Tour Plan

1
Day 1: Explore "Little Rome" in Negombo
Welcome to Sri Lanka! Your journey will begin in Negombo, which is known as “Little Rome” due to its strong Catholic influence. The town has gone through Dutch, Portuguese, and British colonial rule, and the remnants of those cultures exist today. As you walk past colonial architecture and serene canals, the city's intriguing past will reveal itself to you. You'll eventually reach a lagoon that is teeming with marine life, where local fishermen have been catching lobsters, crabs, and prawns for centuries. Take a leisurely stroll on the beach, and then head to the lively fish market before taking a break for dinner.

Day 2: Discover the Ancient Rock Fortress of Sigiriya
Start your day with a delicious breakfast at your hotel and then head over to the ancient rock fortress of Sigiriya, which was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1982. Some have even named it the eighth wonder of the world. The name Sigiriya means "Lion Rock" in English, and it is believed that visitors used to enter the monument by passing through the open jaws and throat of a lion. Unfortunately, the only remains of this lion figure today are the huge paws sculpted into the rock. Rising high above the jungle, the fortress is a magnificent sight to behold.

Day 3: Explore Temples in Dambulla & Kandy
After having breakfast, you can continue your journey to Dambulla. This town is known for its Cave  Temple, which is the largest and best-preserved cave temple complex in Sri Lanka. The temple  features impressive mural paintings and 157 statues, including a massive Buddha monument. It is not  only a sacred pilgrimage site but also a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with a history dating back to the  first century BCE when King Valagambahu took refuge here. Visiting this place is definitely worth it,  not just for the cave temple, but also for the beautiful view over the surrounding countryside.  Next, you can proceed to Kandy, which is strategically located between three mountain ranges and is  home to the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic (Sri Dalada Maligawa), another UNESCO World  Heritage Site. The impressive temple complex, dating back to the 16th century, is made up of  numerous buildings decorated with paintings and carvings depicting Buddha. As the name suggests,  the temple houses an important relic - the tooth of the Buddha, which is carefully guarded by  security day and night.
