A CLOSER LOOK
The island of Sri Lanka offers a tremendous diversity of photographic opportunities. We’ll take train rides to lush green tea estates where you can interact with the plantation workers, and then head to the southern coast to enjoy the bustling fishing activity, before ending in Colombo for some market hunting and street photography. We created the Sri Lanka Travel Photography tour to capture this one in a lifetime travel experience.
About Sri Lanka
What’s great about Sri Lanka is that you can balance luxury accommodation with very non-luxurious locations for photography, such as smelly fish markets and muddy tea fields. It makes for a great mix of creativity, adventure and comfort – a combination that makes it probably the most chilled-out photography tour run by Pics of Asia!
Spending time in Sri Lankan villages will help you get under the skin of this country, find out what makes people tick – and capture their unique pride and optimism in your images.

Preparation
01. What's Included
In all our tours we strive to make things easy so everyone can focus entirely on photography. This is the reason why our rates include everything during the tour: accommodation, transportation, all meals, and even tips to local people. What is not included is your international flight, visa, travel insurance, and souvenir purchase.
02. Group Size
Like in all our tours led by two photographers we limit the number of participants to 8, for better and more personalized coaching. As it is the case in my tours, we will mostly focus on people and ways to take their photos, in travel or street photography style. As we are doing photo critiques and Lightroom tutorials, make sure to take your laptop / iPad.
03. Accomodation & Transportation
We will be staying in 4-star hotels for most of the tour, making this tour one of our most comfortable one. All our meals will be in local restaurants and hotels. All our transportation from city to city will be made with our minivan. The train ride in the tea plantations included!
