India and Sri Lanka Heritage Explorer

Mumbai to Colombo – 12 Days

Expedition Overview

Join us on an amazing journey through India and Sri Lanka and get up close to the heart of South Asia’s history and nature. We start in Mumbai, the city of Bollywood, architecture and markets where India’s vibrant culture comes alive. Then we head to the serene backwaters of Kerala to experience the natural beauty and laid back lifestyle of southern India. Kochi’s colonial heritage and multicultural influences give us a glimpse into the region’s diverse history.

In Sri Lanka we start in Colombo where ancient and modern collide. The Cultural Triangle is a treasure trove of archaeological wonders, Sigiriya rock fortress and Dambulla caves are just a few of the many. We end in Galle, the historic city where Dutch colonial architecture and a thriving cultural scene is the perfect finale to our journey through time. This carefully designed tour will give you an immersive experience of India and Sri Lanka’s culture, history and natural beauty and leave you with memories of South Asia’s stunning landscapes and heritage.
