Day 1Bandaranaike International Airport to Sigiriya

Declared a world heritage site by UNESCO, Sigiriya serves as a fine example of ancient urban planning. Sigiriya is a significant site of the Cultural Triangle and perhaps Sri Lanka’s most iconic historical destination. The site, also known as Lion Rock, is recognized all over the world for the remains of the ancient Sigiriya Rock Fortress and its numerous enchanting and well-preserved attractions. The complex hydraulics system at the fortress enhances the site’s reputation as a beautiful example of classical city planning.

It is located in the Matale district in the centre near the town called Dambulla. According to history, this site was chosen by the king Kasyapa to serve as his new capital. There is a huge gateway shaped like a lion and the place derives its name from this gateway. This place served as a Buddhist monastery until the 14th century.

The fortress complex, constructed in the 5th century, includes attractions such as the royal gardens, one of the oldest landscaped gardens in the world, and the Mirror Wall, which is adorned with ancient graffiti. The highlight of the fortress is the colourful frescoes painted on the western face of the rock; it is believed that there were initially 500 such frescoes, but merely around 22 of them remain today. The gigantic Lion’s Paws greet visitors before the summit. At the peak are the ruins of the royal palace of King Kashyapa I, and 360- degree panoramas of the surrounding landscape. Sigiriya Museum at the foot of the rock has a plethora of artefacts related to Sigiriya on display for visitors seeking information regarding the site’s history.

Another interesting archaeological site located nearby is Pidurangala, which houses the remains of a cave temple complex. Hiking to the summit of Pidurangala Rock offers stunning views of the Sigiriya Rock. Visit Sigiriya and explore the opulence, might and sophistication of the ancient kingdoms of Sri Lanka.

Day 2Sigiriya/Dambulla to Kandy

Settled on a plateau encircled by lush mountains, Kandy is a large city in central Sri Lanka with biodiverse rainforests and tea plantations. Around 4 hours by road from Colombo, the city is famed for the Temple of the Tooth Relic, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Kandy is bountiful in nature with national parks like Udawattekele Sanctuary, and mystical cloud-laden peaks like Hanthana Mountain Range. Truly, the city is an epicentre of cultural, historical, spiritual and nature tourism.

Overlooked by Kandy Viewpoint, Bogambara Lake is the city’s heart. Since 1807, the scenic lake has a flurry of historical sites and snazzy waterfront eateries. Kandy is a paradise for families and adventure lovers, featuring amazing activities to enjoy in Horton Plains National Park, Millennium Elephant Foundation, and Royal Botanical Garden. Hiking in the Knuckles Mountains brings you to grasslands and jagged peaks, while Riverton Gap’s trekking trails offer waterfalls like Huluganga Waterfall. To see Kandy’s famed tea estates, Giragama Plantations and Ranweli Spice Garden are the top destinations.

Learn more about Lankan history at tourist hotspots like Ceylon Tea Museum, Commonwealth War Cemetery or the Royal Palace Of Kandy. Then, seek blessings at Lankatilaka and Degaldoruwa Temples. For a perfect finishing touch to your Kandy tour, take home beautiful handmade gems, antiques, Ceylon tea and Buddhist handicrafts from Main Market, Kandy City Centre and Buddhist Publication Society.

Day 3Kandy to Nuwara Eliya

Nuwara Eliya is Sri Lanka's hill station famed for its tea production. With a multitude of gorgeous attractions ranging from waterfalls and tea plantations to gardens and lakes, Nuwara Eliya is the epitome of scenic beauty. Add to that the colonial-style buildings dotting the area, a golf course and the cold climate— and you'll feel like you have entered a world unlike Sri Lanka's iconic landscape; no wonder it is also called Little England!

Nuwara Eliya besides being the most important site for tea production also happens to be overlooked by the Pidurutalagala. This is the tallest mountain in Sri Lanka. This city enjoys an extremely temperate climate. Indeed this place happens to be the coolest part of Sri Lanka.

The most notable among Nuwara Eliya's sights is Lake Gregory, a stunning reservoir constructed in 1873; boat rides, jet skis and pony rides are relatively common at this typically tranquil lake.

The waterfalls in and around Nuwara Eliya include Lover's Leap Falls, Bomburu Ella Falls, St. Clair's Falls and Devon Falls. Victoria Park is a beautiful recreational area with several floral species and is a popular spot for birdwatching in the city. Another location for birdwatching and rare wildlife sightings is Galway's Land National Park. The numerous verdant tea plantations in Nuwara Eliya deserve a special mention; they are certainly one of the main draws of the city's tourism.

Nuwara Eliya is a start point for visiting Horton Plains National Park. The city is near the Hakgala Botanical Gardens, home to thousands of flora, and the Seetha Amman Temple, dedicated to the Hindu goddess Seetha.

Day 4Nuwara Eliya to Yala

Time to ride into the wilderness of this Sri Lanka tour package away from the comforting beauty of Nuwara Eliya!

Bentota is famously known for the Bentota Beach, which is loved by tourists and locals alike. The town known for its pristine waters and lush green landscapes, with the dominance of tall palm trees. Interestingly, the name ‘Bentota’ is derived from Ben, a demon who once ruled the Tota or river bank.

The crystal clear Bentota river lies north of the town. Along it is Sri Lanka’s most famous resort, Bentota National Holiday Resort Complex. This resort is the most luxurious and most visited holiday resort in the country. Bentota Beach provides a range of water sports including snorkelling and scuba diving.

Local and international tourists make Bentota a part of their itinerary because of the breathtakingly beautiful landscape that predominates the town. The town is in shades of green along with the blue waters, which are a visual treat. This beautiful view makes Bentota a favourite weekend getaway from Colombo, Beruwala, etc.

Apart from this, the prime importance of the coastal town is in its toddy production, which is an alcoholic beverage made from coconut nectar, and the rejuvenating Ayurveda therapies that the scenic village offers.

Bentota also has an airport, named Bentota River Airport and the local population is predominantly Sinhalese Buddhists.
