How to choose a 7-day Sri Lanka package
Prebuilt vs custom, classic loop vs beach-first, and what to lock before you land.
## Start with season, not Instagram Seven days is enough for the **classic private loop** (Cultural Triangle → Kandy → Ella → south) in the right months. In east-coast season, rewrite the beach end.
## Prebuilt vs custom - **Prebuilt** ([7-day package](/itineraries/7-day-sri-lanka)): faster quote, proven pacing, still editable. - **Custom**: better when you have fixed hotels, elders, or must-see constraints.
## Decision checklist 1. Which coast matches your month? ([Season guides](/travel-guides)) 2. Airport: same-day drop to first hotel or Colombo rest night? 3. One safari or none? 4. Train to Ella one way?
## What we need to quote Dates, headcount, luggage, and must-sees. From-prices on the site are planning floors — WhatsApp confirms the fare.
## Next step [Browse packages](/itineraries) or [request a custom plan](/book?intent=tour).
