Upon arrival, our representative will pick you up from the Bandaraniyake International airport. This person will be your private driver cum guide for the entire duration of your Sri Lanka round tour. For the first night of your tour, you will be driven to Colombo – the commercial capital of the island. You will check in to Galle Face Hotel for your first night in Sri Lanka.

In the morning of Day Two, you will be driven to the city of Anuradhapura. This is the city of ancient ruins where you can obtain an in-depth explanation of the history of Sri Lanka. One of the stops in between would be The Ancient City of Yapahuwa: a 300 foot fortified wonder that dates back to the 13th century.

During the morning of Day three, you will get the chance to visit the Mihintale Buddhist Temple where you will find more ruins amongst the first Buddhist Temple in Sri Lanka.

On day four, you will move from Anuradhapura to Sigiriya where we have some adventure lined up for you amidst the dated historical ruins. Sigiriya, also known as the “Lions Rock” is a palace built by an ancient King on top of a rock. To see the palace you have to climb the rock, which is quite a do-able activity by most of us.

During your climb you will see some beautiful frescos embedded in the rock and a Lion’s Gate, as the entrance to the palace. At the top you will see ruins of the palace as well as an amazingly breathtaking view of the cultural triangle of Sri Lanka. After this adventurous activity, you will be driven to Heritance Kandalama for a relaxing night stay in a luxurious atmosphere.

Afterwards, you can enjoy the Kandy Town for what it is by having an amazing sightseeing experience. Towards the evening you can enjoy an entertaining Kandyan Cultural Dance Show.

On day seven, we will explore the panoramic beauty of the beautiful town of Nuwara Eliya, also known as “Little England”. En route, you will come across attractive waterfalls amongst the hills.

The next morning, we advise you to sacrifice some sleep and wake up at the crack of dawn to be able to explore the breathtaking view of sunrise from the “Ella Gap”. This is the astonishing view in between two cliffs that creeps up with the sunrise every morning. The rest of the day is left for your relaxation.
