About this Sri Lanka and Maldives trip

Kandy is where the trip starts properly. It was the last capital of Sri Lanka's kings, the Mahaweli, the country's longest river, curls around it, and the Sacred City of Kandy is one of Sri Lanka's eight UNESCO World Heritage Sites. From there the road climbs to Nuwara Eliya, a hill town at about 1,868 metres that the British shaped into an English village, which is why it is still called Little England. Afternoons feel like spring for most of the year but nights drop to around 10°C, so pack a jacket. Colombo, the largest city and commercial capital, fills Day 4 before you fly out.

The Maldives half is where this package parts ways with cheaper combos. Instead of an unnamed "resort or similar" on breakfast only, you stay two nights at Club Med Kani on Kanifinolhu island in North Malé Atoll, about 25 to 30 minutes from Malé airport by speedboat. Meals are buffets with Indian dishes every day. Drinks at the bar are included too, apart from premium spirits, bottled wine and champagne. The resort's land and water sports are included as well, with lessons and equipment. Ask the resort about a barbecue dinner on the beach, and try mas huni at breakfast at least once. It is tuna, onion, coconut and chilli, eaten cold with roshi flatbread.

Mumbai travellers often ask about the Ramayana sites, and this route passes two of them. Day 3 can include Seetha Amman Temple at Seetha Eliya, linked to the Ashok Vatika of the Ramayana, and Hakgala Botanical Garden a short drive further on. If the Ramayana trail matters more to you than the beach, our Ramayana tour packages in Sri Lanka cover more of those sites. And if you would rather spend the whole week in Sri Lanka, compare our Sri Lanka tour packages from Mumbai.

Flights from Mumbai: how this trip works

Flights are not part of the land price, and the trip is open-jaw. You fly into Colombo and home from Malé, with one short hop between the two. Three nonstop sectors cover it.

Take a Mumbai departure that lands in Colombo by late morning. Bandaranaike International Airport is at Katunayake, about 35 km north of Colombo, and the drive to Kandy by way of Pinnawala takes three and a half to four and a half hours, so an early landing gets you to the orphanage while the elephants are still at the river. Land late and the elephant orphanage moves to another day.

Sri Lanka keeps the same clock as Mumbai. The Maldives is 30 minutes behind, so set your phone back when you land in Malé.

Our agents can quote all three flights with the package. Share your dates when you ask for a quote. Not every airline flies Malé to Mumbai nonstop every day, and the day you leave the island decides which flight you can take. For every other way to get there, including one-stop options, read our guide on how to reach Sri Lanka from Mumbai.

Day-by-day itinerary: 7 days, 6 nights

Day 1: Colombo airport to Kandy, by way of Pinnawala

Our representative meets you at Colombo airport and drives you to Kandy by way of the Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage. Volunteers and caretakers at Pinnawala shelter orphaned, abandoned and injured elephants. You can watch the keepers bottle-feed the young ones, then see the herd led across the road to the Maha Oya river, where the elephants bathe and play in the water while you watch from the riverbank viewing area.

You reach Kandy in the early evening, in time for a traditional Kandyan dance show. The rest of the city waits for tomorrow morning. Entrance fees to sites are not included. Overnight in Kandy.

Day 2: Kandy city tour, then up to Nuwara Eliya

Start early, straight after breakfast, to tour Kandy. You visit the Temple of the Tooth Relic, known to Sri Lankans as Sri Dalada Maligawa, a World Heritage site and a sacred place for Buddhists everywhere. Next comes the Peradeniya Royal Botanical Gardens, 147 acres with more than 300 varieties of orchids alongside spice plants, medicinal plants and palms. A stop at the Gem Museum shows why Sri Lankan sapphires are prized, in shades of blue, pink, yellow and white. Entrance fees to sites are not included. You leave Kandy in the early afternoon, around 1:30 to 2 pm, for Nuwara Eliya, about 80 km and three to three and a half hours away with stops, so you arrive in the early evening. The road climbs past Ramboda Falls and through tea estates such as Labookellie, where you can stop for a cup of tea above the slopes.

Nuwara Eliya sits among hills, valleys and tea plantations and keeps spring-like weather for most of the year. It was the favourite hill station of the British, who tried to turn it into a typical English village. The old brick post office, the country-house Hill Club with its hunting pictures, trophies and formal dinner dress code, the 18-hole golf course and the racecourse all still look like England. The evening is yours to walk the town. Overnight in Nuwara Eliya.

Day 3: Nuwara Eliya city tour, tea factory and Ramayana stops

The city tour covers the main sights of the town: the golf course, the trout streams, Victoria Park, and boating or fishing on Lake Gregory. You also visit a working tea factory, where the slow-growing bushes of this highland region produce some of the world's finest Orange Pekoe tea, and you see the leaf withered, rolled and dried on the factory floor.

You can add Seetha Amman Temple at Seetha Eliya, which tradition links to the Ashok Vatika of the Ramayana, where Sita was held. A few minutes further is Hakgala Botanical Garden, a cool hill-country garden of roses, ferns and lily ponds. Overnight in Nuwara Eliya.

Day 4: Nuwara Eliya to Colombo, city sightseeing

After breakfast you drive down to Colombo, about 170 km and five to six hours. Colombo is the largest city and commercial capital of Sri Lanka, a busy west-coast city where colonial and modern buildings stand side by side. Portuguese, Dutch and British buildings sit next to Buddhist, Hindu, Islamic and contemporary ones.

You reach Colombo by mid-afternoon, so the city tour keeps to a short loop: a drive through the Fort district past the Old Parliament Building and the Twin World Trade Center towers, a stop at Gangaramaya Temple, and sunset on Galle Face Green. Fit in one shopping stop on the way, either Odel or the Pettah market streets. Entrance fees to sites are not included. Overnight in Colombo.

Day 5: Colombo to the Maldives, check in at Club Med Kani

After breakfast you check out and drive about 45 minutes to Bandaranaike International Airport for the SriLankan Airlines flight to Malé, roughly an hour and a half in the air. A Club Med representative meets you at Velana International Airport and walks you to the jetty, and the speedboat reaches Kanifinolhu in about 25 to 30 minutes.

You check in to a Beach Deluxe room with a terrace, with a non-alcoholic welcome drink on arrival. Spend the afternoon in the lagoon in front of your room, then walk to the main beach for sunset. Your all-inclusive stay starts with dinner tonight at the buffet restaurant, which serves Indian dishes every day. The evening entertainment show follows. Overnight at Club Med Kani.

Day 6: A full day at Club Med Kani

This is your one full day on the island, and most of it is already paid for. The resort's water sports come with equipment and lessons, so you can snorkel the house reef, take out a kayak or a paddleboard, or join a class at the sports centre without signing a bill.

Scuba diving, the spa, sunset dolphin cruises and island-hopping trips cost extra. Book them at the activities desk on Day 5, because the popular slots fill up. Pack reef-safe sunscreen from home, as resort shops charge more. Lunch, dinner and drinks at the bar are included, so the only thing to plan is where to watch the sunset. Overnight at Club Med Kani.

Day 7: Speedboat to Malé, flight home to Mumbai

Have breakfast and check out. If your flight leaves in the afternoon, lunch at the resort is still included, as the all-inclusive stay ends with lunch on the last day. The speedboat takes you back to Velana International Airport in about 25 to 30 minutes. Reach the airport at least three hours before an international departure. The nonstop flight to Mumbai takes about 2 hours 50 minutes, and the duty-free shop at Malé is the last chance to spend your US dollars.

Hotels

Our agents will provide these or similar hotels depending on availability. Ask your agent to confirm the final hotel names in writing before you pay the balance.

Inclusions and exclusions

Why this package costs more than a budget combo

Sri Lanka and Maldives combos are advertised from around Rs 50,000, so the price of this one needs explaining. Most of the gap is the Maldives half, where food and drink are sold at resort prices.

Two days of lunches, dinners and drinks at a Maldivian resort can add up fast on a breakfast-only plan. Here they are already paid for, and the price you are quoted is close to what you will spend.

The Maldives also charges a Green Tax of US$12 per person per night at resorts, in force since 1 January 2025. Ask your agent whether it is already inside the Club Med Kani rate or payable at check-out.

Visa for Indians: Sri Lanka and the Maldives

Indian passport holders currently pay nothing for either visa, but each country has one step to finish before you fly.

Your passport needs at least six months' validity on arrival in Sri Lanka, which also covers the Maldives rule. Apply for the ETA only on the official eta.gov.lk portal, as copycat sites charge a fee. Our guide to the Sri Lanka visa for Indians walks through the form step by step.

Best time to visit Sri Lanka and the Maldives together

December to April is when both halves of this trip are at their best. The hill country and Colombo are dry, and the Maldives is in its dry northeast-monsoon season with calm, clear water.

Payment and booking

You book with the verified agent whose quote you accept, and their written terms come with that quote. Read them before you pay the booking amount.

To confirm the trip you pay a booking amount, and the balance is due before travel. You can pay in instalments where your agent offers them.
