From the 30-minute callback to our private villa in Ubud, every little detail was handled. Our guide even arranged a surprise candle-lit dinner on the beach. Zero stress — pure magic.
Colombo Tour Packages
Sri Lanka's lively capital, where colonial heritage meets ocean-front cool.
Colombo is Sri Lanka's vibrant capital and the gateway to the island, a city where colonial arcades, gleaming temples and a breezy seafront sit side by side. Most visitors land here at Colombo (CMB) and many linger a day or two for its markets, temples and sunset promenade. Highlights include the ornate Gangaramaya Temple and the wide-open Galle Face Green beside the Indian Ocean. Holiday Vibez builds Colombo into your itinerary as a relaxed start or finish to a Sri Lanka tour.

Why visit Colombo
Colombo is more than an arrival point — it is a lively, walkable capital of temples, colonial architecture and a fine ocean-front. A day or two here eases you into island time and offers some of the country's best dining and shopping.
Where to go in Colombo
Base yourself between the Fort and Galle Face areas for easy access to:
- Gangaramaya Temple
- Galle Face Green promenade
- Pettah's bustling bazaars
- The Old Dutch Hospital dining precinct
How to reach
Colombo's Bandaranaike International Airport (CMB) receives direct flights from many Indian metros, typically one to three and a half hours away. The city centre is a short transfer, and your private car and driver can continue the tour from here.
Best time to visit
Colombo sits on the west coast, so it is at its most pleasant December to March when skies are clearer and the sea calmer. The city is enjoyable year-round, with occasional afternoon showers during the mid-year monsoon.
Visa (ETA)
Indian travellers need an online ETA before arriving in Colombo. It is usually quick to obtain, and Holiday Vibez assists you with the application.
Food & travel tips
Try rice and curry, hoppers and fresh seafood, and don't leave without a cup of Ceylon tea. Dress modestly at temples, remove shoes and hats before entering, and stick to bottled water.

Real stories from real journeys
Thousands of families and couples across South India have travelled with us — here's what a few of them had to say.
Travelling with my parents and two kids, I was nervous. Holiday Vibez planned every single day perfectly, and the Alleppey houseboat was the highlight. We are already planning our next trip with them.
Best price I found anywhere, and the desert safari and Burj Khalifa tickets were all sorted before we even landed. The team was on WhatsApp whenever I had a question.
The Gulmarg gondola, the shikara ride on Dal Lake — exactly like the photos, no surprises at all. By the end of the trip our driver felt like family.
Booked a fairly last-minute Phuket trip and they still got me a great deal with visa help included. Honest, smooth and genuinely helpful people.
Scuba at Havelock was a dream come true. Every transfer and every hotel was exactly as promised. Worth every rupee, and I have already recommended them to friends.
