Are we insane? 4 Day Sri Lanka Itinerary
My friend and I (21F, 22M) are planning on taking advantage of a public holiday weekend next month and are looking into travelling from Singapore to Sri Lanka. We have come up with a rough itinerary, but are really struggling with deciding if this is a worthwhile trip in such a short time-frame.
Day 1 (Thur): Arrive in Colombo at 11:15 AM
Spend the day in Colombo
Take a 12:30AM - 6 AM night bus from Colombo to Ella
Day 2 (Fri): Day in Ella
See the Nine Arch Bridge
Little Adams Peak
Explore Ella and the Area
Sleep in Ella
Day 3 (Sat): Transit to Dambulla
Seems like we can take a 6hr journey from 6 am - 12 pm with a transfer in Kandy by public transport
Sigiriya and Pidurangala Rock
Explore Dambulla in evening
Day 4 (Sun)
Early morning Dambulla Cave Temple
Minneriya National Park Safari
Private Transfer to Colombo Airport for 1:50 AM flight (4hr30m Journey)
Is this too packed? Is it even worth it for us to go to Ella since it adds that huge transfer on public transport? Should we just go Colombo --> Kandy --> Dambulla --> Airport? Adams Peak instead of Ella? Our flights are refundable for 24hrs and we are happy to look into other destinations if this isn't feasible.
