Enjoy the North and the Coast of Sri Lanka on Your Sri Lanka Holiday

Sri Lanka is a small island in the Indian Ocean, so it is not short of stunning sandy beaches, and our luxury tour packages cover them. Mirissa is a top ranking beach and one of the most visited in Sri Lanka. If you like to sit back and enjoy the beach under the sun, we recommend visiting in season, December to March. It's the perfect time for sightseeing and beach activities including whale and dolphin watching, which you can add to your Sri Lanka luxury tour itinerary. On a lucky day you'll see many types of whales in the deep sea — fin whales, sperm whales, blue whales, Bryde's whales and orca have all been spotted off Mirissa, along with bottlenose, common, Risso's and striped dolphins.

Morning surf in Mirissa is the best surfing experience you can have on our tours. If you love to surf but haven't had a chance yet, Mirissa is well known for beginner surfers. Around the beach there are many restaurants to taste fresh seafood, Sri Lankan street food and delicious savouries at very low prices, and we will escort you from street cafés to star level restaurants. Apart from the main beach, Mirissa's "Secret Beach" should not be missed — no accommodation, just a restaurant and a bar for a drink, a short walk or motorbike ride from the main beach. Many people miss this beautiful place, but at Lanka Travel Plan we escort you to every hidden inch of Sri Lanka.

In Galle, the beaches may not be the main attraction — the Galle Fort, surrounded by its great stone walls, is the crown jewel of the city. The Dutch fort is a perfect place to explore colonial history in Sri Lanka, and the museum inside tells the story of the Dutch period. With years of experience in Sri Lanka tourism, we explain every bit of the history and the back stories of the fort. Many people, both Sri Lankan and Dutch, still own property inside the fort, with shops selling elegant and rare items — perfect souvenirs of your holiday in Galle.

Jaffna is the northern kingdom of Sri Lanka. We take you around this historic city and its legendary places, like the Jaffna fort built by the Portuguese with the interesting name "Fortress of Our Lady of Miracles of Jafanapatão" — later captured by the Dutch and then taken over by the British, and now a popular destination since the end of the 30-year civil war. We escort you to the Jaffna library, once one of the biggest libraries in Asia: built in 1933, it held over 97,000 books when it was burnt down in 1981. Another important place is the Nallur Kandaswamy temple, the sacred heart of Jaffna and one of the biggest and most popular Hindu temples in Sri Lanka.
