Sigiriya / Polonnaruwa / Sigiriya

Leave for the first Sigiriya rock castle and then Polonnaruwa after a leisurely breakfast.
Morning: Climb the renowned Sigiriya rock stronghold and explore the rocky residence and water gardens, one of the Seven Wonders of the World and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Sigiriya
In Sri Lanka's Central Province, Sigiriya is situated close to the town of Dambulla in the Matale District. The phrase describes a site with historical and archaeological significance where a sizable rock column that is close to 200 meters (660 feet) tall dominates. King Kasyapa (477–495 CE) reportedly chose the location for his new capital, according to the ancient Sri Lankan chronicle Culavamsa. On top of this rock, he constructed his castle, which he then painted with vibrant paintings. He constructed a doorway in the shape of a huge lion on a little plateau that is halfway up the side of this rock. This building gave the location its name, Shgiri, or the Lion Rock. After the king's passing, the city's capital and royal palace were left in ruins. Up until the fourteenth century, it was utilized as a Buddhist monastery.

Visit the old city of Polonnaruwa later, in the early afternoon. The city tour of Polonnaruwa takes around two hours.

Polonnaruwa
The second-most historic city in Sri Lanka is Polonnaruwa. After Anuradhapura, it was designated as Sri Lanka's capital. The capital of Sri Lanka's second-oldest kingdom, Polonnaruwa, was officially designated as such by King Vijayabahu I, who overthrew the Chola invaders in 1070 to restore the country's unity under local rule.

The historic city of Polonnaruwa is still one of the nation's best-planned archaeological relic sites today, bearing witness to the virtue and majesty of the Kingdom's early monarchs. Additionally, sequences for the 1982 Duran Duran music video Save a Prayer were filmed against its stunning background. UNESCO has designated the historic city of Polonnaruwa as a World Heritage Site.

Palaces, dagobas, and temples are all included in the city tour, which serves as a fine illustration of Sri Lankan historical workmanship. You will see some of the following sights during the three hours of your guided tour of the historic city of Polonnaruwa:

• Royal Palace, which King Parakramabahu, the most accomplished and prolific builder of his time, constructed.
• Nissankamalla Palace, which features a magnificent royal audience hall.
• Gal Viharaya (home to some of the nation's outstanding rock carvings);
• Image Houses at Thuparama and Lankathilaka (Excellent examples of vaulted shrine chambers)
• Vatadage (provides a description of what a fully developed vatadage would have looked like)
• Parakramabahu Statue, a statue of one of Sri Lanka's finest rulers; Rankoth Vehera, the biggest stupa in Polonnaruwa.

Following that, a cooking lesson and a visit to the Sigiriya village were organized to give participants a taste of everyday country life in Sri Lanka.

Gal Vihara
In the historic city of Polonnaruwa, there is a rock shrine dedicated to the Buddha called the Gal Vihara. Parakramabahu I created it in the 12th century. Four Buddha sculptures in rock relief that have been carved into the surface of a large granitic (granite gneiss) rock serve as the temple's main attraction. A huge sitting figure, a smaller seated figure inside an artificial grotto, a standing figure, and a reclining figure are all seen in the photographs. The Gal Vihara is the most popular landmark in Polonnaruwa as a result of these works, which are regarded as some of the finest examples of early Sinhalese sculpture and carving.

The village tour
You will have a special experience visiting a remote Sigiriya village on this village tour. This tour includes rice field touring, a bullock cart ride, a traditional catamaran sail on a lake, a visit to a Chena crop, a traditional cookery demonstration in a rural village house, and a traditional Sri Lankan lunch.

Since ancient times, the relic has played an important role in local politics because it is believed that whoever holds the relic holds the governance of the country.

Day 4

Time : 8:00 am

KANDY /NUWARA ELIYA

This morning, say goodbye to Kandy as you hop on a train for around 4 hours to Nuwara Eliya. It’s a kind of long trip, but you can buy all sorts of yummy treats from the onboard sellers. Upon reaching Nuwara Eliya, check in at the hotel and relax. Once you've dropped off your luggage, perhaps head out for a visit to a local tea factory. If this doesn't take your fancy, go for dinner at one of the many local restaurants and bars. In the afternoon, take a Nuwara Eliya city tour.

Hill Country Train Journey
The hill train trip is an opportunity to see some of the finest scenery in Sri Lanka's hill country. The landscape beyond the track is truly dazzling. The lush mountain vistas dominated every inch of the journey.

The Hill Country Train Trip is one of the world’s most beautiful train trips. The seven-hour journey passes through tea estates dotted with workers in brightly colored saris, pine forests, waterfalls, mountains, and gorges. The railway, built by the British in 1864 to transport tea and coffee from the Hill Country to the capital, Colombo, is now one of the best ways to explore the villages, towns, and national parks along the way.

Tea factory
On a tea plantation visit, you can learn about tea picking and processing and enjoy some fine Sri Lankan tea. It’s probably a much more exciting prospect if you’re a tea lover, but even if you’re not, the Hill Country (or Tea Country, as it’s sometimes called) is arguably the most scenic part of the island and worth a visit.

You’ll find rolling hills clad with row upon row of luscious green tea plants. It’s often shrouded in a fine mist and is the perfect escape from the heat of Sri Lanka’s wonderful beaches (if you need an escape!).

Nuwar Eliya city walk
A walking tour of Nuwara Eliya involves scenic views of Sri Lanka's forested hills. One can take a stroll around the tea plantations and visit the many different sightseeing places around. It is known as 'Little England', and has old buildings with colonial and Tudor architecture, making it a pleasant place for walking around. The town also has many historical sites and temples that are valuable to different cultures. This town is the perfect place to walk, relax, rewind, and get a taste of different cultures, spanning a few kilometers.

Rosha shared his deep historic and cultural knowledge of his country, people, nature and cultural triangle, with us over this 5 days private trip. The tour was capped off with an excellent lunch of local rice and curry washed down with a refreshing Sri Lankan wine during which Rosha entertained us with stories from his student days and former career. As with all enthralling lunchtime conversations, we then proceeded to resolve the problems of the World and compare our love of 70s rock music!

  19. Shellei:

    Kusum is an entertaining and knowledgeable guide. Unfortunately he was often distracted during our tour by calls on his mobile. Along with long chats to shop owners, Kusums’s attention often seemed to be elsewhere and we were a little disappointed with the tour. Still we had the opportunity to visit many important ancient monuments, temples, and gardens in Sri Lanka. Wildlife tour was excellent, but the whole experience could have and should have been better.
