With recorded history dating back over 2000 years and archaeological World Heritage Sites recognised by UNESCO, there are so many relics and artefacts to see and ancient kingdoms to explore as you travel into the heart of this beautiful county. Anuradhapura, the first ancient Royal capital is where your Sri Lanka Tour will begin with a 2 night stay at the luxury boutique Forest Rock Garden Hotel.
As the name suggests, this unique hotel is surrounded by lush green trees and is carefully designed to feel similar to the ancient, sacred city. From here, you are ideally located to embark upon your early morning safari to Sri Lanka’s largest National Park, Wilpattu, home to 31 species of mammals as well as an impressive variety of flora in huge expanses of forest.
Your first heritage tour will also depart from here with a guided tour of this remarkable city. Sitting in the heart of the cultural triangle of Sri Lanka, close to five UNESCO World Heritage Sites and built overlooking the 8th wonder of the world – the rock fortress of Sigiriya, Heritance Kandalama is ideally located for cultural exploration and is your 5* paradise hotel for the next 4 nights. With 3 stunning pools including an infinity pool which blends over the water of the Kandalama Lake, quality relaxation time is also guaranteed in this peaceful retreat.
With an overnight stay in Kandy at Cinnamon Citadel, you will be able to visit one of the world’s most sacred Buddhist shrines, The Temple of Tooth Relic as well as visit Dambulla Cave Temple, another UNESCO world heritage site before visiting an elephant sanctuary on-route to your final destination, Negombo.
Your last few leisure days spent at the 5* stylish Sri Lankan beach hotel, Jetwing Blue will enable you to absorb all that you have experienced on this cultural Sri Lankan holiday.
