I need to coordinate a flight and another tour in another country. Can you confirm the start dates for september (15th and 25th), and the exact time of day we need to meet on the first day at Colombo airport to then leave? I need to check the flight wil arrive in time. Also, is there an option to climb Sigiriya Rock Fortress either instead of the villiage safari?

Yes, we can arrange the tour with a 15 September or 25 September 2026 start date, subject to availability. For the airport arrival, we will coordinate your arrival time and arrange your airport pickup at Bandaranaike International Airport (Colombo Airport). Once you share your flight details, we can confirm the exact meeting time and ensure everything is arranged according to your arrival. Regarding Sigiriya Rock Fortress, yes, we can arrange a visit and climb to Sigiriya Rock Fortress instead of the village safari, if you prefer. We will be happy to adjust the itinerary accordingly.

Does the itinerary include a visit and climb to Sigiriya Rock Fortress (Lion Rock), or does it only include Pidurangala Rock?

If Sigiriya Rock Fortress is not included, is it available as an optional activity? If so, what is the additional cost?

I'd like to know how high the expresses will be for entrance, wildlife safari and anything else you mention on other services.

We had a very enjoyable and memorable tour of Sri Lanka with Stelaran Holidays. The itinerary was varied and gave us the opportunity to experience many different sides of the country, including cultural sites, the hill country, tea plantations, scenic train travel, Yala National Park, beaches, Galle and the southern coast. A very special thanks goes to our chauffeur driver, Mr. Sameer. He did an excellent job throughout the whole journey. He was always helpful, patient, friendly, punctual and flexible, and he took very good care of us from one destination to the next. He was much more than just a driver; he became a very good companion during the trip and made us feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the journey. His attitude and professionalism were one of the main reasons we enjoyed the tour so much. I would also like to sincerely thank Mr. Ranjith from Stelaran Holidays for his personal attention, communication and support before and during the tour. He welcomed us personally on arrival and remained available whenever assistance was needed. Overall, we were very satisfied with the experience and with the service provided by Stelaran Holidays. The kindness and professionalism of Sameer and Ranjith would encourage me to visit Sri Lanka again and to recommend this company to friends who are planning a trip to Sri Lanka. Thank you to the whole Stelaran Holidays team for making our journey smooth, enjoyable and memorable.Show more

  Sigiriya Rock Fortress (Lion Rock) is included in the itinerary. You will have the opportunity to visit and climb this UNESCO World Heritage Site. Pidurangala Rock is included in this tour. Since Sigiriya Rock Fortress is already included, there is no additional charge for this activity other than any inclusions and exclusions stated in the tour details.

  The Yala National Park Safari is a half-day jeep safari. The quoted tour price includes: National Park entrance fee, Private safari jeep, Transportation to and from the park, Driver/guide assistance during the safari
- Stelaran Holidays (Pvt) LtdOperator•Written July 2026
  The scenic train journey between Nanu Oya and Ella is included in the itinerary. We always do our best to secure train tickets in advance. However, as train tickets are issued by Sri Lanka Railways and are subject to availability, we cannot guarantee availability. If train tickets are available, we will arrange comfortable private road transportation at no additional cost to ensure you continue your journey smoothly.
