Save

Galle is a coastal city in Sri Lanka's Southern Province, best known as the home of a UNESCO-listed fort that dominates its seafront. Colombo is the capital and largest city of Sri Lanka, a sprawling port metropolis on the Indian Ocean coast that serves as the country's commercial and cultural heart. Trincomalee is a significant port city on Sri Lanka's eastern coast, distinguished by its deep natural harbour and layered history.

Why it works

Rather than one city, this threads Galle, Colombo and Trincomalee into a single trip, so you see more of Sri Lanka in one go. Spend longest wherever suits you.
