Is the scenic train ride from Nuwara Eliya to Ella guaranteed?

The train ride is one of the highlights of this tour! However, reserved seats (1st and 2nd Class) are in very high demand and sell out quickly. We recommend booking this package at least 30 days in advance so our team can secure the best seats for you. If reserved seats are unavailable, we will arrange alternative comfortable transport or mixed travel options.

What type of clothing should we pack for this trip?

You will need a mix of clothing. For the beaches and Sigiriya, light cotton clothes, sunglasses, and hats are best. However, Nuwara Eliya (Little England) can get quite cold (10°C - 15°C), so please pack warm sweaters, trousers, and comfortable walking shoes. For the Temple of the Tooth in Kandy, you will need modest clothing that covers your shoulders and knees.

How long are the drives between destinations?

Sri Lanka is a beautiful island with scenic routes. Most transfers take between 3 to 4 hours. We ensure comfortable, air-conditioned vehicles and our drivers are happy to stop for photos, fresh coconuts, or washroom breaks whenever you need.

If you are looking for a truly comprehensive getaway, our Sri Lanka Honeymoon Package 8 Days is the ideal choice for creating memories that will last a lifetime.

Why Choose an 8-Day Itinerary?

Many couples make the mistake of rushing their honeymoon, trying to see too much in too little time. We believe romance requires a slower pace. Unlike shorter tours, our Sri Lanka Honeymoon Package 8 Days gives you the luxury of time. It allows you to linger longer over breakfast in the misty hills, enjoy a full afternoon safari without rushing to the next hotel, and spend quality golden hours watching the sunset on the southern coast. This specific duration hits the “sweet spot”—long enough to immerse yourself in the local beauty, but perfectly paced to ensure you return home feeling refreshed, not exhausted.

A Journey Through Love and Nature

Your journey begins in the Cultural Triangle, where history meets the wild. Imagine climbing the ancient rock fortress of Sigiriya, a UNESCO World Heritage site, hand-in-hand. This isn’t just a climb; it’s a walk through ancient royal gardens that sets the tone for a majestic trip. Following this, you will witness the gentle giants of the island during a wildlife safari, adding a touch of thrill to your romantic escape.

As you ascend into the central highlands, the climate transforms. Nuwara Eliya, known as “Little England,” offers a cool, cozy atmosphere perfect for honeymooners. Here, you will stroll through blooming botanical gardens and pick fresh strawberries. A highlight of this Sri Lanka Honeymoon Package 8 Days is the world-famous train ride to Ella. This journey is often cited as one of the most scenic in the world, taking you through emerald tea estates, cloud forests, and over the iconic Nine Arch Bridge.

Sun, Sand, and Serenity

No honeymoon in Sri Lanka is complete without the beach. After the cool hills, you will descend to the sun-drenched Southern Coast. Whether it’s walking the ramparts of the historic Galle Fort or enjoying a river safari in the mangroves of Bentota, the coastal leg of your trip offers pure relaxation. We have selected beach resorts that prioritize privacy, ensuring your final days are spent in absolute bliss.

Tailored for You by Pearl Trips Lanka

We understand that every couple is unique. That is why this Sri Lanka Honeymoon Package 8 Days is fully customizable. Do you want to swap a city tour for a couple’s spa treatment?
