6-Day Sri Lanka Private Driver Tour

Experience some of Sri Lanka’s most popular highlights in six days with your own private vehicle and driver.

This compact route is designed especially for travellers who want a strong first introduction to Sri Lanka, combining Kandy, the central highlands, Nuwara Eliya, Bentota and Colombo without trying to cover the entire island.

More about this journey

Kandy, Tea Country, Bentota & Colombo

It works particularly well for travellers from India and other short-haul markets who have around five nights available and want a mix of culture, scenery, beach time and city sightseeing.

Travel privately, choose your own hotels and adjust the sightseeing around your interests.

A Strong Six-Day Introduction to Sri Lanka

Kandy

Two nights give you a proper cultural stay rather than simply passing through.

Pinnawala

An optional stop between the airport and Kandy.

Peradeniya

Include the Royal Botanical Gardens if this matches your interests.

Tea Country

Travel through Sri Lanka’s central highlands.

Nuwara Eliya

Experience the cooler climate and mountain scenery.

Bentota

Enjoy time on the south-west coast.

Madu Ganga

Add an optional boat experience.

Colombo

Finish with city sightseeing and shopping when flight timing permits.

Designed for a Short Sri Lanka Holiday

Six days is not enough to comfortably cover Sigiriya, Ella, Yala, Galle, Kandy, Nuwara Eliya and Bentota all at once.

This itinerary is deliberately more focused.

It follows a clear progression:

Kandy → Hill Country → Beach → Colombo

That makes it well suited to short holidays, families and travellers who want less long-distance driving.

Make This Itinerary Your Own

You can change the route according to your interests.

Possible adjustments include:

  • Replace Pinnawala
  • Spend more time in Kandy
  • Add a Ramayana-related stop
  • Remove cultural sightseeing
  • Add more tea-country time
  • Spend longer at Bentota
  • Replace Bentota with Ahungalla or Balapitiya
  • Add Galle if your flight timing allows
  • Remove Colombo sightseeing
  • Use your own hotels
  • Request a chauffeur guide
  • Change your vehicle
  • Extend to 7, 8 or 10 days
