Last ruled by King Sri Wickrama Rajasinghe – before it was brought under British rule in 1815, Kandy – the World Heritage Site & last royal capital of Sri Lankan kings – crafts an array of culture, history, and heritage in the minds of visitors across the globe. This beautiful city hosts the famous Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic and its paradisiacal palaces and gardens.

MATALE HERBAL & SPICE GRADEN: An agricultural zone in the Central Province, Matale seldom drops off the maps due to its remarkable contribution through flagship crops of the island extending from tea, rubber & vegetables to spices. Spearheading the Rebellion back in 1848, Matale today takes immense pride in its story woven around spices.

Rising with the decline of Anuradhapura, the city of Polonnaruwa – the medieval capital & crown jewel of King Parakramabahu I – remains superior proof of ancient culture & heritage blended with religious beliefs. Walk across its scattered walls of the World Heritage Site – blessed by stupas, resting Buddha statues, irrigation canals, and fantastically carved Hindu sculptures – while observing the relic house – Watadage – which boasts beautiful stone carvings. Take a close glance and you will realize a subtle Hindu influence on architecture and statues found in Polonnaruwa. Or sit by the side of Galviharaya and observe the absolute beauty gushing out of every bend of its huge Buddhist statues. Nissankamalla Council Chamber is, however, a head-spinning beauty to just sit back and observe with its swaying pillars reminding the aesthetics of a powerful kingdom that rests beside Parakrama Samudraya – a sea of Parakramabahu & a masterpiece of irrigation!

Next, enjoy a game drive at Minneriya National Park.

Minneriya Park is a national park in the North Central Province of Sri Lanka. The park is a dry season feeding ground for the elephant population. Sri Lankan Leopard and Sloth bear which are rare and endangered species also inhabit this area. The park was declared a wildlife sanctuary to protect the watershed of the Minneriya tank and the wildlife of the surrounding area. The tank is historically important for the country as it was built by King Mahasen in the 3rd century AD.

Overnight at the hotel.

Day 5 : SIGIRIYA - DAMBULLA - MATALE - KANDY

Today after breakfast you’ll head to the picturesque hillside city of Kandy, the second-largest city in Sri Lanka - around 3.5 hours' drive.

En route visit Dambulla Cave Temple, the journey takes approximately  25-30 minutes.

Dambulla Cave Temple is a vast isolated rock mass, and it was here that King Valagambahu took refuge in the 01st century B.C. when fleeing from his enemies. He later turned the caves into a rock temple. The Golden Temple of Dambulla has been the centre of pilgrimage for Buddhists and Hindus for 22 centuries. It is Sri Lanka’s most popular historic site. The Cave monastery, home to Buddhist monks is covered with exquisite 2,000-year-old murals depicting the life and times of the Lord Buddha. The shrines also house a collection of 157 statues of Buddha in various sizes and poses, including a 15-metre-long reclining Buddha and vividly coloured frescoes on the walls and ceiling, making this the largest antique painted surface in the world. To reach Dambulla’s rock temples, pilgrims and tourists alike must climb barefoot up the sloping ground and several series of stairs almost to the summit, 100 metres above the plain. From here, the strikingly distinctive rock fortress of Sigiriya is visible, but the five caves or shrine rooms of Dambulla lie just ahead. All these house multiple images of the Lord Buddha, either lying, standing, or seated. The astonishing frescoes and the sheer size and antiquity of the caves convinced UNESCO that Dambulla should be preserved as a World Heritage Site.

On completion proceed to Matale, the journey takes approximately 1-2 hours. 

En-route visit Spice Garden

Sri Lanka has always been renowned for its spices. Over 15 different spices call Sri Lanka home and many of them are traded in the international spice market. Cinnamon especially is endemic to Sri Lanka, and the highest quality ‘true cinnamon’ can be obtained here. All offer free tours of their gardens with an English-speaking guide who can explain the merits and health properties of herbs, spices and plants including cocoa, vanilla, cinnamon, cloves, coriander, coffee, nutmeg, pepper, cardamom, aloe vera, iriweriya and the henna plant. Not all spices are grown in a single garden, of course, since various climates and soil types are necessary for the cultivation of the different spices. The gardens introduce you to the different spices in Sri Lanka and their uses.

Afterwards, journey onward to Kandy, two hours away.

Kandy is the English name for the city of Maha Nuvara (Senkadagalapura) in the centre of Sri Lanka. It was the last capital of the ancient kings' era of Sri Lanka. The city lies amid hills in the Kandy plateau.

On arrival check in to the hotel. Remaining time at your leisure for rest & relaxation.

The golden-roofed Temple of the Sacred Tooth houses Sri Lanka’s most important Buddhist relic – a tooth of the Buddha. The entire temple complex, from peaked tiled roofs to white walls with large airy windows, is built using classical Kandyan architecture.

These classical dance forms are associated with the performance of various rituals and ceremonies which are centuries old and are based on the folk religion and folk beliefs going back to times before the advent and acceptance of Buddhism by the Sinhalese people in the third century B.C. These rituals and ceremonies reflect the values, beliefs, and customs of the agricultural civilization of Sri Lanka.

On completion return to the hotel. Remainder of the time at your leisure or you may chose to enjoy our optional Cooking demonstration class at Thotupala Residency.

One Review to “Explore Sri Lanka”

    “Fascinating tour of Sri Lanka.”

    My Sri Lanka holiday was fascinating. A truly great holiday.

    The driver, Jerome, was superb. Knowledgeable and a safe, competent driver he showed me the wonders of this marvellous country. The sight seeing was terrific. Wildlife, ancient ruins and fabulous scenery. Plains, mountains and lovely Welligama on the beach.

    Most of the hotels were great. It was disappointing that on my first 2 nights MPS Resort in Dambullah had overbooked and I was shuffled off to a very so so place next door. My 3rd night was much better with a nice room and lovely views.

    I was a little surprised that some of the hotels did not have a drinks licence. A cold beer after a long, thrilling day would have been nice!

    The Magpie in Sinharaja was not very good, but we were in the jungle, so it didn’t matter.

    I could make some other minor criticisms, but that would be churlish; overall it was a fantastic holiday. I will return to Sri Lanka one day, and would be happy for you to make the arrangements when I do.

    Thank you for a brilliant holiday.
