Experience 7 Days Negombo to Yala National Park Tour Package

Camelot Beach Hotel 3

Welcome to Sri Lanka! You are free to arrive today at your leisure. Negombo is situated by the shores of a lagoon by the same name. Once a Portuguese and Dutch trading port, popular attractions here include the Old Dutch fort gate built in 1672, the Dutch Canal, and the old churches and fishing villages which surround the area. In fact, due to the many ornate Roman Catholic churches scattered throughout, Negombo is sometimes known as The Little Rome. It also has a huge and rather inviting white sandy beach.

After breakfast, we head inland away from the coast towards Nuwara Eliya, located in the heart of Sri Lankan hill country where the higher altitudes and cooler climate offers the perfect environment to grow the world-renowned Sri Lanka tea. Also today we may meet some new faces as we combine with other Tucan Travel customers arriving from the North of the island.
