Meet your group leader in the lobby and transfer to the airport for a flight to Kathmandu.

Home to eight of the world’s 10 tallest peaks, the tiny kingdom of Nepal is ringed by the Himalayas. It is a land of contrasts, harboring a wealth of Buddhist and Hindu art and architecture. Nepal’s colorful capital city Kathmandu reflects 2,000 years of peaceful co-existence and exudes a unique blend of Hinduism and Buddhism, which is distinctly Nepalese in character.

On arrival In Kathmandu, you will be assisted with visa issuance and baggage collection.

NOTE: Please have on hand at least 1 passport sized photo for the Nepal Visa - Your tour manager will collect this from you in flight.

Nepal has eight World Heritage sites and has won two Heritage Awards, one for the city of Bhaktapur and the other for the Dwarika’s Hotel, where you will spend the evening.

Described as a “living, breathing museum, displaying Nepal’s best craftsmanship from the 13th century,” the hotel rooms and public areas at Dwarika’s Hotel reflect medieval architectural traditions. Every brick is handmade, every piece of wood original and centuries old.

After some time to freshen up at the hotel, drive to the outskirts of the city to the World Heritage city of Bhadgaon, also known as Bhaktapur.

Founded in the 9th century, Bhaktapur, also known as the City of Devotees, is revered for its medieval art and architecture. As you meander around Durbar Square, you will see the 55 Window Palace and Nyatapola temple, considered to be the finest example of Pagoda-style architecture.

Following your visit, return to Kathmandu and the Dwarika’s for a late lunch and check-in.

In the early evening, visit the great Stupa at Boudhnath, one of the largest of its kind in the world. Constructed in the 14th century, the stupa is built on an octagonal base, inset with prayer wheels. Boudhnath is also a center of the Tibetan community in Nepal, where you will visit a monastery.

Enjoy a cup of coffee or a cocktail at one of the cafes around Boudhanath then proceed to visit Pashupatinath Temple, a World Heritage site situated near Dwarika’s. Pashupatinath is one of the holiest Hindu temples and a major pilgrimage place dedicated to the god Shiva. Situated amidst a natural setting on the bank of the sacred Bagmati river, the temple built in pagoda style has a gilded roof and richly carved silver doors. Visitors may view from the east bank, as only Hindus are permitted to enter.

Return to the Dwarika’s for dinner and overnight.

Day 3

Early in the morning, you will transfer to the airport for a flight-seeing excursion (weather permitting), soaring over glacier-clad, cloud-shrouded peaks and other landscapes around Mount Everest. Afterwards, you will return to the hotel for breakfast.

Following breakfast, you will visit Patan, one of three royal cities in the valley. Commissioned by India’s great emperor Ashoka in the 3rd century, this World Heritage Site within four stupas is known as the City of Fine Arts.

The temples around the main square are impressive as is the Patan Museum, which is housed within a picturesque palace setting. In an international campaign by UNESCO for safeguarding monuments in Kathmandu Valley, the Austrian government joined hands with Nepal to restore and preserve Patan.

Newari architectural style blossomed in the form of temples, palaces, residences and squares between the 12th and 18th centuries, representing a timelessness in Nepalese architecture and its definitive characteristics, often guided by religious and socio-cultural norms.

Next, you will see Patan’s Living Goddess, who typically acknowledges greetings of devotees from the balcony of her temple residence. Known as kumaris, Nepal’s living goddesses live in seclusion and rarely speak in public.

After a private audience with the Goddess, you will stop for lunch at “The Lawn” or similar venue.

Following lunch proceed to Kathmandu’s Durbar Square located in the heart of the city. It is also known as the Hanuman Dhoka Palace Square, after the Hindu monkey god Hanuman, who acts as a protector via a huge stone impression next to the main entrance.

Kathmandu valley has three Durbar Squares, all UNESCO World Heritage Sites. This ancient seat of Nepalese royalty displays spectacular architecture, reflecting the skill of the Newari artists over several centuries. There’s a great variety of temples dedicated to different Hindu gods and goddess, mainly constructed between the 15th and 18th centuries.

Later, there’s time for individual exploration at Asan Bazar, a great local scene, before boarding trishaws for a ride through the narrow lanes of the old city to “Thamel”, Kathmandu’s hip street. Pulsating Thamel has become a world address for international trekkers, mountaineers and curio shoppers looking for a bargain.

To get a flavor of the local scene, enjoy cocktails and dinner at the famous ‘One Tree Sam’s bar’ and then head back to your hotel for the night.

DAY 1 – April 19, 2028

Disembark the ship in Colombo, Sri Lanka and meet your guide.

This unforgettable journey begins with a 1-hour panoramic city tour of Colombo soaking in the vibrant blend of modernity and heritage. Sri Lanka’s vibrant commercial capital, Colombo blends centuries of trading history with contemporary energy. A panoramic tour reveals its rich diversity, from Buddhist and Hindu temples to mosques, churches, colonial façades and modern landmarks, with highlights including Gangaramaya Temple, Pettah Bazaar, the Old Parliament, Independence Square and Viharamahadevi Park. Before leaving Colombo, enjoy lunch at a local restaurant.

After lunch, travel to Thirappane and check-in at the exquisite Uga Ulagalla Resort.

Set amid lush landscapes near Anuradhapura, Uga Ulagalla pairs heritage charm with refined seclusion. Centered around a restored 150-year-old chieftain’s mansion, this boutique retreat features elegant pool villas with sweeping nature views, private decks and secluded plunge pools – an idyllic haven for guests seeking serenity, space and understated Sri Lankan luxury.

This evening, immerse yourself in the heart of Sri Lanka’s countryside during a Kamatha Dinner Experience which elevates traditional dining beneath open skies. Set amidst working paddy fields, this feast revives royal recipes and culinary rituals passed down through generations. Guests are treated to 25 authentic dishes, expertly crafted by local women using ancient clay pots and wood fires in a rustic mud hut or beneath the shade of trees.

Every plate bursts with flavour, featuring organic vegetables, lake-caught fish, free-range meats, and aromatic rice sourced directly from the estate’s lush fields. More than just a meal, Kamatha is a celebration of Sri Lankan heritage and a chance to taste history, blending local wisdom with unforgettable culinary storytelling.

DAY 2 – April 20, 2028

After breakfast, meet your guide and enjoy a full day guided exploration of the sacred ancient city of Anuradhapura.

Nestled in Sri Lanka’s legendary Cultural Triangle, Anuradhapura stands as a mesmerizing tapestry of history and spirituality, inviting travelers to step into a world where ancient traditions still pulse through sacred monuments. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this remarkable city once flourished for over a millennium as both a political powerhouse and spiritual beacon before nature reclaimed its grandeur in 993. Today, Anuradhapura rises anew, offering curious explorers a chance to connect with a civilization whose enduring devotion echoes among the palaces, monasteries, and awe-inspiring ruins.

As Sri Lanka’s original capital, Anuradhapura is a living museum to the country’s Buddhist roots. Here, the scale astounds: gigantic dagobas punctuate the skyline, sprawling monastic compounds once sheltered thousands of monks, and ingenious irrigation systems reveal a city sustained by visionary engineering. Every site tells a story of faith and ingenuity, perfectly preserved for today’s travelers.

With an expert guide at your side, you’ll discover the wonders that textbooks can’t capture. Marvel at the architectural feats of Ruwanwelisaya, Jetavanaramaya, and Abhayagiri—structures that challenged the world’s tallest for centuries and still inspire awe today. At the revered Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi, stand in the shadow of a sacred pipal tree, brought to Sri Lanka in the 3rd century B.C. by Sanghamitta. This living relic is celebrated as the oldest historically documented tree, a testament to the deep spiritual roots that anchor Anuradhapura’s legacy.

After your cultural adventure, unwind back at the luxurious Uga Ulagalla resort, nestled in serene surroundings that promise a restful afternoon and evening and time for quiet reflection, a perfect ending to your journey through Sri Lanka’s spiritual heart. Lunch is on own today and dinner at your leisure is included.

Note: A kind reminder to dress modestly with clothing that covers shoulders and knees, remove hats, caps, and footwear when entering sacred areas, and avoid taking photographs with your back facing stupas or statues, in respect to local customs. For your safety, please refrain from feeding any animals around the site.

Optional (additional cost) activities are available at the resort – please see https://www.ugaresorts.com/ulagalla/experiences/things-to-do for a complete list. These can be booked directly with the hotel.

DAY 3 – April 21, 2028

Rise early this morning for an ascent of the iconic Sigiriya Rock Fortress, the most famous attraction in Sri Lanka. The round-trip climb takes approximately 2-2.5 hours and is optional.

Known for its massive column of rock that reaches nearly 200 meters high, this site dates back to the reign of King Kasyapa (477-495 AD), who chose this site as his new capital. He decorated the walls with frescoes and built an impressive palace right on top of the rock column, accessible only through the mouth of an enormous carved lion.

The city includes moat and wall fortifications, elaborately landscaped gardens, and a monastery along with exquisite frescoes and the remains of the royal palace on the summit.

At the summit, your guide will unfold the captivating history behind this ancient royal citadel as you take in the breathtaking panoramic views.

Continue with an immersive village experience, engaging with local traditions and daily lifestyles, followed by a delicious authentic Sri Lankan village lunch prepared with fresh, home-style flavors. A 15-minute foot massage is included!

In the afternoon, embark on a thrilling half-day safari jeep game drive at Minneriya National Park (or similar) with a skilled naturalist, offering the chance to witness majestic wild elephants and the park’s remarkable biodiversity. The park also hosts leopards, sloth bears, and numerous bird species, making it a popular wildlife sanctuary.

Note: Please note that climbing up to the summit at Sigiriya Rock Fortress requires a good fitness level but is by no means mandatory. There are many series of steps, both rock and metal, narrow and wide, some are spiral and some steep and many are along the side of the structure. Guests with a fear of heights should not climb. The safari park visited will depend on weather - Kaudulla National Park and Eco Park are also located within the same region. Guests are reminded not to feed animals and to maintain a respectable distance for safety and conservation.

At the end of this incredibly adventurous day, return to the resort for dinner at your leisure and overnight.

DAY 4 – April 22, 2028

After breakfast, check out and begin the scenic journey to Kandy. En route, explore the magnificent Dambulla Cave Temple, where a historian will guide you through the intricate cave paintings and ancient narratives that bring this UNESCO World Heritage Site to life.

Arriving in Kandy, enjoy a tasty light lunch at the elegant Kandy Royal Bar before continuing your cultural immersion.

After lunch, visit the revered Temple of the Tooth Relic for an enriching and respectful experience. Your guide will lead you through its sacred chambers, explaining the temple’s deep spiritual significance. This UNESCO World Heritage site houses Buddha's left canine tooth and is considered a premier Buddhist pilgrimage site. The tooth is kept in a golden casket shaped like a stupa, which is never opened, but the casket is displayed during rituals.

Next, engage in a guided city tour led by a knowledgeable local expert who will share the stories, traditions, and hidden gems of the city.

Check in at your hotel and take some time to relax before a cultural show at the hotel, celebrating Sri Lanka’s vibrant traditional arts and dance. Dinner will follow the show.

Note: A kind reminder to dress modestly in clothing that covers shoulders and knees and remove hats, caps, and footwear when entering sacred areas. Photography is allowed only in permitted areas at the Temple. Avoid taking photos inside the inner shrine rooms and never pose with your back facing religious statues or the temple’s sacred spaces.

DAY 5 – April 23, 2028

After enjoying a hearty breakfast, check out and meet your guide. Begin the day with a serene visit to the Peradeniya Botanical Gardens, accompanied by a botanist guide who will share fascinating insights into the diverse plant species, rare orchids, and historic trees that make this garden one of Asia’s finest.

Afterwards, begin the comfortable drive back to Colombo which will take approximately four hours. A boxed lunch including a sandwich or wrap, pastry, salad, cheese, crackers and fruit or similar will be provided to enjoy during the drive.

In the afternoon, join Mark Forbes (a curator, researcher, photographer, wildlife enthusiast and the man behind the brainchild ‘Colombo City Walks’) for an engaging walking tour through the bustling streets of Pettah, Colombo’s vibrant commercial hub to discover hidden gems, colonial architecture, and captivating stories that reveal the city’s rich heritage and charm.

Following this enlightening walking tour, check in at your hotel and enjoy dinner before retiring for the evening.
