After an ancient prince killed his father to claim the throne, he was forced to flee to his pleasure palace and convert it into a fortress to guard against his opposition. The spectacular citadel of Sigiriya built on a giant rock rises sheer and impregnable out of the plains below. This remarkable 5th century archaeological site is made unforgettable by its dramatic setting. A moat, rampart, extensive gardens

In the city of Dambulla lies a hub which has been treasured by many kings since the 1st century B.C.

Enjoy a visit to the temple of the tooth relic and enjoy a tour of the beautiful Kandy town.
Day 4 - Nuwara Eliya
Enjoy a tour to Nuwara Eliya and visit a Tea Plantation.
Ceylon tea is perhaps the most well-known and famous tea in the world. As the most important export of Sri Lanka, we'll take you behind the scenes of this world-renowned product. You'll meet the people who pick it, learn about their lives, walk through the tea plantations, visit a processing factory, and enjoy a cup straight from where it's made.
Misty steep roads, twisting through lush green blankets of tea bushes in a cool climate, remind visitors that they are within the range of the renowned British colonial retreat, Nuwara Eliya.

Galle is a town rich in history and in fact, was the centre of Dutch rule in the 17th century. The majestic Galle Fort bears ample testimony to that fact. The city of Galle is one of the best-preserved colonial-era cities in Southeast Asia and has been declared a World Heritage City.
