Highlights

Transfer to Dambulla

Sigiriya The Ancient Rock Fortress - Visiting the lion rock fortress in Sigiriya will be one of the most memorable experiences of your life. At the top of the rock, you can witness the skills of our ancient people and their knowledge of hydraulic systems, paintings, urban planning, architecture, and much more.

Dambulla Royal Cave Temple - This is the largest painting gallery in Sri Lanka since ancient times. The cave temple’s history dates back to the 1st century BC. It was one of the best places for Buddhist monks to perform their rituals and also served as a dwelling place.

Kaudulla National Park Safari - The elephant is one of the Big Five animals in the world, and Kaudulla National Park is one of the best places to see elephants in Sri Lanka. Sometimes, you may see more than 150 elephants at once. Booking a safari jeep to this national park in the evening will be a remarkable experience, with the safari lasting nearly 3.5 hours.

Visit Kandy Sacred City

Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic - Kandy is one of the most scenic cities in Sri Lanka, nestled among hills. It is the capital of the Central Province. Kandy is very famous among tourists for three main reasons: it is home to the sacred tooth relic of the Buddha (Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic; Dalada Maligawa), the Botanical Gardens (located in Peradeniya), and it holds a special place in festivities such as the Esala Perahera.

Kandy View Point - The most famous landmark of Kandy is its lake, located in the center of the city. Visit the Kandy Museum, and later, the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic of Buddha. The Kandy market is a bustling bazaar full of the sounds of lively trade. You will also experience the Gem museums and art and craft centers during your shopping.

Kandy Lake Club - Cultural Dance Show - This is a dance performance conducted by traditional dancers and drummers of Sri Lanka. They perform various types of dances that are native to different states of the country. This colorful dance performance allows you to enjoy the rhythm of Sri Lankan arts and culture.

Transfer to Nuwara Eliya

Ramboda Waterfall - Ramboda Falls is the 11th highest waterfall in Sri Lanka. It actually consists of three sections. You can get a good view of the middle section from the A5 highway, just above the bridge. This section is very small compared to the other parts. You can get a distant view of the top part from the main road, but not the complete view of the fall. You need to climb up to see the top part of Ramboda Falls, and there is a pathway just before the bridge. The climb may be difficult, but you will be rewarded with a great view of the top fall and the surrounding area.

Damro Labookellie Tea Centre and Tea Garden - During the tea plantation and factory visit, you will have a rare opportunity to experience the art of plucking the world-famous “Ceylon Tea” and see how these green tea leaves transform into black or brown particles and the process of grading tea into different categories.

Victoria Park of Nuwara Eliya - As its name suggests, Victoria Park is named after Queen Victoria. Established in 1897, the park is a pleasant space filled with colorful flowers that you won’t find in any other part of Sri Lanka! The park is also popular for bird-watching activities and is a favorite for children, who enjoy the miniature train ride. The museum built by Mahinda Dodampe Gamage, the Mayor of Nuwara Eliya, is located at the back entrance. Visit the museum to discover their collection of photographs and artifacts depicting the town’s bygone years.

Gregory Lake - Gregory Lake was built by Governor William Gregory between 1872 and 1877 to utilize the water from the Nanu Oya, which runs across the town. It is said that the lake was used for water sports and recreational activities during the British period. The trip to the park from Nuwara Eliya has left us with wonderful memories, such as this one.

Sita Temple - The Seetha Amman Temple Trust decided some two years ago to build a Sita temple at a spot believed to be the exact place where Sita was held captive by the demon-king Ravana in the Lanka of the epic, Ramayana. Myth has it that Sita, the wife of King Rama, was imprisoned in the Ashoka forests of the region. The temple trustees believe that this is no myth and that Sita’s imprisonment at this spot is a historical fact.

Visit Ella City and Enjoy Famous Scenic Train Ride in Sri Lanka

Ella - After breakfast, you will head to Ella, where you can visit Rawana Waterfalls and Rawana Cave. Situated close to the town of Ella, Rawana Waterfall is an incredible cascade that dates back to the period of Ramayana. This beautiful waterfall is located just near the Ella-Kataragama main road. Measuring 25 meters in height, this cascading waterfall is great to watch during the rainy season. It is said that King Ravana kidnapped Princess Sita and kept her hidden in a cave located behind the waterfall. Rawana Cave is believed to be one of several places where Ravana hid the Indian Princess Sita after abducting her.

Rawana Falls - The name Rawana refers to one of the most powerful kings in Sri Lanka, according to historical evidence. The Rawana Waterfall is one of the places associated with him. When you reach this place, you will be amazed by its beauty.

Little Adam’s Peak View Point - If you love walking through tea plantations, this hike will be enjoyable for you. At the top of the rock, you can see a beautiful 360-degree view, and it is one of the best places to experience the sunset.

Nine Arches Bridge - The Nine Arches Bridge was built during the British colonial period to transport tea and coffee to Colombo. The plan for this bridge was created by a local village farmer. Today, this place is very famous among local and foreign tourists because of its historical value and beauty.

The river is dotted with small islands, and the banks are covered with lush mangrove forests that are home to dozens of incredible animal species.

Highly recommended! - Sri Lanka is a lovely destination that has so much variety to offer and with people like Jerry, it makes the experience so much better. We had an amazing experience with Jerry, at no point in the trip did we feel that we had hired a guide instead it felt like an old friend was showing us around. He listened and catered to every need and ensured that we explored as much as we could. Highly recommended and God speed to you brother!

Beautiful experience - After having independently prepared an itinerary, we entrusted ourselves to this agency for our 15-day trip to Srilanka. Our driver-guide accompanied us throughout our journey, in an air-conditioned car, making us discover places that obviously we could neither know nor know. Dilshan was a splendid person, prepared in every way and made us love this land, the places, the people. I highly recommend it
