Explore Sri Lanka’s ancient capital, including its monumental stupas, historic monasteries and sacred sites. The day can be paced around your interests and the weather.
Travel into the Cultural Triangle, adding suitable cultural or local stops along the way. Settle near Sigiriya and enjoy a relaxed afternoon.
Visit Sigiriya Rock Fortress during the cooler morning hours before exploring Dambulla’s remarkable cave temples. A village experience or local lunch may also be included.
Travel towards Kandy with thoughtfully selected stops along the route. Arrive in the hill capital and enjoy time beside the lake or within the city.
Discover Kandy’s cultural heritage, local streets, gardens and the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic. An evening cultural performance can also be arranged.
Journey through winding mountain roads, waterfalls and tea-growing landscapes. Visit a tea estate or factory before arriving in Nuwara Eliya.
