Sri Lanka 2 days tour to Sigiriya and Polonnaruwa

Explore this fascinating Sri Lanka. Take a 2-day tour to Sigiriya and Polonnaruwa to explore Sri Lanka's cultural triangle, uncover the remnants of Polonnaruwa, the second kingdom of Sri Lanka, and spend two days exploring the magnificent Sigiriya Rock castle and magnificent golden temple from the first century BC. With this tour, you will have the opportunity to delve deeper into the history of these stunning UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

We'll pick you up early in the morning from your Negombo, Bentota, or Colombo hotel and drive you to Sigiriya.

Today, you will be touring the well-known tourist destinations of the Dambulla temple and the Sigiriya rock castle. This location is well-known for its golden-hued granite toadstool, which rises into the scorching blue sky from a hot, flat scrub-land wilderness and becomes a water garden during the rainy season. In the fifth century, King Kashyapa domesticated Lions Rock by erecting a palace atop its peak. Sigiriya honors a portion of Sri Lanka's turbulent past.

On the second day, after breakfast, you will go to Polonnarue. Polonnaruwa, with its spectacular stone culture and well-preserved 12th-century remains, is Sri Lanka's ancient heartland and an important royal city. Though it is almost a millennium old, it is younger than Sri Lanka's first capital, Anuradhapura, and generally in better condition. Grouping the monuments in a manageably small garden setting simplifies their progression. Later in the day, we will embark on a safari to Minneriya National Park.

On the second day of the trip, visit the Pinnawala elephant orphanage en route to your hotel in Colombo after visiting Polonnaruwa.
