Full description
Discover the natural beauty and inspiring culture of Sri Lanka on a 3-day trip departing from Negombo. Visit landmarks such as Sigiriya, the Dambulla Cave Temple, and the Udawalawe National Park. Enjoy a hotel pickup and drop-off, accommodation, and some meals included. Day 1 : COLOMBO – SIGIRIYA – KANDY Sigiriya Museum This decent museum has a fine diorama of the site, providing an excellent overview and explaining Sigiriya's cultural importance beyond the obvious natural beauty. The theory that Sigiriya was a Buddhist monastery is given here, although the established position that it was a palace or fortress prevails. Dambulla Cave Temple Dambulla cave temple also known as the Golden Temple of Dambulla is a World Heritage Site in Sri Lanka, situated in the central part of the country. This site is situated 148 kilometers east of Colombo and 72 kilometers north of Kandy. Dambulla is the largest and best-preserved cave temple complex in Sri Lanka Sigiriya The Ancient Rock Fortress Rising dramatically from the central plains, the enigmatic rocky outcrop of Sigiriya is perhaps Sri Lanka's single most dramatic sight. Near-vertical walls soar to a flat-topped summit that contains the ruins of an ancient civilization, thought to be once the epicenter of the short-lived kingdom of Kassapa, and there are spellbinding vistas across mist-wrapped forests in the early morning. Overnight Stay at Royal Kandyan or Similar Hotel Day 2 KANDY-NUWARA ELIYA- ELLA Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic The golden-roofed Temple of the Sacred Tooth houses Sri Lanka’s most important Buddhist relic – a tooth of the Buddha. During puja(offerings or prayers), the heavily guarded room housing the tooth is open to devotees and tourists. However, you don’t actually see the tooth. It’s kept in a gold casket shaped like a dagoba (stupa), which contains a series of six dagoba caskets of diminishing size. As well as the revered main temple, the complex includes a series of smaller temples, shrines and museums.

We have spent the 3 days with Mr Suren (our guide) and Mr ANil (our driver) who did their best to ensure that we had a good trip and do all the activities. Theirs was a perfect attitude to deal with people: nothing is a problem. This is a very challenging tour: there’s a lot to see and it can be stressful. One must be prepared to wake up early, climb a lot and walk. Things to improve: the description of the tour is poor and short. There are some “tourist traps” in the middle, which doesn’t make sense when the time is short for the planned activities. Things like the herbal garden with “free” massage or the Gem Museum are actually shopping stops. I personally hate this as I don’t like to feel manipulated. Describe this as shopping stops (honesty is always appreciated). The elephant safari was too expensive (65usd person), the timing not adequate (afternoon) and very short. Also, it would be nice to inform how much the activities will cost so clients are prepared. Excellent hotels.

My communication started with Jeev, who patiently and wordy answered all my questions and tried adapt the program to my needs. Then Aaron took care of us during 3 days. All was as sharp as said in the program, we did not miss anything and everything went smooth. Aaron was kind, well-mannered and made sure all the time about us being comfortable. Special thanks for nice and comfy car. Despite long hours of driving 3-4+ hours - we felt very well. In the end, Jeev gave us a complimentary lift to airport. Which was quite nice. I think this tour company is reliable and does best for client. The tour implemented perfectly. Highly recommended.
