Welcome to Sri Lanka! Arrive at any time, and we’ll be ready to greet you with a smile. Whether you’re landing at Colombo Airport or already in the city, our team will pick you up and take you straight to your hotel to settle in and relax before the adventure begins.
Breakfast is included and then we're off to the Sri Lankan countryside! En route to Dambulla, we make a stop off at the lesser-known Elephant Rock for the first of many epic viewpoints. Then, check-in at the hotel before sunset explorations of the World Heritage Dambulla Cave - also known as the Golden Temple of Dambulla. Scientists have dated remains found here back to the 1st century BCE!
Start the morning with a light breakfast before heading out early to beat the heat and the crowds. We’ll climb the iconic Lion Rock, a UNESCO-listed wonder with ancient ruins and unbeatable views from the top. After the descent, head back to the hotel to chill and recharge. If you're still feeling adventurous, there’s an optional sunset hike up nearby Pidurangala Rock.
Check out of your Sigiriya hotel and journey through the countryside toward the hill city of Kandy. Along the way, enjoy views of rural life and lush landscapes. Once in Kandy, settle into your hotel and enjoy some free time. If you're up for it, you can join a cultural dance show or take part in an exclusive village tour with a traditional lunch before leaving Sigiriy

You will get to sample the best of Sri Lankan food... and it is so, so tasty. Breakfasts are typically Western dishes that you would expect to find back home. Sometimes you will have a buffet-style breakfast, and in other locations, you will have simple eggs on toast with fruit. We get that if you just need to satisfy that craving for a pizza or burger! Western food is usually available everywhere on the tour. As the tour explores different areas of Sri Lanka, you will have the opportunity to taste the various cuisine styles from around the country. Vegetarian and non-vegetarian options will also be provided.
