Is this trip for you?

We designed this trip for a family with kids starting from about 4 or 5 years old upwards. They need to be able to climb Sigiriya Rock at least which is 1000 steps. Sounds a lot – but its perfectly doable! This journey includes some of the most kid friendly hotels in Sri Lanka.

Unique Experiences

Itinerary

Elephants and Kandy is a week-long trip north through the centre of the island. You will stay in comfortable high to middle end hotels. In the Cultural Triangle, enjoy two fun-filled days of adventure with your family: spotting wild elephants in national parks, glimpsing macaque monkeys climbing among the rocks and trees, visiting ancient cave temples, large lakes, and going horse riding. Then spend a few days in Kandy, where you can ride in an old train, visit a tea plantation, take a boat trip on the lake, visit the wonderful Peradeniya Botanical Gardens and the famous elephant orphanage.

Accommodation

In terms of accommodation, we have chosen Ulagalla Resort and Ellerton Bungalow, which offer variation and a chance to experience different ways of Sri Lankan living. Ulagalla is spacious, set amidst paddy fields and lakes. It has a glorious pool and some of the amenities include archery, horse riding and kayaking – all winners with children. Ellerton is a beautiful bungalow on the outskirts of Kandy with 6 bedrooms, which is cosy and the perfect place to enjoy the cool mountain air and access the various things to do around Kandy.
