What the day looks like

Step 1
Day 1: Galle Fort & Journey to Kandy
Begin your morning with a leisurely guided walk through the cobblestone streets of Galle Fort, exploring its Dutch Reformed Church, maritime museum, and charming boutiques nestled within 17th-century ramparts. After lunch at a courtyard cafe, depart for Kandy along a scenic inland route through rolling tea country. Arrive in the evening for a visit to the sacred Temple of the Tooth, where you can observe the atmospheric evening puja ceremony. Overnight in Kandy.
Step 2
Day 2: Kandy, Dambulla & Sigiriya
After breakfast, visit Kandy's vibrant central market and the Royal Botanical Gardens at Peradeniya, home to a remarkable orchid collection and giant Javan fig trees. Continue north to the Dambulla Cave Temple, where five caves house over 150 Buddha statues and vivid ceiling murals dating back to the 1st century BC. In the late afternoon, arrive at Sigiriya and check into your hotel with views of the iconic rock fortress. Overnight near Sigiriya.
Step 3
Day 3: Sigiriya Rock Fortress & Return
Rise early to beat the heat and climb the 1,200 steps of Sigiriya Rock Fortress. Pause at the famous Mirror Wall and the sheltered gallery of Sigiriya Frescoes before reaching the summit ruins of King Kashyapa's 5th-century sky palace. The panoramic views from the top stretch endlessly over forest and farmland. After descending, enjoy a relaxed lunch before the scenic return drive to Hikkaduwa, arriving by evening.
