21-Day Sri Lanka Private Driver Tour

Three weeks gives you something shorter Sri Lanka itineraries cannot: time.

More Time, Less Rushing

The biggest benefit of a three-week Sri Lanka itinerary is not simply visiting more places.

It is having enough time to:

  • Stay more than one night in key destinations
  • Include rest days
  • Reduce constant hotel changes
  • Explore the Cultural Triangle in more depth
  • Spend proper time in Kandy and Ella
  • Include wildlife without forcing it into another transfer day
  • Enjoy several nights on the coast
  • Finish the journey gradually through Galle and the south-west coast

Your 21-Day Route Can Change with Your Travel Dates

Sri Lanka's weather patterns vary across different parts of the island.

For some travel periods, the south and south-west coast may fit your journey well.

At other times of year, you may prefer to use part of the three-week itinerary for the east coast or northern Sri Lanka.

Your final route can therefore be adjusted according to:

  • Travel month
  • Beach preference
  • Wildlife interests
  • Cultural interests
  • Available time
  • Hotel choices

Your Three Weeks Do Not Need to Follow One Fixed Route

You can:

  • Add Jaffna
  • Add Trincomalee or the east coast
  • Remove Anuradhapura
  • Spend longer in the Cultural Triangle
  • Add another wildlife region
  • Spend more nights in Ella
  • Add more beach time
  • Choose a different south-coast base
  • Remove the safari
  • Use your own hotels
  • Add private day tours
  • Request a chauffeur guide
  • Change the vehicle
  • Finish the private-driver service before a long beach stay

Our Best Private Car Daily Rate

The same duration-based pricing principle applies to the other standard vehicle categories.

Peak-Season Travel

For applicable hire days between:

20 December and 10 January

add:

USD 10 per vehicle per applicable day

Private Car Special Price:

USD 1,155

USD 1,365

If only part of the journey falls within the peak period, the supplement applies only to those days.

Price Note

The prices shown above are base private vehicle-and-driver prices.

They are not complete 21-day holiday-package prices.

Your final quotation may depend on:

  • Final itinerary
  • Total mileage
  • Seasonal route
  • Pickup and end locations
  • Peak-season days
  • Vehicle positioning
  • Chauffeur guide requirements
  • Safari arrangements
  • Additional services

Jaffna & the North

With three weeks available, northern Sri Lanka can be considered as an alternative or extension to part of the route.

Adding Jaffna significantly changes the driving pattern, so it should be built into the itinerary from the start rather than added as a last-minute day trip.

Trincomalee, Nilaveli or Other East-Coast Areas

Depending on your travel season, the east coast may be a better fit than spending all your beach time on the south-west coast.

A three-week tour gives you enough time to consider an east-coast route without rushing.

Tell us your travel month when enquiring so the route can be discussed.

Do Not Keep the Driver When You Do Not Need Transport

If your 21-day holiday includes several consecutive relaxation days at one beach resort, you do not necessarily need to retain the vehicle and driver throughout those days.

We can quote:

Touring section + later private transfer

instead.
