Detailed Itinerary
Meet your private driver/guide at Bandaranaike International Airport (CMB). Drive to Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage to watch the elephants being fed and bathed. Continue to Kandy. In the evening, visit the sacred Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic followed by a traditional Kandyan cultural dance performance. Overnight in Kandy.
After breakfast, explore the scenic Peradeniya Botanical Gardens. Then drive to Sigiriya (approx. 2.5 hours). Climb the iconic Lion Rock Fortress and admire the ancient frescoes and panoramic views from the top. In the afternoon, visit the magnificent Dambulla Cave Temple with its golden Buddha statues and colorful murals. Overnight in the Sigiriya / Dambulla area.
Morning drive to Polonnaruwa (1 hour), Sri Lanka’s ancient medieval capital. Explore the well-preserved ruins including the Royal Palace, ancient stupas, and the impressive Gal Vihara rock carvings. In the afternoon, enjoy a thrilling jeep safari in Minneriya National Park, famous for its large gatherings of wild elephants. Return to your hotel. Overnight in Sigiriya / Dambulla area.
Enjoy a relaxed morning with an optional visit to a spice garden or a short village walk. Then begin your scenic drive back to Colombo (approx. 3.5–4 hours). Depending on your flight schedule, we can include a short stop at Negombo beach for relaxation or lunch. Final drop-off at your Colombo hotel or Bandaranaike International Airport (CMB).
