Why travel with Hopscotch
Hopscotch Lanka Travels is based in Battaramulla, just outside Colombo. Your holiday is planned and operated by our Sri Lanka-based team, from your first enquiry to your final airport transfer.
Every trip travels by private air-conditioned vehicle with an English-speaking chauffeur guide. You set the pace and stop where you like.
Nothing here is a fixed departure. Dates, route, hotel standard and pace are all decided around what you actually want.
Airport meet-and-greet on arrival and a departure transfer at the end, with fuel, parking, tolls and all driver costs already covered.
24/7 local support for the whole trip — a Sri Lankan team on the ground, not an overseas call centre.
Holiday options
These are journeys we already run, with the routes we know work. Use one as a starting point and we’ll adjust the length, the hotels and the stops to suit you.
Sigiriya · Polonnaruwa · Kandy · Nuwara Eliya · Udawalawe · Unawatuna
Culture, hill country, a safari and the south coast in a single week. The best fit if you have one week of annual leave to spend.
Habarana · Polonnaruwa · Kandy · Nuwara Eliya · Ella · Yala · Unawatuna · Negombo
Our classic island loop, including the hill-country train to Ella and two nights on the beach before you fly home.
Wilpattu · Habarana · Kandy · Nuwara Eliya · Udawalawe · Yala · Sinharaja · Mirissa
A fortnight built around Sri Lanka’s national parks — elephants, leopards and rainforest, finishing with whales off Mirissa.
You choose the route
Not quite right? Tell us your dates, who’s travelling and what you want to see, and we’ll build the itinerary from scratch.
International flights between the UK and Sri Lanka are not included in these itineraries. We can work around the flights you book, or point you to the routes our UK travellers usually use.
Tailor-made
There is no fixed departure to fit around. Once we know roughly what you want, we build the itinerary and quote it for your dates. Things we change most often:
How long you travel for
Couples, families or a group
Hotel standard, from comfortable to luxury
Which destinations you include
How much beach time you want
Wildlife, culture or a bit of both
How fast or slow you move
Activities and add-ons
UK & Sri Lanka
Britain and Sri Lanka have been linked for generations, and in the hill country those threads are still easy to spot — a railway that climbs slowly through the tea estates, small stations wrapped in mist, and the cool green streets of Nuwara Eliya.
Everything around it is unmistakably Sri Lankan. Ancient cities and centuries of Buddhist and Hindu heritage, leopards and elephants in the national parks, rice and curry that tastes different in every town, and warm-water beaches on three coasts — all on an island small enough to cross in a day.
One of Sri Lanka’s leading visitor markets. 212,277 UK travellers visited in 2025 — more than from any country except India.
