Introduction
Sri Lanka is a beautiful land full of treasures for the eyes. More often it’s referred to as “Paradise Island”. As soon as you touch the core of this land, it reveals its tales of legends, myths and mysteries. From ancient world heritage sites of Sigiriya to a vibrant and welcoming contemporary culture of Kandy; from the colonial city of Galle to the lush green rolling hills of tea country of Nuwara Eliya, from dream beaches to the National parks famous for shy Leopards and wild elephants, from saffron-clad monks around monasteries and temples to stilt fishermen at the coast of Indian ocean; this is a destination that truly has it all, and most importantly people here are friendly with a welcoming heart.
Join the famous travel duo Harsh and Arti on Sri Lanka tour packages to experience the astonishing diversity of the Island. The travel duo Harsh and Arti discovered Sri Lanka during one of their scouting trips. Their passion for travel and photography lead this tour with a unique itinerary. They will take you to the iconic places of Sri Lanka in their Sri Lanka Tour Packages, the more remote ones, and the particular ones rarely visited by tourists. They have handpicked all the destinations, hotels as well as restaurants. They find the Island so compelling that they are planning to retire there (although they are still in their 30s).
Harsh being a photographer and storyteller makes this journey a unique combination of photography and culture. Sri Lanka Tour Packages is all about “Art of seeing”. That’s why anyone having Professional Camera, amateurs, even phone photographers are welcome. This Island is a treat for Selfies as well. This travelling duo with unmatched local support will guide you throughout the tour. They will make sure that there won’t be a single day when this Island won’t surprise you. You will meet people they have befriended over the years, who will share the pride of their culture and heritage.
Why Sri Lanka after COVID 19?
We all have been isolated in our houses for months. Our feet are itching to be back in our travelling shoes. Where next? Why Sri Lanka! Well, Sri Lanka is among those few countries who managed to keep their country least affected by Coronavirus Pandemic. From 1st August they are ready to receive tourist from all around the world in the safest way. Being a tiny country, no other country can define diversity better than Sri Lanka- amazing beach sides, landscapes, culture, heritage and wildlife to sight one of the majestic shy cats. Sri Lanka is neither an overpopulated nor highly dense country. That’s why it’s easy to maintain social distancing while travelling in Sri Lanka. We at Indian Maharaja Tours, want to ensure our guests that while going in Sri Lanka, every possible measure will be taken to protect the group from COVID 19. We will be providing N95 face masks, Hand Sanitizers, sufficient space in the bus to maintain social distancing etc. We also ensure on every alternate day’s coach will be sanitized.
At a Glance
We begin and end this tour in Negombo; a coastal town just 30 minutes drive from Colombo airport. After our first experience with culture and cuisines of authentic Sri Lanka and Negombo fish drying industry, we’ll travel south of Sri Lanka to Galle. We will be staying in 17th-century Galle fort – a UNESCO World Heritage Site, a well-preserved town with colonial-era buildings. We will photograph stilt fishermen at Koggala beach at sunset. We will explore Yala National park, one of the finest reserves of Sri Lanka for leopard sighting with best local guides. Enjoy the drive from Yala to Nuwara Eliya with a stop at Ella to photograph the famous Demodara 9 Arches Bridge.
Experience the nostalgia of tea capital of Sri Lanka, still famous as “Little England”. If you’ve ever wondered what makes black tea different to green tea, or how the tea gets from the plant to your cup, this is the place to find out. Sip a cup of an authentic Ceylon Tea in a tea plantation. Embark on a scenic train ride passing through tea estates and lush green highlands- a sloping emerald-green paradise draped in mist. Entering into a cultural triangle of Sri Lanka, visit the Buddhist temples and ancient ruins of Kandy, Pollonurawa, Dambulla and Anuradhapura. Take an enthralling game safari at Minnerya National Park, known for some of the largest gatherings of Asian elephants in any one area.
Visit Millenium Elephant Foundation, an NGO working for the rescue and welfare of domestic elephants. We will not visit Pinnawala Orphanage due to ethical concerns. Still, we will have a lifetime opportunity to view the elephants bathing in the river and a perfect sundowner from the comfort of our accommodation. We do not support elephant riding. The last day of your tour will be relaxing, or you can further explore Colombo, the capital town of Sri Lanka. Immerse yourself in the mysteries of this breathtaking and incredible country.

Sri Lanka is a magical place, we fell in love with the moment our feet hit its rich soil and one I hope everyone has a chance to experience. I have a love for the land, wildlife, and people; nature’s other elements. This is why we lead both photography and cultural photo tours.

Q: Do you photograph on your Tour?

The areas we are visiting are already well scouted by us. We have spent quality time doing our research. That’s why I don’t need a camera for my personal work. My camera is usually the last up and the first down. When I am looking through my camera, I will be seeing things as a professional photographer. The purpose will be just to check that we are at the right position or need to re-position the vehicle or background is not distracting.
