Elephant Baby and Mother at the Yala national park Travelling on Sri Lanka 3 days tour Even though on Sri Lanka 3 days tours you spend far less time in the vehicle compared to the one day tours, you will be travelling around 150 km a day on average. It means you spend around 2-3 hours travelling every day. Generally, public transport is not a viable option for Sri Lanka 3 days tours, because you need to complete the tour within 3 days (inclusive sightseeing tours). It is possible to visit many interesting places on a Sri Lanka 3 days tour, however, do not pack your trip with all the possible things that your encounter on the way, and keep some room to relax and leisure. In fact, you need a bit of time to explore the places you visit and you also need time to travel between tourist attractions. In this article, we indicated the estimated time to travel between cities because it is a daunting task to give you the exact time to drive between cities. With chaotic traffic, it is always a daunting task to indicate the exact time to travel between cities in Sri Lanka. If you pack your Sri Lanka 3 days tour with activities and places to visit, invariably you are limiting the time you can spend on your stops, making an unnecessary rush. It is necessary to have your own vehicle or a taxi to travel on these trips. Having private transport is the key to the success of all these Sri Lanka 3 days tours. If you opt to use public transport such as train and bus, you may not be able to do the tour as planned, because these private transports suck your time. This article is mainly written on the 15 best Places to visit in Sri Lanka in 3 days, however, we are not going to limit it to those 15 places. We are hoping to make a full picture of Sri Lanka 3 days tour route that we indicated at the start of the article. You will also get information about other minor tourist attractions, places to eat, and places to stay. How to choose the best travel route for your Sri Lanka 3 days trip All the three-day trip places in Sri Lanka, including in this article, give you the opportunity to engage in various interesting activities. We discuss 15 places and 3 travel routes to include in a Sri Lanka 3 days tour, but you cannot include all places in one trip. Therefore, tourists have to choose the best travel route based on their interests. Each travel route comes with a set of interesting places. E.g Sri Lanka 3 days travel route with a twist of adventure includes many adventure activities but it does not include temples or cultural sites. On the other hand, 3 days trip to the cultural triangle includes temples, and historical monuments such as Sigiriya, and Dambulla but no adventure activities. Choose the best travel route for your 3 days trip to Sri Lanka, thereby you to engage in the activities you most like and enjoy the trip. Where does the 3 days Sri Lanka tour start from? The 15 Best Places to visit in Sri Lanka in 3 days, coming in this article can be easily reached from Colombo or any other beach resorts on the west and south coast. Most of the places also can be visited on a day tour from Colombo, but you have to limit the trip to one or two places. The tourists can join the trips to Colombo airport or from the port, therefore, travellers can start the tours right after landing in Sri Lanka. However, all three 3 day tour packages mentioned in this article start not only in Colombo but also in beach resorts. These tours start from 140+ beach hotels on the west and southern coast of Sri Lanka. If you wish to take one of these 3 days' Sri Lanka tours, please get in touch with the local tour operator Seerendipity tours. Seerendipity tours are the sole organizer of all these 3 days' Sri Lanka tours. All trips are private programs. When you book tours directly with seerendipity tours, you can avoid the heavy commissions charged by the 3rd parties and online booking portals. Sri Lanka 3 days package: for whom is it suitable? We usually do not get bookings for these 3 days tours from guests staying in beach resorts. Instead of 3-day trips they mostly book Sri Lanka 1 day tours because they like to return to the beach resort on the same day for the overnight stay. Usually, most tourists, who book these 3-day tours are from Colombo or from the airport. And they do the 3 days tours before heading to the beach resort, thereby their beach holidays will not be interrupted. 1 day trip Vs 3 days trip Perhaps you might be considering doing a few 1-day trips instead of 1 Sri Lanka 3 days package. But, there are many benefits in engaging in a three day trip against a few one-day trips, check the below table. One 3 days tourFew 1-day toursSpend less time travelling Spend more time travelling, travel as twice as the 3-day tripMore time for sightseeing Less time for sightseeing Affordable Comparatively expensive Opportunity to have leisure No time for leisure Time to visit places not mentioned in the itineraryNo extra activities due to the time constraints Can drive to tourist attractions far away from the resortCannot visit places far away fromthe resort due to the time taken on travelling 2 overnight stays in the placesyou head on toNo overnight stay What are the activities available on Sri Lanka 3 days package?
