If early enough you may be lucky to see wild elephants crossing the A9 road. As you travel further north, time seems to slowdown as you see fewer and fewer vehicles on the road. The landscape seems to stretch to impossibly distant horizons on either side of the road. Upon arrival check in at Jetwing Jaffna 4* for two night stay.

Afternoon proceed on a sightseeing tour of Jaffna, one of the oldest human settlements in the peninsular region of Northern Sri Lanka. The city was the epicenter of a decade’s long conflict that has now ended.

Point Pedro is a town, located in Jaffna District at the northernmost point of the island. Cotton is produced around Point Pedro in the fertile calcic red latosol soils. The eastern coast of Point Pedro forms a 5 km wide, 32 km  long beach with sand dunes up to 100 feet high, extending to Thalayady.

The porous soil has a water table deep underground with an estimated one billion liters of fresh water. During pre-colonial and even in colonial times, Point Pedro was a bustling hub of export/import activities. The people, whose descendants involved in the import/export business, continue to form the majority of the population of Point Pedro.

Then travel towards the shimmering sands of Manalkadu to take a short walk. The bright afternoon sky hangs heavy upon the pale golden sands that reflects its wild luminescent light and the heat of the sun. Spreading across acres before your eyes will be what resembles a semi-desert heightened by the presence of a few hefty dunes. They loom up like giants, standing out against the otherwise bare landscape. The spectacle that unfolds before you though, is mysteriously breathtaking.

The Lion rock is a citadel of unusual beauty rising 200 meters from the plains overlooking the surrounding countryside giving far-reaching views. Used as a safe haven from invaders, the route to the top is up a series of steep steps and gangways. From the base, where a moat surrounds impressive water gardens, you ascend 200m, passing an overhanging rock under which superb portraits of native maidens holding flowers and temple offerings still adorn the rock wall, ‘the world-renowned frescoes of the ‘Heavenly Maidens’ of Sigiriya, which are in a sheltered pocket of the rock approached by a spiral stairway .

However the central feature of the park is the ancient Minneriya Tank (built in 3 rd century AD by King Mahasena). During the dry season (June to September), this tank is an incredible place to observe the elephants who come to bathe and graze, as well as the huge flocks of birds (cormorants and painted storks to name but a few) that come to fish in the shallow waters. On completion return to the hotel for dinner and overnight stay.

Accommodation: Cinnamon Lodge Habarana

Breakfast at the hotel and leave for Kandy. Check in at Cinnamon Citadel 4*. Afternoon proceed on a sightseeing tour of Kandy, the last capital stronghold of the Singhalese Kings.

Kandy is located on a small lake surrounded by verdant hills and you spend the afternoon in and around the town. The most must visit attraction is the Temple of the Tooth, which houses Sri Lanka’s most important Buddhist relic. The Tooth of Buddha was taken from the funeral pyre in 543 BC and only found its way to Sri Lanka in the 4th century AD. Rich in history and traditions the Temple of the Tooth attracts devotees and pilgrims worldwide who visit the temple each day and is also the focal point during the magnificent Procession or Perahera during the month of August. Some of our trips in August should coincide with the Kandy festival, but the exact dates, decided by priests, are not known until 5 months prior to the event.

Kandy’s other attractions are its traditional arts and crafts, the folk dances as well as its busy and colorful streets shops and eateries. An iconic colonial monument, the Queens Hotel sitting close to the lake of Kandy, still retains its old colonial charm. A Tuk Tuk Ride Will Be Included as a part of the Sightseeing Tour of Kandy.

Dambulla is a World Heritage site and is the most impressive of Sri Lanka’s cave temples. The complex of five caves with over 2000 sq. meters of painted walls and the ceiling is the largest area of paintings found in the world. These caves contain over 150 images of the Buddha of which the largest is the colossal figure of the Buddha carved out of rock spanning 14 meters.

Kandy Perahera – Held annually in August for 01 week the Kandy perahera is perhaps the most important and the most colorful of all pageants held in the island. Kandy’s 4 devalas – natha, Vishnu, skanda and pathini lead the procession each followed by a train of colorfully caparisoned elephants. The golden karanduwa – a replica of the dagoba shaped casket in which the sacred tooth is enshrined is carried by the magnificent tusked temple elephant adorned with colorful drapes, lined with tiny electric bulbs.

Breakfast at the hotel and leave for Gal Oya. Check in at the Gal Oya Lodge “Eco Concept” for two nights. Rest of the day relax by the pool with breathtaking view of the surrounding rocky mountains.

The Gal Oya National Park – History and Geography
Gal Oya national park Sri Lanka located in the Uva Province which is situated in the south-east of Sri Lanka; the Gal Oya National Park was established in 1954 by the Gal Oya Development Board, primarily to protect the catchment area of the vast ‘Senanayake Samudra’ Reservoir which is the largest reservoir in Sri Lanka. It was subsequently handed over to the Department of Wildlife Conservation in 1965.

The Gal Oya National Park is rich in both fauna and flora and about 45 percent of the Park is covered by evergreen forest while a further 33 percent is taken up by savanna areas. The Park spans over 25,000 hectares in total and has three mountains within its boundaries vis-à-vis Danigala, Nilgala and Ulpotha with the highest peak reaching 900 metres.

The Buddhangala Sanctuary, one of the four protected areas which make up the Gal Oya National Park, has ruins of a Stupa and other buildings dating back to the 2nd Century BC. It is believed that Lord Buddha visited here during his last time in Sri Lanka. In the hilly country to the West of the Park was one of the last strongholds of Sri Lanka’s indigenous tribes, the Vedda.The Vedda are the forest-dwelling, indigenous people of central Sri Lanka. They have inhabited the island for hundreds of years, living off the land and being at one with nature.

Despite this, Gal Oya is also one of the least visited national parks as it is remote and largely undeveloped for tourism, making it a hidden gem for nature lovers.

Accommodation: Gal Oya Lodge
Meals: Breakfast, Dinner

Early Morning take a boat safari on Sri Lanka’s largest lake and discover wildlife from a whole new perspective. We may be lucky enough to see the elephants swimming between islands or bathing at the lake’s edge. Birdlife is exceptional on the lake, and migratory birds swell their ranks during the months of December to April. On completion return to the hotel. Have breakfast at the hotel and relax until the afternoon.

Late afternoon proceed on a Jeep Safari to explore the magnificent habitats and wildlife at the Gal Oya National Park. Wild elephants herds that can be seen here throughout the year, so keep your eyes open. Crocodiles can also be spotted lazing along the banks and more. On completion return to the hotel.

Accommodation: Gal Oya Lodge
Meals: Breakfast, Dinner

After our leisurely breakfast, driving southwards we head towards Yala National Park but en route will make various stops to break the journey. We should finally reach Yala in the afternoon for lunch and check-in at the splendid hotel Jetwing Yala 4* where we stay for two nights. The afternoon will be free for relaxation at the hotel and to enjoy the hotel pool, the private beach and the surrounding.

Optional: If you’re not tired you can head out in 4WD jeeps for afternoon game drive. Yala is Sri Lanka’s most well known national park, famous for having a higher concentration of leopard per square kilometre than anywhere else in the world. Located in Sri Lanka’s lowland dry zone in the south eastern corner of the country, Yala National Park is extensive, covering some 97,881 hectares across five ‘blocks’. Yala’s vegetation primarily consists of dense secondary forest, semi-arid thorny scrub, brackish lagoons and mangroves since the park borders the coastline. With this diverse habitat comes a huge array of wildlife, including elephant, Sloth bear, Spotted deer, Water buffalo, Sambar deer, Wild boar, langur and macaque. Bird counts are also high, with over 215 species recorded, including thousands of migrating waterfowl. Our group will be split evenly between jeeps and will be joined by the tour leader, naturalist and tracker who will each sit in a different vehicle. The drive this afternoon will last around 3 – 4 hours, before we return to the hotel to freshen up and have dinner.

Accommodation: Jetwing Yala
Meal: Breakfast, Dinner

Today full day game drive is enjoyed inside the Yala National Park and we will be taking our picnic meals with us. An early start will be necessary to enter the National Park in jeeps for a morning of bird and mammal watching.

Early morning is the best time to come across a Sloth Bear or Leopard but it is also the time of peak bird activity and there will be much to see in this wonderful reserve. A network of tracks criss-cross the accessible areas of the National Park embracing open country, where herds of Spotted Deer and Sambar graze, riverine forest, secluded lakes and coastal mudflats. It is not permitted to walk inside the park except at designated areas but despite this restriction we should see many wildlife including many bird species during the morning. Peacocks are common and in the first few hours after dawn Sri Lanka Junglefowl emerge from cover to display and call. Raptors include Changeable Hawk-Eagle, White-bellied Sea-Eagle, and Grey-headed Fish-Eagle.

The Yala Leopards, like big cats everywhere, are unpredictable in their appearances but tales of obliging animals are frequent. Whether it is particular individuals becoming accustomed to human visitors, or a consequence of recent droughts, there is no doubt that diurnal sightings of Leopards in Yala have become much commoner in recent years and we will hope that good fortune is on our side as we tour the Park.

Sometimes the cats may be observed padding along the road, or disappearing into cover but the best views are obtained when one is discovered in a tree and such individuals may spend hours dozing on a convenient branch to the delight of the tourists.

Wild Boar are in general much more conspicuous than their predators and both Ruddy and Grey Mongooses occur, the former distinguished by a black tail tip. The larger Stripe-necked or ‘Badger’ Mongoose is also a Yala resident. Elephants are widespread inside Yala but surprisingly elusive and hard to see amid woodland. If you are lucky you may chance upon a family group bathing in one of the pools. To complete a dazzling array of creatures, Land and Water Monitors are numerous and large Mugger Crocodiles inhabit the bigger pools. As with all such excursions, luck will play a big part in what we see during our time in Yala but no visit is ever dull and we are certain to encounter an impressive variety of species.

It is a Park regulation that all vehicles should exit by nightfall so we are obliged to leave before the emergence of the many nocturnal inhabitants of Yala.

Back to the hotel for dinner & overnight.

Accommodation: Jetwing Yala
Meals: Breakfast, Dinner

Wildlife tends to be at its most active during the early morning and to take advantage of this we have a morning game drive in Yala National Park. Leopards and Sloth bears will be high priority but we will also be seeking any of the inhabitants not seen during the previous visits. Our naturalist guide will also focus on Yala’s diverse birds, with our game drive lasting around 3 hours. After completion return to our hotel for a rest and lunch afterwards.
