    Joseph

    Asked on February 7th, 2026

    Is it possible to join only the first 4 days until Nuwara Eliya / Elle? As I'm traveling alone, a privately organized trip or driver doesn't make sense for me.

      Carl

      TravelerWritten November 2025

      We are happy to go in a small group with other people, and likely will make separate bookings for each one of us, as we are a group of friends, hope this is OK. We are keen to include the safari (is this Yala from the northern quieter entrance?) and the whale watching experience, as well as the train to Ella. Will those payments be done in advance as these are outside the package? We will probably opt in most of the cultural and historic sites, but wanted to double check that can be done closer to the date, or onsite, on the day.

    • Sunrise Sri Lanka Travels and ToursOperatorWritten November 2025

      You can do the northern side (Katagamuwa Entrance or Block 5) of Yala instead south (Block 2). There is no additional charge for this. Cost of the tour covers this expense. You can join the group that will be leaving on the 21st March or can do a private tour as you desire.

    Is this a group tour?

    Tour Details
    • Sunrise Sri Lanka Travels and ToursOperatorWritten September 2025

      The 'Highlights Of Sri Lanka' is operating as group and so far we have 4 passengers booked this tour. You will be the 5th passenger. Still we have no passengers booked for the 25th. Hence, you can arrive on the 25th and have a private tour in visiting Wilpattu National Park and Anuradhapura ancient city with Mihintale until you will join the group on the 27th December in Sigiriya.

    • Sunrise Sri Lanka Travels and ToursOperatorWritten September 2025

      Right now we do not have any bookings for the 25th October group and we have a highlight of Sri Lanka group going on the 31st October 2025. If not you can join the 'Discover Sri Lanka' group on the 2nd November. It is 14 Nights and 15 Days. If you do not mind we can organize a private tour for you with the same 'Highlights Of Sri Lanka Trip' without any additional charges.
