De 7 jours à 3 semaines, des parcours sur mesure pour tous les profils.

Choisir de construire son itinéraire au Sri Lanka, c'est arbitrer entre des envies très différentes sur une île de seulement 65 000 km². En deux semaines, vous pouvez enchaîner cités royales, plantations de thé, safari et plages : encore faut-il doser le rythme et choisir la bonne saison.

Nos équipes sur place construisent les circuits autour de quatre grandes régions, à combiner selon vos priorités :

  • Le Triangle culturel — Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa, Sigiriya et Kandy concentrent 2 500 ans d'histoire bouddhiste et royale. Comptez 3 à 4 jours pour ne pas survoler les sites.
  • Les hauts plateaux — Nuwara Eliya, Ella et le train bleu entre les plantations de thé. Climat tempéré, randonnées et villages tamouls de cueilleuses.
  • Les parcs nationaux — Yala pour les léopards, Udawalawe pour les éléphants, Wilpattu pour la tranquillité. À caler en fin de circuit, avant la côte.
  • Les côtes — Sud-ouest (Galle, Mirissa) de décembre à mars, côte est (Trincomalee, Arugam Bay) de mai à septembre. Le choix dépend du mois de départ.

Un premier voyage de 12 à 15 jours combine généralement Triangle culturel, hauts plateaux, un parc et quelques jours en bord de mer. Pour un deuxième séjour, on bascule volontiers vers la côte est, Jaffna et la péninsule nord, encore peu visitées.

Les articles de ce blog sont rédigés par nos guides francophones à Colombo, à partir de leurs propres reconnaissances terrain : durées réalistes, transitions évitées, adresses testées récemment.
