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.

Pekoe Trail note: Pekoe Trail walking sections require exact stage, guide and transfer planning. The advertised base package does not imply that every walking stage or guide fee is included.
