Sri Lanka in the Summer
This fantastic trip takes advantage of Sri Lanka’s two weather patterns and is best enjoyed during the UK summer months. While most of Asia is experiencing the wet season in summer, this part of Sri Lanka is enjoying the sunshine, and so can you.
📍 Wilpattu National Park > East Coast Sri Lanka > Cultural Triangle > Negombo
Why we love it
“This trip offers everything from tracking wildlife through remote national parks to learning about ancient Buddhist sites, finishing off with a chill out on white sandy beaches. You’ll begin your trip in the wilds of Wilpattu on the northwest coast. Here, you’ll (fingers crossed) enjoy some leopard sightings before driving into the Cultural Triangle in the North, where ancient sites and temples, and the mind-blowing rock fortress of Sigiriya awaits. Finish your trip by enjoying a cocktail beside the calm seas of the east coast and look out for whales. Summertime bliss.”

Wilpattu National Park
This wild, sprawling national park on the West Coast is the perfect place to escape the crowds and have Sri Lanka's wildlife all to yourself. With less promise of spotting the elusive leopard, it's a great option for wildlife lovers who enjoy the overall wildlife experience. There are several camps to choose from and two nights is usually perfect.
