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.
