After having studied customer preferences, and with their immense experience in planning tailor-made Sri Lanka Tour itineraries, the team at Blue Lanka Tours has come up with a few unique purpose-built tours that are centred around themes such as cooking, tea, famous architects, photography, gems, the veddah tribe, wellness tours, and much more.
1. Geoffrey Bawa Tour in Sri Lanka
In this Sri Lanka tour itinerary, those interested in exploring Sri Lanka’s modern designs as well as architectural heritage are in for a treat! Geoffrey Bawa is a famous Sri Lankan architect who contributed to Sri Lanka’s distinct and refined sense of style, having pioneered ecological design long before it was trendy. Guests can explore the areas where he lived, created, and drew inspiration on this thrilling journey.
Sir Geoffrey Bawa’s works are displayed in Colombo – Paradise Road Gallery Café, in Sigiriya at the Heritance Kandalama, and a couple of designs in Bentota – Villa Bentota and the Lunuganga. The tour is designed around these destinations and will end in Galle where another one of Bawa’s designs can be explored during your stay at Jetwing Lighthouse.
2. Home Stay Explorer Tour in Sri Lanka
Catering to a completely different clientele, this tour is dedicated to those who are looking for a very different perspective of a holiday in Sri Lanka, thus choosing to stay at Sri Lankan homes as their lodging. Homestays are not really a solution for travellers on a restricted budget, but are in fact loved by travellers seeking an authentic experience – from the eyes of a local. Blue Lanka Tours has partnered with homestays in Nuwara Eliya, Kandy, Ella and Mirissa to accommodate our clients while they tour Sri Lanka.
The home stay explorer tour offers experiences such as sleeping in a tree house, waking up with the birds, enjoying traditional Sri Lankan cuisine prepared from fresh ingredients, bathing at the natural waterspout, visiting the local market, and cooking a Sri Lankan meal with the host. Thus, making this tour nothing short of a true Sri Lankan immersion at its best!
