Begin the day with a guided tour of Colombo, visiting temples, bustling markets, and sites of colonial architecture. In the afternoon, board a scenic train and journey across the country to the east coast, arriving in Batticaloa by evening. Overnight in Batticaloa. 

Spend each morning in classroom placements at a local K–12 school, assisting and co-teaching with Sri Lankan educators. Afternoons are dedicated to cultural immersion, with time to explore Batticaloa’s beaches, lagoon, and historic sites.  

As a team, we come together to plan and deliver a full day of professional development for local teachers. Drawing on our combined experience and strengths, we run interactive workshops focused on practical strategies, inclusive teaching, and student engagement — tailored to the local context.

It’s a powerful day of connection and learning, where we’re able to support and uplift local educators while growing in confidence and collaboration as a group.

 Depart Batticaloa by private transport and travel through Sri Lanka’s scenic hill country en route to Kandy. Upon arrival, settle in and enjoy a relaxed evening. Overnight in Kandy. 

Visit Kandy’s cultural highlights, including the sacred Temple of the Tooth and the tranquil Kandy Lake. In the afternoon, take part in an ethical, hands-on elephant experience at the Elephant Freedom Project. Enjoy a final group dinner together. Overnight in Kandy. 

The program concludes after breakfast. Group transfers back to Colombo are available, or participants may choose to continue their travels independently — or join our optional add-on excursion and continue to the beautiful, scenic resort town of Bentota, known for its stunning beaches and relaxing coastal charm. 

Travel to the beautiful coastal town of Bentota and settle into your beachside resort. Enjoy time to relax before heading out on a scenic boat safari along the Bentota River, exploring mangroves and spotting local wildlife. 

 Spend the morning at your leisure — relax on the beach, swim, or enjoy the resort. In the afternoon, begin your transfer back to Colombo, concluding your add-on experience
