Itinerary Advice -- 10 Days with A Kid
Hello fellow travelers!
We are travelling from the USA to Sri Lanka in mid-March 2022. We arrive at 2:30AM into Colombo on a Saturday. We typically try to avoid stays of just one night. Family is two active adults in late 40s and our 9 year old son who is a solid traveler. I expect we will hire cars with drivers. We are not on a tight budget. We are geared more towards culture, food, sights vs adventure.
My current rough itinerary is, with arrival into Colombo 2:30AM, is to book transfer straight to Tangalle (or similar beach area) for when we land (is this crazy?), then nights at:
Thanks to all in advance!

- Tangalle (relax on beach, get over jet lag!)
- Tangalle
- Ella (via car xfer)
- Ella
- Kandy (via train)
- Kandy
- Near Sigiriya (via car xfer)
- Wilpattu (visit Sigiriya early, stop at Anuradhapura, then onto Wilpattu all via car xfer)
- Wilpattu
- Colombo (via car xfer)
- Morning Transfer for 5 nights in Maldives
Thanks to all in advance!
