From Kandy: Polonnaruwa Transfer with Sightseeing & Safari

Enjoy a private transfer from Kandy to Polonnaruwa with sightseeing stops. Visit the Dambulla Cave Temple, climb Sigiriya Rock, and opt for a 4x4 jeep safari to see wild elephants.
Begin your journey with a convenient pickup from your hotel in Kandy. Travel in comfort as your driver loads your luggage into the vehicle.

Make your first stop at Matale's main Hindu temple, the Sri Muthumari Amman Kovil. Admire the temple’s brightly colored gopuram (tower) featuring hundreds of sculpted deities.

Next, visit Nalanda Gedige, an ancient 8th–10th century stone structure located near the geographical center of Sri Lanka. Discover its rare blend of Hindu Tantric and Buddhist architectural styles.

Continue to the Dambulla Cave Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Explore the five cave sanctuaries built into a massive rock outcrop, featuring over 150 Buddha statues, ancient royal statues, and intricate ceiling frescoes.

Then, choose between Sigiriya Rock Fortress or Pidurangala Rock. Ascend the iconic 5th-century rock fortress to view the ancient water gardens, frescoes, mirror wall, and summit ruins. Alternatively, hike up Pidurangala for a panoramic 360-degree viewpoint directly overlooking Sigiriya Rock.

Stop at a local restaurant near Habarana or Sigiriya to enjoy an authentic Sri Lankan rice and curry buffet.

(Optional) In the afternoon, opt for a 4x4 jeep safari to explore Minneriya National Park, Kaudulla National Park, or Hurulu Eco Park (chosen based on seasonal wild elephant herd movements).

Finally, enjoy a scenic drive to Polonnaruwa and a direct drop-off with full luggage assistance at your hotel or resort.
