Authentic and Soft Adventure Holidays Many years ago, the island Sri Lanka was called Serendip, the origin of the word serendipity. We feel the influence of 'always making discoveries, by accidents and sagacity, of things they were not in quest of' is a good description of a Tell Tale trip generally! Perhaps particularly so in Sri Lanka. Have a look at our itineraries which have been put together from extensive research and with love and care. We are also happy to customise where possible. All tours include flights from the UK with a choice of airports including London, Birmingham, Manchester, Newcastle, Edinburgh and Glasgow. We are also able to arrange flights from other countries. It is also possible to book excluding flights. Please note any 'best taken' are guidelines. There is always weather to suit anyone's tastes at any time of year in Sri Lanka, a tiny island of many climates.
