Your Destinations

Sri Lanka is a lush, tropical island paradise, known to ancient Greek mariners as Taprobane. Arab traders called it Serendib – hence the word "serendipity", meaning discovery by happy accident. It was famously described by Marco Polo as "undoubtedly the finest island of its size in the world". With fabulously flavoursome food and a vast array of culturally rich experiences to delve into, Sri Lanka promises to be one of your best-loved travel destinations. 

This is an environmentally diverse country, with
 nine World Heritage Sites (the oldest dating back to the 3rd Century BC), 86 species of mammals (including elephants and leopards), more than 400 bird species, a colorful array of flowering plants and trees, a Hill Country famous for tea, 14 National Parks and an Indian Ocean coastline boasting palm-fringed and sandy tropical beaches.

After breakfast, you will transfer to Dambulla - a hub which has been treasured by many kings since the 1st century B.C. Today, an icon in the face of Sri Lanka Dambulla Rock Temple houses some of the most unique drawings in magnificently constructed five cave temples flanking the golden temple of Dambulla. The walls of the first are covered with gold leaf, which earned the name "the golden rock". In these five "caves" are hundreds of Buddha statues, as well as frescoes, which cover about 1,800 square metres, depicting effigies or episodes of Buddha's life.

You will then continue to Matale, the gateway to the old capital of Kandy, and visit a spice garden. Long before tea, Sri Lanka was famous for its spices and especially for its cinnamon trees that gave its name to one of Colombo's beautiful neighborhoods: the Cinnamon Gardens. Resume your journey and arrive in Kandy in the afternoon. At the end of the day, you will attend a Kandyan traditional dance show. Dinner & overnight stay at your hotel.
Day 4: Kandy

Nuwara Eliya is the former British governor's summer residence, located at 1900 metres above sea level.

This  National Park  was created to provide a sanctuary for wild animals displaced by the construction of the Udawalawe Reservoir on the Walawe River. The reserve covers 30,821 hectares of land area and was established on 30 June 1972. Before the designation of the National Park, the area was used for shifting cultivation (chena farming). The farmers were gradually removed once the  National Park  was declared. Udawalawe is an important habitat for water birds and Sri Lankan elephants. It is a popular tourist destination and the third most visited park in the country.  After a safari in Udawalawe, proceed to Yala via Tissamaharama. 
In the afternoon, you will visit the famous Yala National Park. Yala is the most visited National Park and the second largest in Sri Lanka, bordering to the Indian Ocean. The park consists of five blocks, two of which are now open to the public, as well as adjacent parks. The park is best known for its diversity of wildlife among which includes the highest density of leopards in the world. The elephant is undoubtedly the best-known attraction at Yala, seen in small & large herds.

Herds of spotted deer are seen all over the park. Both the pinkish rhesus monkeys and the grey-faced Langur monkey, live and play on the treetops and the ground below. Wild buffalo & wild boar could give a good surprise & the sight of a leopard sunning itself or drinking water at a waterhole could be a memorable experience. The peacock is easily the most famous of the birds at Yala. The painted stork, many varieties of heron, the spoonbill, the bee-eater, parakeets, and kingfisher & woodpecker are some of the birds can be seen in the park. After the safari, you will return to the hotel. Dinner & overnight stay at the hotel.

The Kandy Esala Perahera (the Esala procession of Kandy) also known as The Festival of the Tooth is a grand festival celebrated with elegant costumes and is held in July and August in Kandy, Sri Lanka. This historical procession is held annually to pay homage to the Sacred Tooth Relic of Lord Buddha, which is housed at the Sri Dalada Maligawa in Kandy. A unique symbol of Sri Lanka, the procession consists of many traditional local dances such as fire-dances, whip-dances, Kandyan dances and various other cultural dances, in addition to the elephants who are usually adorned with lavish garments.
