Ayurveda, Wellness & Slow Travel

☀ 11 Days / 10 Nights📍 Airport – Negombo – Sigiriya – Kandy – Nuwara Eliya – Ella – South Coast – Airport

This itinerary deliberately leaves more space in the day. Gentle sightseeing, tea-country scenery, beach time and optional wellness or Ayurveda experiences are combined with longer pauses at the hotel so the trip feels restorative rather than busy.

Day by Day Itinerary

Private, flexible and designed around a comfortable travel pace.

Day 01

Soft landing by the coast

Airport → Negombo

Your Sri Lanka journey starts with an airport welcome and private transfer, keeping the first day deliberately comfortable after the flight. Plan time for Airport welcome, Gentle coastal walk, Rest and hydration, and Negombo Lagoon. If the pace and local conditions allow, the day can also include Negombo beach. The route stays flexible enough for traffic, opening times and spontaneous photo stops while protecting the day’s main sights. If you prefer more time at one stop, the less important short stops can be trimmed without changing the overall direction of the day.

Plan time for Scenic transfer, Hotel leisure, Sunset nature time, and Sigiriya Rock Fortress. If the pace and local conditions allow, the day can also include Sigiriya Water Gardens and Lion’s Paw and summit ruins. At the heritage sites, allow time for walking, explanations and photographs rather than rushing between monuments.
