5 Days – 4 Night

01 Day

At Bandaranayake International Airport, our chauffeur will meet and greet you in English. Then proceed to Polonnaruwa securely. First, visit the archaeological site of Polonnaruwa. From the 11th to the 13th centuries, Polonnaruwa served as the country`s capital. Polonnaruwa, Sri Lanka, is regarded as one of the world`s best preserved old cities. Polonnaruwa, located around 140 kilometers from Kandy, was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its richness of historic remnants. Despite being known as Sri Lanka`s second ancient capital, Polonnaruwa is a superbly maintained city with rich archaeological monuments and natural beauty. Polonnaruwa, in Sri Lanka`s North Central Province, features a historic city, a neighboring "old town," and a "new town" around 6 kilometers away. The archaeological sites are compactly laid out and relatively accessible, and tours can be made on foot or, more commonly, by bike.

Next, we visit Minneria or Kaudulla National Park, which is nearby. Wildlife safaris can be enjoyed at Minneriya and Kaudulla National Parks. Minneriya National Park is well-known for its annual `elephant gathering,` which occurs between August and September each year. During the dry season, 200–300 elephants congregate around the Minneriya reservoir, which has lush vegetation. This is a beautiful experience in which you may witness elephants feeding and bathing while socializing with the rest of the herd. Kaudulla is around 40 minutes from Minneriya and is home to a huge population of Sri Lankan elephants. From August through September, large herds of elephants congregate at water holes near Kaudulla, similar to Minneriya. The park also has endemic mammals, reptiles, and amphibians, such as the Sri Lankan sloth bear, albino axis deer, and the elusive Sri Lankan leopard. Because of the 160 species found here, Kaudulla has been designated an Important Bird Area.

Finally, you may visit an Ayurvedic treatment spa center to relax yourself. At the Ayurvedic Spa, soothing luxury therapies pamper your mind, body, and soul. Traditional Ayurvedic therapies, passed down through thousands of years in Sri Lanka, are administered by trained Ayurvedic therapists and tailored to your specific physical health needs. The fundamental principles of Ayurveda concern the natural approach to living a healthy existence.

Transfer to a hotel in Habarana to spend the night.

02 Day

We should leave after breakfast to travel through Polonnaruwa to Sigiriya. First, step up Sigiriya Rock Fortress and climb "Lion Rock," one of the Seven Wonders of the World. This fortified garden city of Sigiriya rock fortress is an exceptional master piece of ancient urban planning, landscape and architecture, construction technology, exceptional hydraulic engineering and management, and ancient fine art with a unique harmony between nature and human imagination, with all these living examples proving that it was a well-planned city and palace in the 5th century AD. Sigiriya Rock Castle is known as one of the best preserved 1st millennium surviving ancient urban sites in Asia, or simply as a living museum.

On the way, you may get a village tour experience. Village Tour Sri Lanka allows you to experience traditional Sri Lanka in its entirety. Spend time with the residents to learn about village life. Participate in a variety of village activities, such as an ox cart ride, a catamaran ride, and a walk around the fields. Learn how to make traditional Sri Lankan cuisine. You will conclude with a sumptuous buffet lunch provided in traditional Sri Lankan style. This is your authentic Sri Lankan vacation experience.

Overnight stay at Sigiriya

03 Day

We should leave after breakfast to travel through Sigiriya to Kandy. While traveling, you can see the Dambulla cave temple. Dambulla Temple has five caverns (shrine rooms). All of these caverns are filled with statues of Buddha and other figures from Buddhist history. These caverns include 150 Buddha pictures. The caverns all have sculptures and paintings from various epochs of Sinhalese sculpture and painting. Some believe Dambulla’ s early paintings date from the 8th century A.C. However, due to over painting, this cannot be proven. Nonetheless, this location is a treasure trove of decorative motifs, the patterns of which are similar to those of Sigiriya.

After that, you visit Matale Spice and Herbal Garden. The Matale spice gardens, located just 25 kilometers from Kandy`s hill capital, are among the greatest on the island. You`ll be introduced to many spices and shown how some of them are farmed and prepared. Visitors are welcome to meander through the gardens and learn about nutmeg, pepper vines, clove trees, curry, cinnamon, and the rare cardamom, a relative of ginger. It grows in the shade of high jungle trees and can only be harvested by hand. Visitors can purchase spices, traditional cures, and cosmetics; sample a herbal brew; and, in some cases, enjoy the full flavors of Sri Lankan spices over lunch or an Ayurveda massage based on natural garden products.

Visit the Kandy cultural dancing performance and Temple of the Tooth Relic (Dalada Malaigawa), a World Heritage Site, after that. A Kandyan cultural show will leave you speechless with its amazing dance, acrobatics, costumes, and music. This cultural display, held in Kandy town, depicts several styles of Kandyan dancing that were previously indigenous to the area but have since spread to other parts of the island. The Sri Dalada Maligawa (or Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic) is a Buddhist temple that houses Lord Buddha`s tooth relic. It is located within the royal palace complex of the ancient Kingdom of Kandy. Kandy was the last great capital of Sri Lanka`s ancient monarchs, and the presence of the temple is one of the main reasons why the city was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Overnight Stay Kandy.

04 Day

We should leave after breakfast to travel through Kandy to Nuwara Eliya. While traveling, you can see the Royal Botanical Garden. The Royal Botanical Gardens in Peradeniya are Sri Lanka`s oldest formal gardens. Every year, roughly 2 million local and foreign visitors visit the Royal Botanic Gardens Peradeniya. The park contains about 4000 plant species, including orchids, spices, medicinal herbs, and palm trees, and is known for its orchid collection and long, palm-framed pathways.

Next visit to the tea factory and museum The Ceylon Tea Museum features displays on early Sri Lankan tea traders such as James Taylor, a Scottish tea farmer who introduced tea to Ceylon, and Thomas Lipton, another Scotsman who produced Ceylon tea and exported it to Western markets beginning in 1890. The museum has four storeys, including ancient tea-processing apparatus like 19th-century generators, rollers, dryers, fermentation tables, and sorting machines on the ground and second floors. The first floor houses a library and an auditorium with audio and video presentations, and the third floor houses a tea shop.

Finally, we visit the Nuwaraeliya city tour to see more lovely scenery. The city trip will begin with a journey to Nuwara Eliya. You will first see the historic Nuwara Eliya Golf Club, one of Asia`s oldest golf clubs, from the outside before proceeding to town. When you get into town, you will be taken to one of Sri Lanka`s oldest post offices. A traditional Tudor-style colonial structure with a red brick facade Victoria Park is a lovely park named after Queen Victoria`s memorial. Take the time to go around the park and soak in the atmosphere and amazing sights of its landscapes, which include beautiful trees and grass. Then you`ll proceed to Lake Gregory, a man-made masterpiece from colonial times. It was originally developed for electricity but is currently utilized for amusement and relaxation. This lovely lake is surrounded by amazing views of distant mountains.

Overnight stay Nuwaraeliya

05 Day

We leave the hotel after breakfast. While traveling, you can see a tea plantation and a tea factory. You can also experience the Sri Lankan No. 01 tea cup from the Tea Factory. Sri Lanka has a long history of tea tourism, and practically all tea factories provide some kind of tour. The tours can be completed while traveling through the tea country and don`t take very long. Normally, when visiting a tea factory, one would first visit the plantation to learn about the cultivation of tea before going to the factory to see the old equipment that was used to wither, roll, and dry the tea before the industrial revolution. After the tour, there is typically some time for a tea tasting, sometimes of just one kind of tea but more often of the numerous specialties of that particular factory.

Then, after seeing the Ramboda waterfall, there are two stairs and more than one waterfall at Ramboda. There is another waterfall on the opposite side of Ramboda Place`s main road. The majority of tourists ignore the waterfall, visit the upside-down waterfall, and then go. Rivers frequently generate tributaries or waterfalls when they travel over rocky terrain or down mountains. When water pours down cliffs and rocks, it can occasionally split into two branches of the same river, creating twin waterfalls that are quite close to one another. It is unusual for the tributaries to come together after the waterfalls have formed a Y shape.

Goodbyes on the last day are like the final brushstrokes on a masterpiece, each one adding depth and meaning to the canvas of your travel experience.
