After a delicious breakfast, take to the road for a day steeped in Sri Lanka’s rich heritage. Begin with fearlessly climbing to the fifth-century Sigiriya fortress, which sits atop a rock that dramatically rises almost 200 metres above the rainforest. King Kashyapa built this citadel at the top of this giant boulder known as the ‘Lion Rock’. It used to be the innermost stronghold of a vast fortified city, but in the time it came to be abandoned and forgotten, covered by dense overgrowth until the British found it and began a painstaking archaeological exploration. Today, the remnants of this once thriving city offer a tantalising indication of what once stood here. Climb to the top and enjoy the breathtaking views over the paradisical landscape. In the afternoon, discover the well-preserved ruins of the ancient city of Polonnaruwa. Built about 1,000 years ago, it features a large artificial lake feeding a network of irrigation canals, the remains of a royal palace, and a number of temples and administrative buildings. Admire the Gal Viharaya with its four captivating statues of the Buddha, the Audience Hall, the Lotus Bath, and the statue of King Parakramabahu.

visit to the Golden Temple of Dambulla. Explore this 2,000-year-old sacred pilgrimage site carved deep inside a mountain. This awe-inspiring complex of five caves is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that features thousands of metres of painted walls and ceilings and contains more than 150 images of the Lord Buddha as well as a few of deities and Sri Lankan kings.

Continue to Matale to visit a spice and herb garden. Sri Lankan spices such as turmeric, nutmeg, cardamom, cinnamon, and lemongrass are considered among the best in the world. Witness a cookery demonstration and learn about the culinary and therapeutic values of these products.

Proceed to Kandy and visit the Peradeniya Royal Botanical Gardens, an enchanting historical place dating back to the 14th century. Passionate gardeners, the British gave them a structure and introduced a variety of plants and flowers, creating the blooming fields of orchids and fragrant spices you can see today. There’s even a tree planted by King George and Queen Mary in 1901. In the evening, enjoy a dramatic cultural show, which features 12 folk and traditional dances accompanied by ceremonial drums and a drum orchestra. And prepare for a sizzling fire walking performance that will have you on the edge of your seat!

Heading inland, the climate becomes cooler, the landscapes more verdant, and the countryside hillier.

Watch the colorful Kandyan dancers take to the air to the thrumming primal beat of the drums.

Kandy is a fantastic city famous for its beautiful lakeside location, framed by picturesque hills. Visit, after breakfast, the magnificent Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic and let its beauty amaze you. This stunning complex, the holiest of all for Sri Lankan Buddhists, was built in the 16th century only to house a relic of one of the Lord Buddha’s canine teeth. The tooth relic is ritually cleansed every week, by monks, and the scented waters they use are considered holy.

Contemplate in peace the magnificent architecture and experience the tranquillity of the atmosphere.
