Plan a journey here
Make it your kind of day

Little moments.
Lovely discoveries.

01

Sigiriya rock fortress

Explore the gardens and climb towards the summit of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. The climb includes many steps; plan around your mobility, the heat and the weather.

02

Pidurangala viewpoint

For a different view of the landscape, discuss a guided walk at nearby Pidurangala. The upper section involves uneven rock and scrambling, so it will not suit everyone.

03

Dambulla cave temples

Combine your stay with the painted caves and Buddha statues of Dambulla. Wear clothing covering shoulders and knees and follow temple etiquette.

04

Village landscapes

Slow down for rural scenery, local food and quieter roads around the cultural triangle. Tell us whether you prefer history, photography or a relaxed drive.

Leave room to wander

Your day.
Your pace.

Start early at Sigiriya, allow time to recover over lunch, and choose either Dambulla or a gentle afternoon in the surrounding countryside.

A little before you go

Entry fees and guides are quoted separately unless included in your agreed plan. Carry water and sun protection, and allow plenty of time for the climb.
