Luxury Adventure Through Sri Lanka’s Heritage

After breakfast you travel to Sigiriya, the great rock fortress rising above the jungle. You climb through old gardens, stone steps, and painted frescoes until the view opens across the plains. Later you continue to Polonnaruwa, an ancient royal capital filled with statues, temples, and ruins scattered through the forest. You return to Thirappane for dinner and rest.

After breakfast you drive toward Kandy. On the way you stop at the Dambulla Cave Temple where painted walls and carved Buddhas fill five ancient caves. You continue to Kandy, the last royal capital of the island. The lake, markets, and old streets carry a calm charm. You visit the Temple of the Sacred Tooth, a deeply spiritual place where devotees offer flowers and light small oil lamps. Dinner and overnight stay in Kandy.

After breakfast you travel south toward Yala. On the way you visit Ravana Falls, where water rushes down the rocks depending on the season. By afternoon you arrive at Yala and settle into your lodge. Later you join a jeep safari through the national park where elephants, deer, crocodiles, and many birds live freely. With patience you may spot a leopard resting on a rock or walking through the grass. Dinner and rest at Chena Huts.

Morning brings you west along the coast. In Weligama you pause to watch the stilt fishermen balanced above the water on wooden poles. You continue to Galle, walking through the old Dutch fort where narrow streets, ocean views, and colonial buildings give the town its character. By afternoon you reach Colombo for a city tour before settling into Uga Residence, a calm boutique hotel set in a restored 19th-century mansion. Dinner and rest.
