Tour Plan

Day 1 Arrival Colombo and transfer to Kandy with Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage

When we arrive at the Colombo International Airport where our representatives will be waiting to greet and transfer you to Kandy. While on our way to Kandy, we’ll make a quick stop at the Pinnawela Elephant Orphanage which has become one of Sri Lanka’s most popular attraction. Tourists and locals all love meeting the residents here and interact with the 65 captive elephants who were saved from many situations. Some of them were orphaned and abandoned since babies, others were elderly matriarchs who can’t survive in the wild anymore or adults that had suffered from unethical treatments while in captivity.
It is about 90km from Colombo and after you have fun playing with the elephants, we’ll head to Kandy to the hotel. We’ll check-in and let you rest for the night in Kandy.

Day 2 Day Excursion to Sigiriya with Dambulla Caves

Enjoy your breakfast at the hotel before we head out on a full-day excursion to Sigiraya.
We’ll visit Sigiraya Rock which is popularly known for having the shape of a lion, hence its name Sigiraya. Sigiraya means Lion Rock in Sinhala and it’s earned the UNESCO World Heritage title since 1982. The Chulavamsa, which is a historical record of Sri Lankan monarchs written in Pali, has an account about this rock, noting that it was selected by King Kasyapa as his capital city. We’ll take a walk inside the rock fortress, which has been repurposed as a museum where many paintings of monarchs and royal family members are put on display.
We continue driving to visit Dambulla Golden Rock Temple, Sri Lanka’s most well-preserved, complex cave temple. The pilgrimage site is over 22 centuries old and dates back to the 1st century BC. While you explore this historical site, observe the colorful frescoes of Buddhist mythologies on the cave ceiling. Take a look at the largest Buddha statues collection in a place.
We’ll drive back to your Kandy hotel in the evening and spend the night there.

Day 3 Transfer from Kandy to Colombo

Enjoy your breakfast in Kandy before we leave the city. We’ll head to Colombo after check-out and reach the hotel in 3-4 hours. We’ll check-in on arrival and let you rest. Spend the night in Colombo.

Day 4 Galle and Bentota Day-Tour

Breakfast at hotel. This is a Galle and Bentota Day Tour that includes pick-up from your hotel. The Boat Safari at Madu River is a major attraction that will show you the view of the wide Madu Ganga. It’s a healing journey through the mangrove forest and observe the biodiversity of Madu River that includes 19 endemic species. There are 64 islands and is such an attractive destination for nature lovers and bird watchers. Catch sights of the rare bird species and reptiles that made their home here. There are also traditional fishermen here who make a living through Stilt Fishing. It is a method that uses a crossbar with a vertical pole attached to the sea floor and they wait by the crossbar for the fish to bite.
Then visit the Kosgoda Sea Turtle Conservation Project for turtle hatching. Since 1981, the area has become one of the best locations to find turtles laying their eggs and it was established by the Wildlife Protection Society. The project will take in newborn turtles and raise them in big tanks with nutritional food and clean environment for just a few days. They’ll then be released into the wild at night from the safest area to ensure survivability.
The Conservation generally has five species they take care of and visitors will learn all about these gorgeous turtles that are now endangered. They are also allowed to interact with the turtles and hold them in their palms and check out the babies in their tanks.
The Galle Fort is the highlight of the tour, a historical structure that was constructed during the Dutch colonial era. The Fort was finished in 1663 and stood as a fortress that’s well-known for the European architecture mixed with Sri Lankan influence. It earned the World Heritage Site title in 1988.
