Day 1: Colombo to Anuradhapura

Begin your journey with a pickup from Colombo and head to your hotel in Anuradhapura. Stop along the way for a safari at Wilpattu National Park. Spend the night in Anuradhapura.

Day 2: Anuradhapura to Sigiriya

After breakfast, explore the ancient city of Anuradhapura, the oldest in Sri Lanka. Visit Buddhist temples, stupas, palaces, gardens, and other remarkable structures. See the 8 most sacred Buddhist sites in the city, known as "Atamasthana": Jaya Sri Maha Bodhiya, Ruwanwelisaya, Thuparamaya, Lovamahapaya, Abhayagiri Dagaba, Jetavanarama, Mirisaveti Stupa, and Lankarama. Later, settle in for a good night's sleep at your hotel in Sigiriya.

Day 3: Sigiriya to Polonnaruwa to Sigiriya

After breakfast, leave for the Sigiriya rock fortress, home to one of the oldest landscaped gardens in the world. Later, visit Pidurangala temple. Then, drive to Polonnaruwa and see the dozens of ancient temples, Buddha statues, and many other ancient structures built by ancient kings. Witness massive stone-cut Buddha statues, dagobas, an audience hall, and much more at the cultural museum of Polonnaruwa. Stay overnight in Sigiriya.

Day 4: Sigiriya to Kandy to Colombo

Depart early for Colombo via Kandy, visiting a spice/herbal garden en route. In Matale, spices and herbs are used for Sri Lankan cuisine and medicine. Hear about this history as you explore the site with your guide.

Later, visit Dambulla Golden Temple and Tooth Relic Temple, which are sure to add another level of sacrosanctity to your experience. Dambulla hosts more than 150 Buddha statues and a large number of ancient murals. The next stop will be Kandy City.

Kandy is one of Sri Lanka's most important cities because it has the temple of the sacred tooth of the Buddha. Thousands of devotees visit this temple every day, making it the most popular Buddhist shrine on the island. Return to your hotel in Colombo.
