Sri Lanka Road Trip

Sri Lanka at your own wheel — a mapped self-drive through Colombo · Kandy · Bentota.

🗓️ 6N / 7D4.9 (720)🏨 3★ / 4★ en route🌤️ Best: Nov – Apr

Starting from

₹36,999 / person

Overview

The best of Sri Lanka is usually between the towns, and this 6-night self-drive is built to find it. You get the car, a mapped scenic route through Colombo · Kandy · Bentota, and every night booked ahead — so Sigiriya Rock Fortress and Temple of the Tooth, Kandy happen on your schedule, with the detours left deliberately open.

Nov – Apr is the sweet spot for Sri Lanka (South Asia), and we plan departures from Surat around it — flights via Mumbai or Ahmedabad, 3★ / 4★ en route hotels locked in writing, and this itinerary from ₹36,999 per person on twin sharing.

Explera's Surat desk runs the whole journey end to end — flights, stays, transfers, guided sightseeing, Sri Lanka visa assistance and insurance — with a written day-by-day plan before you pay and a human on call 24/7 while you travel. Every departure is fully customisable to your dates, budget and travellers.

Explera planned our Colombo holiday end to end — flights, 3★ / 4★ en route, sightseeing and visa where needed, all on one bill. Every day ran exactly to plan. Best travel agent in Surat, honestly.

★★★★★
Our trip with friends to Colombo was better than the photos. The team suggested the perfect hotels and the 7-day route was neither rushed nor lazy. Priced fairly with no surprises at the end.
