Cave Temple Dambulla
Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Dambulla Cave Temple—also known as the Golden Temple of Dambulla—is Sri Lanka’s largest and best-preserved cave temple complex. Perched 160 meters above the plains, it houses over 80 caves adorned with ancient Buddhist murals and statues. Located just 72 km north of Kandy, this sacred site stands as a true marvel of heritage and devotion.
Minneriya National Park
Nestled in Sri Lanka’s North Central Province, Minneriya National Park is renowned for its seasonal wildlife spectacle—“The Gathering.” Each year, especially in September and October, over 300 majestic elephants congregate near the Minneriya Tank, offering an unforgettable experience. While the forest teems with diverse fauna, this iconic elephant gathering remains its most breathtaking highlight.
Start your day early with a climb up the iconic Sigiriya Rock Fortress, timed perfectly to avoid the midday heat and capture stunning sunrise views—ideal for photography enthusiasts. Return to the hotel for a hearty breakfast before heading to Kandy. Along the way, explore the ancient Nalanda Gedige Temple, stroll through the Matale Spice Garden (visit only), and stop by a Gem Museum and Workshop for a glimpse into Sri Lanka’s sparkling heritage. Visit a vibrant Hindu temple, enjoy a Kandy city tour, and in the evening, witness the graceful Kandyan Cultural Dance Performance, followed by a visit to the sacred Temple of the Tooth Relic (Sri Dalada Maligawa).
Spice Garden, Matale
Step into a fragrant world at the Spice and Herbal Garden, where nature’s pharmacy comes alive. Discover the ancient healing properties of spices and herbs, long treasured by the Pharaohs and Chinese Dynasties. Learn how these natural remedies are used in Ayurvedic treatments and how you can incorporate them into your everyday wellness routine.
Sigiriya Rock Fortress
Often hailed as the Eighth Wonder of the World, Sigiriya rises dramatically 600 feet from the surrounding jungle. This ancient royal citadel, once home to King Kasyapa, features elaborate frescoes, water gardens, and remarkable engineering. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Sigiriya remains one of Asia’s best-preserved and most breathtaking historical sites.
Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic (Sri Dalada Maligawa), Kandy
Located in the heart of Kandy, this revered Buddhist temple safeguards the tooth relic of Lord Buddha, a symbol of sovereignty and spiritual power in Sri Lanka. Nestled within the royal palace complex of the last Sinhalese kingdom, the temple plays a significant role in both religious and cultural heritage. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it continues to draw pilgrims and travelers from around the globe.
After breakfast, begin your day with a scenic visit to the Peradeniya Royal Botanical Gardens, located just outside Kandy. Renowned for its lush landscapes and diverse collection of over 4,000 plant species—including orchids, medicinal plants, and towering palm avenues—this garden is a haven for nature lovers.
Next, embark on a picturesque journey to Nuwara Eliya, often referred to as “Little England” for its cool climate and colonial charm. En route, pause to admire the stunning Ramboda Falls, a cascading waterfall set amidst misty hills.
Continue your drive through verdant landscapes of rolling hills blanketed with tea plantations, where you’ll stop to explore a working tea factory. Witness the age-old process of Ceylon tea production—from plucking to packaging—and enjoy a fresh cup straight from the source.
Upon arrival in Nuwara Eliya, enjoy a guided city tour, soaking in the charming ambiance of this highland town, complete with Tudor-style buildings, colorful gardens, and the peaceful shores of Gregory Lake.
