Transport only - 12 Days Private Round Trip in Sri Lanka

Meet and Greet at the Airport

The five caves are filled with stunning murals and over 150 statues of Buddha and other deities. The climb to the temple provides panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. This is a must-do for anyone interested in Sri Lankan art and history.

The climb to the top is an adventure in itself, with a staircase carved into the rock. Highlights include the famous Sigiriya frescoes (the 'Maiden' paintings') and the 'Mirror Wall.' The summit offers incredible 360-degree views and the ruins of the ancient palace. It's a challenging but highly rewarding experience.

The ruins are spread out and best explored by bicycle, offering a fun and active way to see the ancient city. Key sites include the Royal Palace, the Gal Vihara (with its four magnificent Buddha statues carved from a single rock), and the Lankatilaka Vihara.

Visitors can witness daily ceremonies (pujas) where the public is allowed to view the casket holding the relic. The temple's architecture is beautiful, and the atmosphere is deeply reverent. It's a profound cultural experience and a key part of any visit to Kandy.

A jeep safari in Yala offers the best chance to spot Sri Lankan leopards, as well as sloth bears, elephants, crocodiles, and a vast array of bird species. The park's diverse landscape, from dense jungle to open plains and lagoons, adds to the thrill of the safari.
