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.
How to Reach Sri Lanka from India
Quick flights to Colombo, then explore at your own pace
Sri Lanka is one of India's easiest international getaways — a short hop across the water to Colombo, then a compact island where every highlight is only a few hours' drive apart. Direct flights from many Indian metros reach Colombo (CMB) in around 1 to 3.5 hours. Once there, a private car and driver or the scenic railway makes touring effortless. Holiday Vibez arranges your flights guidance, transfers and full itinerary end to end.

Flying to Sri Lanka
The main gateway is Colombo (CMB), served by direct flights from many Indian metros. Flight times run from around 1 to 3.5 hours depending on your city. It is one of the shortest international journeys available to Indian travellers, making even a short break feasible.
Getting Around the Island
Sri Lanka is compact, so distances between highlights are modest.
- Private car and driver — the most popular, door-to-door option
- The scenic Kandy–Ella train through tea country
- Tuk-tuks for short local hops
Why a Car & Driver Works Best
Sri Lanka drives on the left and roads can be winding, so most visitors leave the driving to a local. A private car and driver gives you flexibility, comfort and local knowledge, and lets you pause for photos and detours. Holiday Vibez includes this in your tour.
Best Time to Travel
For the west, south and hills, December to March is driest, while the east coast is best from May to September. We time your route to the sunniest region, whatever month you arrive in Colombo.
Visa for Indian Travellers
Before you fly, Indian passport holders need an ETA e-visa, applied for online. Holiday Vibez assists you with the application so you land ready to explore.

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.
