A representative from our company will be waiting for you at Bandaranaike International Airport when you land for your 10 day tour of Sri Lanka. After that, you’ll be driven to your lodging in the historic town of Sigiriya, where you can relax for the rest of the evening.

On the second day of your trip, you will be brought to the ancient city of Polonnaruwa. The second-oldest kingdom in Sri Lanka is Polonnaruwa. Polonnaruwa served as Sri Lanka’s second capital following the destruction of Anuradhapura in 993. It also features the beautiful remnants of Parakramabahu’s exquisite garden city, which was built in the 12th century, together with the Brahmanic temples built by the Cholas. The city is home to several archaeological treasures, including temples, shrines, castles, and ruins. Discover all there is to know about King Parakramabahu I’s palace (1153–1186). There are still intact walls in the 50-room structure, which was formerly rather huge. The walls of the king’s audience chamber are flanked by intricately carved stone elephants, while lion statues keep guard. There are enormous freshwater-spitting crocodile mouth statues in the king’s bathing pool. The Shiva Devale No. 2 is a stone structure that is tucked away in a little woodland. It is Polonnaruwa’s second-oldest Hindu temple.

After touring the historic city of Polonnaruwa, we are moving toward the Minneriya National Park. Many people visit this wildlife reserve to see Sri Lankan elephants. 150–300 wild elephants may congregate near Minneriya Tank during the dry season. Numerous wild creatures, including the Sri Lankan Leopard, Sloth Bear, Sri Lankan Sambar Deer, buffalo, and indigenous monkeys, call the 888.4-hectare Minneriya National Park home. After that, you’ll be driven back to Sigiriya to spend the night.

On the third day, you’ll do rock climbing before traveling to Kandy, which is known for the Sigiriya Rock Fortress. Sigiriya, also referred to as the “lion rock,” served as King Kashyapa’s capital and seat of government. The 180-meter-high rock According to a local tradition, King Kashyapa built a gateway in the shape of a huge lion halfway up a cliff in Sigiriya. Due to its shape, it was referred to as the “lion rock” (Sigiriya). The king’s death led to the castle’s abandonment. In the fourteenth century, it was still in operation as a Buddhist monastery. UNESCO has named the fortress’s ruins, which are still visible today, a World Heritage Site.

The Dambulla Golden Temple, also known as the Rangiri Dambulla Cave Temple, will be our next location. The five-chambered building is the biggest and best-preserved cave temple in Sri Lanka. Murals are painted over a total surface area of 2100 m2. The shrine contains 157 statues in all. The massive 150 m-tall rock that serves as the temple’s roof makes its presence a natural wonder. The huge, 15-meter-tall golden statue and pagoda were built after extensive repairs. Additionally, the temple is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Our next stop will be at the town of Hiriwadunna. The small town is not far from the rural area. This charming tiny town of barely 2500 people acts as a time portal. Observing the peasants’ daily routines in this way is fascinating. You may also have a delectable traditional Sri Lankan lunch and take bullock cart and boat excursions.

The Spice Garden, a magnificent location bursting with fragrances and flora, will be our next stop. You will also get the chance to learn about all the different ways that spices are used in food and medicine. The Matale Muthumariamman Temple will be our next destination. The words Muthu, which means pearl, Mari, which means rain, and Amman, which means mother, are combined to form the name Muthumariamman. It is a shrine to Mariamman, the Hindu deity of rain and fertility. It’s fun to visit the temple. A lot of people visit the temple for religious events and marriages. The largest religious ceremony conducted in the temple throughout the month of March is the chariot festival, which is a joyful celebration.

Then, we’ll proceed directly to Kandy, so you may dine and spend the night there.
