Tour Dossier Pearl of the Indian Ocean Classic Tour │15 Days│Moderate Pace Tour Dossier Pearl of the Indian Ocean Classic Tour │15 Days│Moderate Pace This document was designed to provide a straightforward description of the physical activities involved in sightseeing or travelling during the tour. All passengers should read this dossier to assess the physical requirements of the programme and their ability to complete the tour. Classic Tours Our Classic tours are designed for those who wish to see the iconic sites and magnificent treasures on a fully- inclusive excellent value group tour. Pearl of the Indian Ocean is a Moderate Pace tour; Tours require a higher level of fitness and may include standard activities and longer periods of sightseeing. Easy walking, high altitude and overnight train journeys may feature. Tour Highlights: On our Pearl of the Indian Ocean itinerary, you will visit: Negombo - Coastal city on the west coast of Sri Lanka, known for busy fish markets and beautiful beaches Sigiriya - Spectacular rock fortress and UNESCO World Heritage listed site Kandy - Capital of Sri Lanka’s hill country and is the home of the Sacred Tooth Relic of Lord Buddha Nuwara Eliya - ‘Little England’; set amongst mountains, valleys and tea plantations Udawalawe Elephant Transit Home - Located inside the Udawalawe National Park, the Elephant Transit Home cares for orphaned, abandoned and displaced elephants, rehabilitates them and releases them into the National Park.

Colombo - Sri Lanka’s capital city and the country’s political, economic and cultural centre Visit wendywutours.com.au Call 1300 727 998 to speak to a Reservations Consultant Destination Profile Sri Lanka - Sri Lanka is a beautiful island, with a 2,500m-high mountainous range, stunning waterfalls, endless tropical beaches and national parks full of amazing wildlife. Explore ancient cities, temples, monuments and architecture that reveal evidence of the former presence of the British Raj. Development in Sri Lanka - Although Sri Lanka is developing quickly, it still lacks the international standards of civil infrastructure and tourist facilities. Concepts of personal responsibility are also different to those in Australia. Consequently, tourist and public facilities may not uphold the same safety standards as in Australia; for example, you may see a hole in the road without a warning sign or safety barricade. All of our suppliers meet local safety standards as a minimum. We want you to have an enjoyable holiday so we ask that you take extra care, use your common sense, refer to notices and follow advice from your National Escort/Local Guides. Roads in Sri Lanka - Main and inner city roads in Sri Lanka have a reputation for being very congested. For this reason, it may not always be possible to return to your hotel after sightseeing to freshen up before going to the restaurant for dinner. Roads in Sri Lanka have generally been improved over recent years, but traffic and/or weather conditions may extend driving times. Road construction work usually covers an enormous section of road – not just one or two kilometres as you may be used to. For this reason, the timings listed in the sections below are approximations only. Cuisine in Sri Lanka - Sri Lankan is home to a melting pot of cuisine. Throughout years of colonization and influence from other countries and a history of spice trading, Sri Lankan has adapted its own distinct flavor. While travelling in Asia, it is important to keep an open mind and be adventurous. All meals (excluding drinks) are included in our fully inclusive Pearl of the Indian Ocean group tour from the groups’ arrival until the groups’ day of departure. Please be aware that dishes selected for your meals reflect the cooking styles and signature dishes of the local area you are in. Joining Your Tour - The tour is 15 days in duration including international flights. Travellers booked on ‘Land Only’ arrangements should make their own way to the starting point. Join the tour on Day 1 in Negombo and end the tour on Day 14 in Colombo. Please refer to your Final Itinerary for more specific meeting instructions pertaining to your departure. Itinerary changes 1. Our intention is to adhere to the day-to-day itinerary as printed; however order of events and sightseeing may vary according to local conditions. 2. An improvement has been made to the itinerary to enhance your experience in Sri Lanka. In 2016 you will overnight in the beautiful coastal town of Ahungalla (or the nearby town of Hikkaduwa) instead of Galle. Flight Delays or Changes to Arrival Times - Due to unforeseen circumstances, flights can be delayed, and therefore connecting flights may be missed. If you find yourself in this situation, please contact our Sri Lanka office on + 94(0) 777 358 737 (24 hours) to urgently advise your arrival details have changed. Please ensure you have your trip number, tour name (both included in your final documentation) and new arrival details (flight number and arrival time) handy to pass on to our local office in Sri Lanka. This will ensure your National Escort/Local Guide can be informed of your most up to date information and ensure someone is at the airport to meet you on arrival.
