The underlying programme is intentionally kept focused rather than adding a distant beach stay to a short seven-day itinerary.

7-Day Heritage & Hill Country Itinerary

Airport → Negombo

Meet your private driver after your arrival and travel to your accommodation in Negombo.

Keep the rest of the day relaxed and flexible around your flight arrival time rather than trying to begin heavy sightseeing immediately.

This first night gives you time to rest before starting the main touring route.

Suggested Overnight: Negombo

Your 7 Days Do Not Have to Look Exactly Like This

This is a suggested private-driver itinerary, not a fixed group-tour programme.

You can ask us to:

  • Add an extra night
  • Remove a sightseeing stop
  • Change an overnight location
  • Travel at a slower pace
  • Use hotels you have already booked
  • Add specific interests
  • Request a chauffeur guide
  • Change your vehicle
  • Extend the journey beyond seven days
  • Finish somewhere other than Colombo where practical

If you have more time, consider extending your private-driver journey to 8, 10, 12, 14 days or longer.

Price Comparison Explanation

Why Is the 7-Day Price Lower?

The published 1–4 day rate represents the regular short-hire rate.

For seven days, the applicable 5–11 day long-tour rate is lower.

Private Car Example

Regular short-hire rate:

USD 70/day × 7 = USD 490

7-day long-tour rate:

USD 60/day × 7 = USD 420

You Save USD 70

This same duration-based pricing logic applies to the other standard vehicle categories.

The tariff assigns 1–4, 5–11 and 12+ day rates separately for each vehicle category.

Peak-Season Travel

For applicable hire days between:

20 December and 10 January

add:

USD 10 per vehicle per applicable day

The supplement is per vehicle, not per passenger.

Example: All 7 Days in Peak Season

Private Car Special Price:

USD 420

Peak-season supplement:

7 × USD 10 = USD 70

Base Vehicle & Driver Total

USD 490

Any other route-specific or separately agreed charges remain subject to the written quotation.

Price Note

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

They are not complete holiday-package prices.

Your final quotation may depend on:

  • Confirmed route
  • Actual mileage
  • Starting and ending locations
  • Applicable peak-season days
  • Vehicle positioning
  • Requested guiding
  • Additional services
