Flights, Hotels & Bespoke Experiences

• International and domestic flights are operating as scheduled
• Luxury and boutique hotels are fully functional across the island
• Private excursions, wildlife safaris, cultural visits and coastal stays continue as planned

When short term adjustments are needed, these are handled seamlessly, ensuring that the flow and intent of each bespoke itinerary remains intact.

Roads, Rail & Private Transfers

All major road corridors connecting Sri Lanka’s key tourism regions are fully accessible, including:

• Colombo – Kandy (via Galagedara & Kadugannawa)
• Colombo – Kurunegala – Anuradhapura
• Kitulgala – Hatton / Nuwara Eliya
• Ella – Wellawaya

Private road transfers remain the preferred and most reliable way to travel between regions, ensuring comfort and continuity.

Some rail services in the hill country are operating on select segments as restorations continue. Where rail timing does not align with guest preferences, private vehicle transfers provide a smooth alternative.

The Pekoe Trail remains accessible in parts, with some sections under phased review to ensure guest safety.

Wildlife, Nature & Cultural Highlights

Sri Lanka’s signature experiences continue to operate:

Wildlife & Nature
Yala, Udawalawa, Bundala, Wilpattu, Minneriya, Kaudulla, Horton Plains and Kumana National Parks are open. Wasgamuwa is expected to reopen shortly.

Marine & Coastal Experiences
Whale watching in Mirissa, experiences in Kalpitiya, and visits to Hikkaduwa Coral National Park and Pigeon Island are fully operational.

Cultural Heritage
All major cultural and archaeological sites across the island remain open to visitors.

The only current restriction is the Knuckles Conservation Area, which remains temporarily closed for conservation and safety assessments.
