I'm a single person looking at touring Sri Lanka in December or January and would be OK with doing it on my own or as part of a larger group. The price I'm looking at now for the Highlights Tour of Sri Lanka on the TourRadar website is $1,905 as part of a sale that lasts until the end of April. Is that the price I would pay or are there additional costs that aren't included? Can you also tell me the approximate costs of the entry fees to places on the tour that aren't included in the price?

Dambulla and Polonnaruwa ancient structures, and Kandy was a peaceful spot. Nuwara Eliya fresh air was a welcome change.
