Location: Colombo, Sigiriya, Kandy, Nuwara Eliya, Galle, Bentota

DAY 1: Colombo
Welcome to Colombo, Sri Lanka. There are no activities planned today, so you can arrive at any time. You can arrive at a time convenient to you, and your driver will be at the airport to welcome you.
Although Colombo is the commercial capital and by far the largest city in Sri Lanka, it is still relatively small. You will be accommodated directly in Colombo.
Accommodation: Hotel in Colombo. Meals included: Dinner.
Those arriving early can take a Colombo city tour on their own or with the help of their guide. First, explore the sights on foot, then enjoy some epic views and learn all about the history and culture of Wattala. If you prefer to explore on your own, perhaps stroll along the coast, watching the local fishing boats and perhaps feasting on fresh seafood. The best way to explore the beautiful surrounding countryside is by bicycle, which can be rented with the help of the hotel reception.

Day 2: Colombo / Negombo / Anuradhapura / Sigiriya
Head to the Negombo fish market this morning. It can be quite a busy affair, but the variety of fish offered by the locals is a great experience.
From Negombo, continue your journey by private vehicle to Sigiriya. Visit numerous temples and ancient monuments in Anuradhapura along the way, which will take about five hours in total (280 kilometers). Afterwards, we will visit Mihintale, the Aukana Buddha statues.
Anuradhapura Historical City Tour with Hop-On Hop-Off
Stop in Anuradhapura and visit the temples, museums, dagobas, forts, stupas, and many other ancient monuments (a UNESCO World Heritage Site). Your Anuradhapura city tour with hop-on hop-off begins after your lunch break and lasts 3 to 4 hours.

Anuradhapura
With recent excavations, Anuradhapura’s history dates back to the 8th century BC, or 2800 BC. However, legends date back more than 3,000 to 5,000 years. (Ramayana being one of them) At that time, there were four tribes living in Sri Lanka. The kingdom lasted 1,500 years, starting in 380 BC. This city is home to many of Sri Lanka’s oldest and grandest monuments. It is a popular destination for Sinhala Buddhist pilgrimage due to its numerous ancient Buddhist monuments.
Anuradhapura, which King Pandukabhaya made the royal capital in 380 BC, remained the residence and royal capital of 119 successive Sinhalese kings until 1000 AD, when it was abandoned and the capital moved to Polonnaruwa. You’ll see some of Sri Lanka’s most famous and tallest dagobas, remains of palaces, temples, monasteries, ceremonial baths, and the temple of the sacred Bo tree. This tree grew from a sapling of the same tree under which Buddha found enlightenment over 2,500 years ago. You’ll visit all of these sites on our Anuradhapura hop-on hop-off city tour.
• Ruwanwelisaya: This is a stupa built by King Dutugamunu and is one of the largest completed to date.
• Thuparamaya: This is the oldest dagoba in Sri Lanka and possibly the oldest visible one in the world.
• Lovamahapaya: The significance of this building is that the roof was once covered with bronze tiles.
• Abhayagiri: This is one of the largest viharas in Anuradhapura. It was a monastery of 5,000 monks.
• Jethavanaramaya: This is a sacred World Heritage Site and housed around 3,000 monks at the time. It is also quite similar to Abhayagiri.
• Mirisavetiya: This stupa was built by King Dutugamunu after defeating King Elara.
• Lankaramaya: It was also built by a king named King Valagamba during the Anuradhapura Kingdom and is one of the eight sacred sites in the city.

Avukana Buddha Statue
The Avukana statue is considered one of the finest examples of a standing Buddha statue from ancient Sri Lanka. The Avukana statue is a standing Buddha statue near Kekirawa in north-central Sri Lanka. The statue, which stands over 46 feet (14 m) tall, was carved from a large granite boulder during the 5th century. It depicts a variation of the Abhaya mudra, and the heavily worn robe is elaborately carved. Built during the reign of Dhatusena, it may have been made as a result of a competition between a teacher and a student. The Avukana statue is one of the finest examples of a standing statue built in Sri Lanka. It is now a popular tourist attraction.

Mihintale
Mihintale is a mountain peak near Anuradhapura. It is one of the oldest religious sites in the world, dating back to the 2nd century BC. King Devanampiyatissa built it. The temple is now a pilgrimage site and the site of many important religious monuments and abandoned structures, such as an Ayurvedic hospital.
Heinz E. Müller-Dietz (Historia Hospitalium, 1975) describes the Mihintale hospital as perhaps the oldest in the world.

After an early breakfast, depart for the first rock fortress of Sigiriya and then to Polonnaruwa. Morning: Climb the famous Sigiriya Rock Fortress and visit the rock abode and water gardens, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the wonders of the world.
Sigiriya
Sigiriya is located in the central district of Matale, near the town of Dambulla in the Central Province, Sri Lanka. The name refers to a site of historical and archaeological significance dominated by a massive rock column nearly 200 meters (660 feet) high. According to the ancient Sri Lankan chronicle, the Culavamsa, King Kasyapa (477–495 AD) selected the site for his new capital. He built his palace on top of this rock and decorated its sides with colorful frescoes. On a small plateau about halfway up the slope of this rock, he built an entrance in the shape of a huge lion. The name of this place is derived from this structure: Sīhāgiri, the Lion Rock. The capital and royal palace were abandoned after the king’s death. It was used as a Buddhist monastery until the 14th century.
Later, in the early afternoon, visit the historic city of Polonnaruwa. The Polonnaruwa city tour lasts approximately two hours.
Polonnaruwa
Polonnaruwa is the second most historic city in Sri Lanka. It became the capital of Sri Lanka after Anuradhapura. Polonnaruwa, the second oldest kingdom in Sri Lanka, was first declared the capital by King Vijayabahu I, who defeated the Chola invaders in 1070 to reunite the country once again under a local leader. Today, the ancient city of Polonnaruwa remains one of the best-planned archaeological relic sites in the country, a testament to the discipline and grandeur of the Kingdom’s early rulers. Its beauty was also used as a backdrop for filming scenes for Duran Duran’s 1982 music video “Save a Prayer.” The ancient city of Polonnaruwa has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The city tour includes palaces, dagobas, and temples, and offers a fine example of Sri Lanka’s historic craftsmanship. On this 3-hour guided tour of the ancient city of Polonnaruwa, you will visit some of the following attractions:
• Royal Palace (Palace of King Parakramabahu, the most prolific and talented builder of the time)
• Nissankamulla Palace (Royal audience hall with impressive stonework)

• Statue of Parakramabahu (Statue of one of the greatest kings of ancient Sri Lanka)

Then, visit Sigiriya Village and take a cooking class to experience typical Sri Lankan village life and learn how to cook Sri Lankan-style.

Gal Vihara
Gal Vihara is a rock temple of Buddha located in the ancient city of Polonnaruwa. It was designed in the 12th century by Parakramabahu I. The temple’s central feature is four rock-relief Buddha statues, carved from the face of a large granitic boulder (granite gneiss). The images consist of a large seated figure, a smaller seated figure within an artificial cavern, a standing figure, and a reclining figure. These are considered some of the finest examples of ancient Sinhalese sculpture and carving and have made Gal Vihara the most visited monument in Polonnaruwa.

Dambulla Golden Temple
In the 1st century BC, the king of Anuradhapura fled the city due to an invasion from South India and took refuge in the Dambulla Caves. Upon recapturing Anuradhapura after 13 years, the king converted the caves into a monastery and gifted them to Buddhist monks.

Sri Dalada Maligawa, or the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic, is a Buddhist temple in Kandy, Sri Lanka. It is located in the royal palace complex of the former Kingdom of Kandy, which houses the relic of the Buddha. Since ancient times, the relic has played an important role in local politics because it is believed that whoever possesses it rules the country. Kandy was the
last capital of Sri Lanka’s kings and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, partly due to the temple.

National Museum
The National Museum of Kandy, opened in 1942, is located next to the sacred Temple of the Tooth and is housed in a section of the Royal Palace where the King’s concubines resided. This museum has over 5,000 artifacts on display, and among the most impressive exhibits are the golden crown of King Sri Wickrama Rajasinghe II and a copy of the 1815 treaty known as the ‘Kandy Convention,’ by which Ceylon ceded to the British on March 2, 1815. This marks 2,357 years of monarchy.
Arts and Crafts Center
Arts and crafts are an integral part of Sri Lanka’s ancient cultural heritage. Traditional Sri Lankan crafts are a vital industry in many parts of the island, including woodcarving, mask making, drum making, mat weaving, handlooms, lacquer work, reed and woven products, and more.
The Royal Palace
The last king to reside in the Royal Palace was King Sri Wickrama Rajasinhe until he was overthrown by the British in 1815 with the help of the Kandyan chiefs. Once part of a grand palace complex that included Raja Wasala (King’s Palace), Magul Maduwa (Royal Audience Hall), Meda Wasala (Queen’s Palace), Palle Wasala (King’s Harem Quarters), and Ulpange (Queen’s Bathing Pavilion), together with the Temple of the Tooth.

The ‘Magul Maduwa,’ a finely carved wooden masterpiece, is where the king met with his ministers and carried out his daily administrative duties. Many historic events have taken place at this location, and it was here that the British passed the death sentence on Sri Lanka’s national heroes, Keppatipola Disave and Madugalle Disave. A granite replica of Kandy’s Royal Audience Hall was built in Colombo in 1948 to commemorate Sri Lanka’s independence from the British.

If this isn’t your thing, head for dinner at one of the many local restaurants and bars. In the afternoon, visit the town of Nuwara Eliya.
Hillside Train Ride
The hillside train ride is an opportunity to see some of the best scenery in Sri Lanka’s hill country. The scenery beyond the track is truly stunning. The lush mountain views dominated every inch of the journey.
The hillside train ride is one of the most beautiful train journeys in the world; The seven-hour journey passes through tea plantations dotted with workers in brightly colored saris, pine forests, waterfalls, mountains, and gorges. The railway, built by the British in 1864 to transport tea and coffee from the Hill Country to the capital, Colombo, is now one of the best ways to explore the towns, cities, and national parks along the way.
Tea Factory
On a visit to a tea plantation, you can learn about tea harvesting and processing and enjoy a fine tasting of Sri Lankan tea. It’s probably a much more exciting prospect if you’re a tea lover, but even if you’re not, the Hill Country (or Tea Country, as it’s sometimes called) is arguably the most picturesque part of the island and well worth a visit.

Sita Amman Temple is located approximately 1 kilometer (0.62 miles) from Hakgala Botanical Garden and 5 kilometers (3.1 miles) from Nuwara Eliya. The temple is located in the village of Sita Eliya (also known as Sita Eliya). This spot is believed to be the site where Sita was held captive by Ashura Samrat (the Demon King) Ravana, and where she prayed daily for Rama to come and rescue her in the Hindu epic Ramayana. On the rock face across the stream are circular depressions said to be the footprints of Lord Hanuman.
Nine-Arch Bridge
The Nine-Arch Bridge is considered one of the greatest sites of railway engineering. The Nine-Arch Bridge is located just a couple of kilometers from the Ella tourist resort, near the Ella railway station. It is one of the most popular sites in Ella and is on the bucket list of every tourist visiting Ella. The Nine-Arch Bridge is a masterpiece of colonial-era construction. Construction was completed in 1921 during the British colonial era. The bridge is 100 meters long and rises up to 33 meters from the valley below. The breathtaking views from the high-rise bridge take travelers by surprise. The architecture of the nine-arch bridge was conceived by a local builder from Welimada, a small village a few kilometers from the highway.

Buduruwagala Temple
Buduruwagala is an ancient Buddhist temple in southern Sri Lanka. The complex consists of seven statues and belongs to the Mahayana school of thought. The statues date back to the 10th century. The gigantic Buddha statue still retains traces of its original stucco robe, and a long orange stripe suggests it was once brightly painted. The center of the three figures to the right of the Buddha is believed to be the Buddhist mythological figure: the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara. To the left of this white-painted figure is a female figure in the thrice-bowed posture, believed to be his consort Tara.
Kataragama Temple
The Kataragama Temple in Sri Lanka is a temple complex dedicated to the Buddhist guardian deity, the devil Kataragama, and the Hindu god of war, Murugan. It is one of the few religious sites in Sri Lanka revered by Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims, and the Vedda people.

The shrines and the nearby Kiri Vehera are managed by Buddhists, the shrines dedicated to Teyvāṉai and Shiva are managed by Hindus, and the mosque by Muslims.

Mirissa is famous for its blue whales, and tourists have seen them over the years, although whales are considered migratory mammals. While blue whales are here most days, Bryde’s and fin whales are also recorded a few days each month. Pods of sperm whales are seen in Mirissa mainly for a few days, only in March and April. Orcas and short-finned pilot whales are also occasionally sighted. Turtle Conservation Center
Projects have been launched to conserve the population of turtles that are on the verge of extinction, and such projects are located along Sri Lanka’s southern coast, where the turtles come ashore to lay their eggs.
The turtle digs a hole in the beach, lays its eggs, and covers them with sand where they are supposed to incubate them in the warmth of the sun. What often happens is that fishermen extract the eggs and sell them to people who consume them.
But now conservation projects buy the eggs and incubate them naturally.
Enclosed areas where birds have no way to collect them, the babies are released into the sea after two days at night, which gives them a better chance of survival.
Galle City
Galle is one of Sri Lanka’s ancient seaports and was an anchorage point on the Silk Road. It was later discovered by the Portuguese, where they built a fortress, and the Dutch who followed them further fortified it. This fortress is now a World Heritage Site.
Stop at the Stilt Fishermen’s
Stilt fishing is a traditional and unique style of fishing practiced by local fishermen in Sri Lanka, especially on the southern coast. With perfect balance and unsurpassed patience, the fishermen perch on cross-shaped beams and await their catch of the day! Your driver/guide will stop at Ahnagma, allowing you to observe the stilt fishermen more closely and perhaps try this unique fishing method for yourself.
Galle Fort
The fort has a colorful history and today has a multi-ethnic and multi-religious population. The Sri Lankan government and many Dutch residents, who still own some of the properties within the fort, are seeking to turn it into one of the modern wonders of the world. The fort’s heritage value has been recognized by UNESCO, and the site has been inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site under Criterion IV, for its unique display of “an urban ensemble illustrating the interaction of European architecture and South Asian traditions from the 16th to the 19th centuries.”
