Complete package overview
A balanced 16-day complete Sri Lanka holiday designed for tea, train and mountain-scenery travellers, including selected hotels, daily breakfast, private chauffeur transport and the listed experiences across Colombo • Kandy • Nuwara Eliya • Haputale / Beragala • Ella • Galle. The route includes accommodation, private chauffeur travel and a planned sightseeing programme. Entrance tickets and variable supplier activity fees are added only when specifically stated or requested in the final quotation. We can adjust nights, hotel category, meal plan, room type and activity level before confirmation.
Choose your hotel level
Each level remains a complete package. Only the accommodation standard, vehicle level, meal plan and experience detail change.
Scenic train planning: Reserved train seats are subject to Sri Lanka Railways release and availability. The official online reservation system currently allows advance booking up to 30 days before travel and a maximum of 5 seats per reservation. A seat is guaranteed only after successful railway payment/confirmation. If the requested reserved sector is unavailable or train operations change, the private Trustker chauffeur continues the route and we offer the best available alternative rail sector where practical.
The private chauffeur remains part of the journey, carries luggage and provides the road alternative if the requested rail sector cannot be confirmed or train operations change.
How this rail journey works: This is a private chauffeur journey with selected scenic rail sectors, not a 16-day train-only trip. The chauffeur carries luggage and meets guests after rail sectors, protecting the itinerary if reserved seats or train operations change.
