Discover Sri Lanka’s cultural heritage and wildlife on a comfortable private day tour from Kandy. Travel in a luxury air-conditioned car with a professional chauffeur-guide and explore two of the island’s most iconic attractions in one well-planned experience.
Your journey begins with hotel pickup in Kandy, followed by a scenic drive through rural villages and lush landscapes. Arrive at the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Sigiriya Rock Fortress, one of Sri Lanka’s most remarkable ancient landmarks. Explore the beautifully designed water gardens, climb past the famous frescoes and Mirror Wall, and reach the summit to see the ruins of King Kashyapa’s royal palace with sweeping panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. You may climb at your own pace and take time to enjoy the site.
After the Sigiriya visit, stop for lunch at a selected local or hotel restaurant (optional, at your own expense). Continue in comfort to Minneriya National Park, famous for its large population of wild Asian elephants and rich biodiversity.
In the afternoon, enjoy a guided 4x4 jeep safari led by an experienced local driver. The park is home to elephants, deer, monkeys, birds, and other wildlife, all observed in their natural environment while respecting national park regulations.
At the end of the safari, relax on the return journey to Kandy, where you will be dropped off at your hotel in the evening. This private tour is ideal for travelers seeking a comfortable, flexible, and personalized experience without crowds.
