On this journey discover Sri Lanka's cultural triangle, exploring the world heritage sites of Polonnaruwa and Anuradhapura - the ancient capitals of Sri Lanka - the rock fortress of Sigiriya and the cave monastery complex at Dambulla. In the centre of the country is the beautiful lakeside town of Kandy, the last capital of the Sinhala kings and site of the famous Temple of the Tooth Relic. Continue with a visit to the old colonial hill station of Nuwara Eliya which is almost always wreathed in dawn mist before ending beside the Indian Ocean in beautiful Wadduwa.

Itinerary Highlights
Anuradhapura, one of the ancient capitals of Sri Lanka, is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and famous for its well-preserved ruins.
The city of Kandy is the capital of the hill country, lying amongst the slopes of the Kandy plateau. It is home to the Temple of the Tooth relic, one of the most sacred sites of worship for Buddhists.
Often shrouded in mist, Nuwara Eliya in the Central Province has a temperate, cool climate providing the optimum conditions for growing tea and was once a summer retreat during British rule.
