Experience the Beauty of Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka punches far above its weight. This teardrop-shaped island offers an incredible diversity of experiences within a compact area—ancient cities dating back over 2,000 years, national parks teeming with elephants and leopards, hill country draped in tea plantations, and beaches that rival any in the world.
Travel by scenic train through cloud-wrapped mountains. Climb ancient rock fortresses with panoramic views. Watch elephants gather at watering holes. Surf world-class waves or simply unwind on pristine shores.
Despite its small size, Sri Lanka delivers endless variety, and Jacob's intimate knowledge ensures you'll experience the very best.
