Private Tour
Colombo to Male – 12 Days
Start your journey with the " Sri Lanka and Maldives Heritage Escape," where Sri Lanka’s ancient beauty meets the Maldives’ tranquil shores. In Sri Lanka, explore Sigiriya, Polonnaruwa and Kandy’s Temple of the Tooth. Get up close with elephants and into the world of tea plantations, all while staying in accommodations that capture the essence of Sri Lankan heritage.
Move on to the Maldives for the final leg of your journey. At a 5* beach resort, indulge in spa bliss, snorkel the underwater wonders or simply lounge beachside. This is your sanctuary, a place to unwind in the Maldives’ unparalleled beauty, combining cultural exploration and relaxation in two paradise destinations.
ANCIENT CAPITALS AND SACRED TEMPLES: Explore Sri Lanka’s Cultural Triangle, from Sigiriya’s rock fortress to Dambulla’s cave temples and Kandy’s Temple of the Tooth. A land steeped in history where ancient cities and religious landmarks reflect the island’s spiritual depth and royal grandeur.
TEA COUNTRY TRANQUILLITY: Unwind in Sri Lanka’s Hill Country, staying at a luxury tea estate. Learn about Ceylon tea, stroll through misty plantations, and experience colonial charm with gourmet dining, stunning views and personal service in one of Asia’s most peaceful highland retreats.
GALLE’S COLONIAL ELEGANCE: Wander through Galle Fort’s cobblestone streets, a UNESCO World Heritage Site rich in Portuguese and Dutch history. Visit workshops, museums and coastal architecture before relaxing in luxury at a historic fort hotel. Galle is the perfect blend of heritage and coastal serenity.
LUXURY AND LEISURE IN THE MALDIVES: Go barefoot in the Maldives where turquoise waters and white sands await. Enjoy private beach dinners, world-class snorkelling, spa rituals and catamaran sails. Whether lounging in your beachfront villa or diving into coral gardens, every moment is tropical paradise and indulgence.
The difference with the Asian Geographical is, that each of our holidays is designed with extreme precision of a mountaineering expedition.

This UNESCO site houses a relic of the Buddha. End your day exploring Kandy’s local market and the Royal Botanic Gardens in Peradeniya and a private dance and fire walking show, immersing you in Sri Lanka’s rich culture.
Get lost in the serenity of Sri Lanka’s Hill Country, famous for its tea plantations and landscapes. Your stay at Tea Trails, in charming tea planter’s cottages, gives you a glimpse into the colonial era of tea production. Visit a historic tea factory to see how tea is made from leaf to cup and sample some of Sri Lanka’s high quality teas. The tea fields provide a stunning backdrop for a leisurely hike or a day by the pool, soaking up the quiet of the hills.
Spend another day in the Hill Country’s tranquillity, with the option to go deeper into the world of tea or enjoy the natural beauty of the area. Whether you choose to go on guided walks through the tea plantations, learn more about the tea picking and processing or just unwind in the idyllic surroundings of your hotel, the day is yours to enjoy the peace and views of this lovely part of Sri Lanka.
From the lush landscapes of the Hill Country to the historic Galle, a city that is a testament to Sri Lanka’s colonial past. Your stay at Amangalla, within the Galle Fort, is luxury in the midst of architectural beauty of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Private tours reveal Galle’s history and culture, from colonial architecture to daily life within the walls. Visit museums, stroll along the sea walls and discover the city’s unique blend of cultures, time to visit local shops famous for their quality and craftsmanship.

Each excursion will give you a deeper understanding of the region’s history, traditions and natural beauty, adding to your experience in this part of Sri Lanka.
Transfer to the Maldives, where turquoise waters and white sandy beaches await. Upon arrival in Male, transfer to a luxury beach resort that is the epitome of island chic. Your first day in this paradise is to get acclimatized and relax. Unwind by the pool, explore the soft sandy beaches or indulge in a spa treatment as you ease into island life.
Relax into the Maldivian pace of life with a day to do as you please. Explore the resort’s facilities, perhaps a spa treatment or a snorkel from the beach. As the sun sets, consider a romantic beach dinner and enjoy the local cuisine under the stars.
More of the island’s natural wonders, with options to go diving to see the coral reefs and marine life that make the Maldives an underwater paradise. For those who want to relax, lounging by the infinity pool or a yoga session overlooking the ocean is the perfect way to spend the day.

Enjoy your last full day in the Maldives by living the island life. Go catamaran sailing, sunbathing on the beach or treat yourself to another spa treatment to end your stay in style.
