Complete package overview
A balanced 24-day complete Sri Lanka holiday designed for long-stay travellers wanting a complete island journey, including selected hotels, daily breakfast, private chauffeur transport and the listed experiences across Negombo • Kalpitiya • Mannar • Jaffna • Trincomalee / Nilaveli • Pasikuda • Arugam Bay / Pottuvil • Tangalle / Rekawa • Galle • Bentota / Beruwala. 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.
Grand Tour pacing: Grand Tours are built as regional chapters rather than a chain of daily hotel changes. Most important regions use two- or three-night bases, and rest/laundry/free time can be protected within the private itinerary.
Season-smart route: A long Sri Lanka journey can cross more than one weather zone. Sri Lanka Tourism currently identifies May–September as wetter on the southwest coast/hills and favourable for the eastern dry zone, while the southwest coast generally has calmer seas from November to March. Trustker can therefore change the coast order or substitute east versus south/west beach nights for the actual month, with the final hotel price rechecked for that season.
Activities & tickets: Entrance tickets, safari jeeps/park fees, boats, marine activities, island ferries, scenic train tickets and specialist guides are separately confirmed unless the final quotation explicitly includes them. A Grand Tour price should never imply every optional activity on a 2–4 week journey is bundled.
Jaffna hotel basis: For the September 2026 public basis, Jaffna uses North Gate Hotel, Jaffna Heritage Hotel and Fox Jaffna. The currently loaded Jetwing Jaffna Trustker contract begins in November, so it is a later-season exact-quote upgrade rather than a September price-basis hotel.
Arugam Bay hotel basis: The September Arugam Bay price basis uses The Spice Trail. Jetwing Kottukal Beach House is a later-season exact-quote upgrade because the currently loaded Trustker contract begins in November.
Coast-to-coast season: A true coast-to-coast itinerary crosses different monsoon zones. In September the east coast is the stronger beach/surf section; south/west beach activities are treated as condition-dependent. For other months Trustker can reverse emphasis or replace beach nights after checking the appropriate coast and current hotel rates.

What the displayed “from” price means
The displayed rates are hotel-and-private-chauffeur package guides built from real Trustker hotel-rate data, not transport-only prices. They are based on two adults sharing one double or twin room, the featured hotel level and private chauffeur transport. Variable entrance tickets and activity supplier fees are separate unless specifically stated as included.
Price basis reviewed 2026-09-01 • Sep 2026 reviewed coast-to-coast Grand Tour HRE basis. Final pricing is rechecked against your travel dates, room configuration, child ages, hotel availability, meal plan, entrance fees, safari or boat suppliers and required vehicle size.

- Train seats, safari access, marine activities and specialist guides remain subject to availability and local conditions.
