About the trip
This 13-night escorted tour from Explore Worldwide begins in the coastal town of Negombo, taking in Sri Lanka’s less trodden Wilpattu National Park in search of leopards and elephants. It then moves inland to historic Anuradhapura and Mihintale, where stone steps lead to panoramic views and a sense of the island’s deep Buddhist roots.
