The pearl of Indian Ocean, Sri Lanka has more to offer and en-light its visitors. In this post, let me suggest an express 7 days in Sri Lanka tour itinerary for travelers who are in a need of quick relax and chilled holidays. The mango shaped little island has enough tourist destinations and hot-spots to check-in in 7 days. Even though the most of the travelers to Sri Lanka prefer 2 weeks tour itinerary to travel around Sri Lanka; for people with travel budget, tight work schedules, the 14 days Sri Lanka holidays may not be their cup of tea. On the other hand, 7 days in Sri Lanka tour is highly recommended for a Sri Lanka round tour too, due to the fact, that Sri Lanka is a little island, and has flexible transport system either private or public (trains, buses, private chauffeurs etc), so that, it is easy move around tour destinations within very few hours of time on a 7 days in Sri Lanka tour.
