Sri Lanka

Ancient Cities | Colombo | Hill Country | South Coast

Sri Lanka is located at the southern tip of India, just north of the Equator and surrounded by the Indian Ocean. The coasts are tropical with many palm lined sandy beaches and charming towns. The centre of the country is fairly mountainous, has a cooler climate and is dotted with tea plantations and old colonial buildings. Sri Lanka has some spectacular ruins in the north of the country and its many national parks contain abundant wildlife, including monkeys, deer, buffaloes, elephants and even leopards. In Sri Lanka we have arranged for you to have an air-conditioned chauffeur driven car from Hemtours at your disposal for the duration of your stay, with an unlimited mileage. This, together with the fact that your chauffeur is also an extremely knowledgeable guide, gives you the flexibility of not having to organise excursions and sightseeing in advance, and giving you the possibility of doing what ever you choose, at your leisure.
