Offices in Colombo, Sri Lanka and Israel

Most flights from Israel arrive at Bandaranaike, near Colombo. A quiet first day in the city — or at least an unhurried morning — is worth more than an immediate site visit. Meetings and property viewings are easiest to cluster over one or two days in Colombo, and sometimes in Port City Colombo. Touring then runs as a single stretch, rather than commuting back to the city each night.
Sigiriya and Kandy (including the Temple of the Tooth and the lake) are the classic few days out of town. Tea country around Nuwara Eliya and Ella suits travellers who can stay a night or two in the hills. The south coast, including Galle, works as a calmer finish when you have consecutive days, not a rushed return trip.
Elephant Tours’ 10-day itinerary shows how hills, safari and beach can be joined in one arc, and it can be shortened or extended around your meeting days. Other starting points are on their recommended itineraries page.
Kenglobe Lanka advises on investment, including our open listings and events. Holiday logistics are arranged with Elephant Tours; you can start via their enquiry form.
It depends on the diary. Two or three days in Colombo plus four to seven days on the road already give a real taste of the island. Ten days allow a fuller hills–safari–beach arc.
Kandy and Sigiriya are common few-day add-ons. Tea country needs an extra night or two. The south coast works better as a consecutive finish than as a single long day trip.

Ten days is enough for a balanced route from Colombo to Kandy and tea country, then a safari and a finish on the south coast. Seven days means a conscious cut — usually fewer beach days or skipping a region — and should be built around the season, not as a race between sights.

There is no single “best” month for the whole island. December–March is especially comfortable for the south and west coasts; July–September suits the east coast and safari. October is usually the least settled month. Build the route around the region, not only the departure date from Israel.

You can travel in Sri Lanka while keeping kosher and Shabbat, but you cannot rely on a restaurant being available in every resort town. Chabad houses on the island offer Shabbat meals and kosher food, yet opening hours change and must be confirmed in advance. Tour operators who work with Israeli travellers can also build a private itinerary with suitable lodging and pre-ordered meals.
