What you can expect

Begin your day with an early morning pickup from your hotel in Kandy. Relax in a private, air-conditioned vehicle as you travel through the scenic countryside towards the plains of the Cultural Triangle.

Your first stop is the magnificent ancient city of Polonnaruwa, the second capital of Sri Lanka. Here, you'll explore the sprawling archaeological park, best seen by bicycle (included for a classic experience, or opt for a tuk-tuk at an extra cost). Witness remarkably well-preserved ruins including the Royal Palace complex, the sacred Quadrangle with its stunning Vatadage (circular relic house), and the famous Gal Vihara—four magnificent Buddha statues carved seamlessly from a single granite rock.

After an authentic Sri Lankan lunch, continue to the legendary Sigiriya Lion Rock. Ascend this 200-meter tall rock fortress, a UNESCO-listed masterpiece of ancient urban planning. Climb the metal stairways past the renowned Mirror Wall and the breathtakingly detailed Sigiriya Frescoes (Damsels). Pass through the colossal Lion's Paw gateway and be rewarded with unforgettable 360-degree panoramic views from the summit, once the palace of King Kasyapa.
Also You can visit Dambulla Cave Temple,Herbal Gardens and Matale Hindu Temple on your way back to Kandy.

After descending, begin your comfortable journey back to Kandy, with drop-off at your hotel in the evening, filled with memories of Sri Lanka's glorious past.
