Giant Buddhas & Ancient Sigiriya

Your exploration of Sri Lanka begins in the cultural north and ends on the island’s famous tropical coast with a series of unforgettable sights and adventures sandwiched in between. First stop is a nature walk and boat ride with local fishermen followed by a visit to the ancient ruins and giant Buddha statues at Polonnaruwa. Nearby lies distinctive Sigiriya Rock, where a climb to the top is rewarded with magnificent views of the lush countryside, later explored on an easy village to village bike ride.

Kandy, Jungle Camp & Beach

Kandy is home to the holiest Buddhist shrine - the Temple of the Tooth. You’ll explore the surrounding hills and tea country of Sri Lanka by local train. Then you can enjoy a walk to World’s End at Horton Plains,before descending to Yala National Park for a wildlife safari. Finally there is time for some relaxation by the Indian Ocean on the superb palm-fringed beaches Sri Lanka has to offer. This trip is ideal for solo travellers and groups.
