Journeys

VEDA Travel

Extend your stay with a private driver and an all-inclusive itinerary.

The Trails of Sri Lanka

Safari, mountains and sacred mysteries

  • 6 days / 5 nights
  • Yala → Ella → Haputale → Kandy → Dambulla → Sigiriya

From the elephants of Yala to the misty tea plantations, from the legendary mountain train to the Lion Rock, this journey crosses the island's most breathtaking landscapes in six days. You travel in a small group with a private driver, on an itinerary we designed and experienced ourselves. Every stop, every viewpoint, every address chosen with care. All you have to do is let yourself be carried along.

To be confirmed: Is the price indeed "per person"? This reading is still to be confirmed by Aurélie.

Royal Cities & the Northern Road

Cultural journey

  • 7 days / 6 nights
  • Dambulla → Sigiriya (2 nights) → Minneriya → Polonnaruwa → Anuradhapura → Jaffna (3 nights) and its islands

This journey traces the thread of Sri Lanka's history: the painted caves of Dambulla, the fortress of Sigiriya, the elephants of Minneriya, the royal ruins of Polonnaruwa, the sacred capital of Anuradhapura, then the northern road to Jaffna, the island's other face, Tamil and insular, that so few travellers take the time to discover. A journey for those who want to understand the soul of this country, not just cross it.

To be confirmed: Price and journey name to be confirmed by Aurélie.

The Grand Island Tour

Culture, mountains and safaris

  • 13 days / 12 nights, or 14 days with the Trincomalee option from May to October
  • Dambulla → Sigiriya (2 nights) → Minneriya → Polonnaruwa → Anuradhapura → Jaffna (3 nights) → Kandy (2 nights) → mountain train → Ella (3 nights) → Haputale → Yala → Hiriketiya → La Maison VEDA

The complete journey, for those who want to live it all: the royal cities of the Cultural Triangle, the northern road to Jaffna and its islands, the Temple of the Tooth, the legendary mountain train, three nights to breathe in Ella, the Yala safari, and a last swim at Hiriketiya before arriving at La Maison VEDA, where the journey ends, or carries on. Two weeks at the right pace: never two big days in a row, base camps to unpack in, and time to let the island sink in.

To be confirmed: Price and journey name to be confirmed by Aurélie.

  • « La maison est située au bord du lac, sur lequel on a une belle vue depuis le toit, et entourée d'arbres — et la nuit de lucioles. [...] Aurélie a toujours été réactive et nous a donné beaucoup de conseils, et nous avons également pu participer à son excellent cours de yoga. »

  • « L'espace yoga avec vue sur le lac est tout simplement époustouflant au lever du soleil ! [...] Idéal pour les télétravailleurs : cadre paisible, wifi performant, et à quelques minutes de la plage en scooter. Un véritable petit bijou. »

Our story

Our story

La Maison VEDA was born from a journey of transformation, a return to essence, and a calling to live in harmony with body, mind, and soul.

I grew up in the heart of the Cognac region, surrounded by the beauty of the French countryside. On the outside, my life seemed successful: studies in Bordeaux and a decade in the pharmaceutical industry. Inside, I felt disconnected, just another number in a world where humanity seemed to fade. The stress drained my nervous system and took its toll on my health, my digestion above all. I burned out.
