, with the balance due by the date shown on your proposal — the schedule depends on the destination and on how far ahead you book, because hotels and airlines set their own deadlines. A booking made close to departure is payable in full at confirmation. The exact amounts and dates are always written on your proposal before you pay anything, and the full booking conditions are published.
