Tour Plan

Day 1: Arrive and discover the Temples of Dambulla & Sigiriya
Welcome to Sri Lanka! Your first day will be spent exploring the magnificent UNESCO World Heritage Site of Dambulla. The sacred cave temple complex dates back to the 1st century BCE and houses some of the country's most important religious artefacts. You will get to wander through a series of caves and marvel at the gilded interiors, dramatic murals, and an incredible collection of holy statues, including a 47-foot (14-meter) reclining golden Buddha. The temple's rocky clifftops also offer sweeping views across the surrounding forests and countryside. In the afternoon, you will make a short drive north to Sigiriya, where you will check in to your hotel for the night.

Day 2: Visit Sigiriya Rock Fortress & Minneriya National Park
In the morning After breakfast, you will be exploring the ancient city of Sigiriya, which is a rocky monolith rising high out of the lush jungle. It is home to the remains of an ancient fortress built in the late 5th century CE. The name "Sigiriya" translates to "Lion Rock", which refers to the way visitors traditionally began their final ascent to the top of the monument, passing through the open jaws and throat of a lion. However, the only remains of this lion figure today are the gigantic paws sculpted into the side of the rock. After lunch, you can head to Minneriya National Park, which is a vast preserve of forest and grasslands, located between Habarana and Polonnaruwa. The park is home to elephants, leopards, sambar deer, and langur monkeys. The great Minneriya Tank reservoir, created by the Anuradhapura civilization over 1800 years ago, is at the heart of the park and its peaceful shores are the perfect place to observe herds of elephants and flocks of storks.

Day 3: Tour the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic

Located between three mountain ranges, Kandy is  known as the gateway to Sri Lanka's Hill Country. In the morning, you can visit one of the traditional  villages on the city's outskirts to learn the art of fan-making from local artisans. The Sesath, hand woven fans and sunshades, are a symbol of prosperity and a vibrant relic of Sri Lanka's royal history.  In the afternoon, you can explore Kandy's historic Royal Palace. This palace features shrines, temples,  and gardens, along with Sri Dalada Maligawa, the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic.

    As a family of four, we came to Sri Lanka for 7 days tour. We chose to travel rather than spend that time on the beach (although we’ve reserved some time for that too…). We needed everything organized for us from the arrival to departure in the Colombo airport. Our Polish friend recommended Ceylon Classic Tours, so we asked them to organize everything. The trip was pretty long. We have visited Sigiriya, then Kandy, Nuwara Eliya later Yala, Mirissa, then Galle and back to Negombo, to the airport. We had the best driver and very nice hotels. There was time for sightseeing as well as for swimming in the pools and ocean. Some hotels even exceeded our expectations. I can highly recommend their services if you are thinking about visiting Sri Lanka.
