View TourSri Lanka Tours for Indian Travellers
Sri Lanka is a short regional hop from India — typically 1 to 4 hours depending on which city you fly from (Chennai and Bengaluru are the shortest). That proximity makes it a genuinely easy long-weekend or short-break destination, not just a once-in-a-lifetime trip.
Visa & entry
Indian passport holders can apply for a Sri Lanka ETA online, generally a straightforward process.
What we plan most
Alongside beach and hill-country trips, we plan a fair number of shorter cultural and heritage-focused itineraries for Indian travellers, given the shared Buddhist history around sites like Anuradhapura, Kandy and Mihintale.

Sri Lanka tours from India: what to know before you go
Sri Lanka tours from India are among the easiest to plan. The flight takes between one and four hours depending on your city, with Chennai and Bengaluru the shortest, so a long weekend is enough to see Kandy or the south coast. You do not need to save leave for a once-in-a-lifetime trip.
The Sri Lanka ETA for Indian passport holders is applied for online, and it is usually a simple process. If you are comparing a Sri Lanka holiday package from India, think about what you want to feel: temples and history around Anuradhapura, Kandy and Mihintale, cool tea hills, or time by the sea. We plan short heritage routes as well as week-long family trips, and a driver-guide travels with you throughout. Our Sri Lanka tour packages from India are private, and a Sri Lanka tour package from Chennai or Bengaluru can be as short as two days. Write to us with your departure city and we will plan the days around your flight times, so a short break in Sri Lanka stays short and relaxed.

Frequently asked questions
What most travellers ask us before booking a Sri Lanka trip.
Most visitors need an ETA (Electronic Travel Authorization) before they arrive. You apply for it online, and it is usually approved within a day. Apply only on the official gov.lk site, because look-alike sites charge extra fees.
