Hikkaduwa to Kandy

Royal Botanical Gardens - Once exclusive to Kandyan royalty, these magnificent gardens are now open to the public, showcasing the largest and most impressive botanical collection in Sri Lanka, spanning 60 hectares. Highlights include a remarkable orchid collection, a majestic avenue of royal palms, the uniquely named cannonball fruit tree, and towering 40m-high Burma bamboo. A standout feature is the giant Javan fig tree on the expansive lawn, with its massive central trunk and umbrella-like canopy. Peradeniya is located 6km from the heart of Kandy.

Kandy View Point - Known as the highest vantage point in Kandy, this spot offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the city. It’s so serene that visitors often wish to linger and admire the captivating scenery all day. Conveniently located within walking distance from the lake, a designated area has been constructed for optimal viewing. It’s a must-visit with a camera to capture stunning photos and videos.

Kandy Lake Club - Cultural Dance Show - The Kandy Lake Club Cultural Dance Show is an exhilarating showcase of Sri Lankan arts, dance, and cultural heritage, essential for any visitor to Kandy. Established in 1982, it was the first of its kind in Sri Lanka, bringing together all forms of Sri Lankan dance on one stage. It has since become a major attraction for tourists eager to experience the country’s rich cultural legacy, performing continuously for over 35 years.

Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic - The Temple of the Sacred Tooth, with its golden roof, houses Sri Lanka’s most revered Buddhist relic – a tooth of the Buddha. During puja (offerings or prayers), the heavily secured room containing the tooth is accessible to devotees and tourists. However, the tooth itself is not visible, as it is encased in a gold casket shaped like a dagoba (stupa), which contains a series of six diminishing dagoba caskets. The complex also includes several smaller temples, shrines, and museums.

Kandy to Sigiriya

Golden Temple of Dambulla - The stunning Royal Rock Temple complex is situated about 160m above the road in southern Dambulla. It comprises five separate caves containing approximately 150 exquisite Buddha statues and paintings, representing some of Sri Lanka’s most significant and evocative religious art. Buddha images were first created here over 2000 years ago, with subsequent kings enhancing the cave art over the centuries.

Pidurangala Rock - While Sigiriya Rock is steeped in history with dramatic features like the lion’s paw and mirror wall, Pidurangala Rock offers a more natural ambiance, despite also housing a temple. Adjacent to Sigiriya Rock, Pidurangala provides the best vantage point for viewing Sigiriya Rock, being only slightly lower. It is a favored spot for sunrise, offering 360-degree views of the valleys and Sigiriya Rock. Travelers often enjoy sunrise at Pidurangala and then head to Sigiriya Rock for sunset.

Kaudulla National Park - With over 26 national parks, Sri Lanka offers popular safari experiences. Kaudulla National Park is among the best for spotting elephants, home to over 200 elephants, monkeys, crocodiles, and even a few leopards. Opened in 2002, the park is surrounded by grasslands and can be visited year-round to observe elephants and other wildlife, making it one of the top national parks in Sri Lanka.

Sigiriya to Hikkaduwa

Sigiriya The Ancient Rock Fortress - Known as the Lion’s Rock, Sigiriya is a rock fortress and palace located in Sri Lanka’s Matale district. This historic site is surrounded by gardens, ponds, and other structures. Built by King Kassapa, Sigiriya is recognized as a World Heritage site and is the best-preserved city center in Asia.
