Welcome to Sri Lanka

The teardrop shaped island of Sri Lanka lies in the Indian Ocean just off

the southern tip of India. With its golden sandy beaches, azure blue

waters and warm tropical climate, Sri Lanka is a year round destination

for holidaymakers seeking sun, sand and sea. The island has a rich

cultural heritage that dates back over 2,000 years which is linked to the

origins of Buddhism in the country with magnificently constructed

stupas and the ruins of ancient kingdoms. Controlled from the 16th

century onwards by the Portuguese, Dutch and finally the British prior

to gaining full independence in 1948, the influences of colonial powers

remain visible in architecture and a number of forts across the country.

Sri Lanka is recognised as a global biodiversity hotspot with a rich

variety of endemic flora and fauna, and incredibly for a small island,

can boast of large iconic animals such as the Asian Elephant, Leopard

and the largest animal to have inhabited our planet, the Blue Whale.

From palm fringed beaches to scrub jungles and numerous man-made

lakes in the lowlands to tropical rainforests, cloud forests and highlands

laden with waterfalls at its centre, this resplendent isle is abundant in

natural beauty.

Kandy:

Kandy was established as a city by King Wikramabahu III from the

Kingdom of Gampola in the 13th Century AD and was given the name

‘Senkadagalapura Siriwardhana Maha Nuwara’ which was shortened to

‘Maha Nuwara’ which means ‘Great City’ or ‘Capital’. Today, Kandy is

Sri Lanka’s second largest city after Colombo and is given a UNESCO

World Heritage status as a sacred city due to the importance of the

Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic. Kandy was the capital of the last

Sinhalese Kingdom under King Sri Wickrama Rajasinghe which finally

succumbed to British rule in 1815 after repelling several other

invasions from the Portuguese and the Dutch. The King was also

responsible for building the Kandy Lake which sprawls across the

central area of the city. Lying at an altitude of 500m above sea level

and surrounded by Knuckles and Hunnasgiriya mountain ranges, the

temperatures around Kandy are slightly cooler and conditions more

pleasant than in the lowlands.

Arrive in Kandy, the hill capital of Sri Lanka and check-in to Kings

Pavilion

Kings Pavilion, Kandy:

Settled in the quieter part of Aniwatte, a residential area in the

suburbs of Kandy, surrounded by greenery and birdlife, Kings Pavilion

is a nine-bedroom boutique hotel. Spread across three acres with a

large garden overlooking the Hunnasgiriya and Knuckles mountain

range, this contemporary style hotel blends in seamlessly with its

environment providing guests a comfortable place to relax. At the

entrance, guests are greeted by an elaborate yet colourful batik wall

hanging carefully crafted by Ena De Silva’s workshop in Matale, where

guests can settle in while they are checked-in. From there, they can

either proceed to the lobby, a snug area furnished with sofas or the

lounge area facing the garden to take in the scenery.

Day 04 – Kandy – Peradeniya

Peradeniya (approx. ½ hour drive)

Royal Botanical Gardens, Peradeniya:

The Royal Botanical Gardens is the largest of Sri Lanka’s botanical

gardens with over 4,000 different species of plants and is regarded

among the finest in Asia. The origins of the Botanical Gardens date to

1371 when King Wikramabahu III took to the throne and kept his court

at Peradeniya near the Mahaweli, where the gardens were reserved

exclusively for Kandyan Royalty. The highlights include the Orchid

collection, an avenue of Royal Palm Trees and a Javan Fig Tree on the

great lawn covering 2500 square kilometres. In addition to a multitude

of flowering plants, there is also an expansive collection of medicinal

plants and spices which can be seen during a stroll across the gardens.

Peradeniya is located in the outskirts of Kandy about a 30 min drive

away from the city centre and is best visited in the early mornings or

late afternoons.

Thereafter, explore the city of Kandy with your guide

Afterwards, visit the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic in Kandy

Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic:

Referred locally as the Sri Dalada Maligawa, the Temple of the Sacred

Tooth Relic is the most revered site in the country. The Temple was

built in the 16th century AD and is located adjacent to the Royal Palace

complex of the former Kingdom of Kandy and overlooks the expanses

of the Kandy Lake. Housing the sacred tooth relic of the Lord Buddha,

the building has held a significant role in local politics since ancient

times, with a belief that whoever holds the relic has the right to

govern the country. The sacred tooth was smuggled in to Sri Lanka from

India by a princess in the 4th century AD and was initially kept in

Anuradhapura and then moved across the country over time before

being housed in Kandy. This sacred temple attracts thousands of white-

clad pilgrims on a daily basis bearing lotus blossoms and frangipani for

their offerings, which are known as pujas. Ensure that you dress

appropriately, wearing clothes that cover your legs and shoulders and

please do remove your shoes before entering the holy temple.

temples. Located in the central highlands, just a few kilometres to the

southwest of Kandy, a seven-kilometre path links the Embekke,

Lankathilake and Gadaladeniya Temples.

Gadaladeniya Temple:

Famous for its beautiful stone carvings, this temple was built on a flat

rock at Diggala in the 14th Century. Faded paintings from around that

time provide many clues as to the manner in which the temple was

built. The architecture is South Indian, so the general belief is that the

workers were also brought from abroad.

Lankathilaka:

The majestic Lankathilake Vihare, believed to be one of the most

magnificent architectural edifices in the Gampola kingdom, was built

at the crest of a large rock named Panhalgala overlooking the Hantane

mountain range in the Hiripitiya hamlet in Udunuwara.

Embekke Devalaya:

Embekke Devalaya, is a wooden temple situated in the Ambakka

village, three kilometres from the Peradeniya Botanical Gardens. It

was built in the 14th century by King Wickremabahu III. Adjacent to

the main temple, is a gedige (circular temple roof, raised off the

ground by pillars) and inside the temple is a courtyard where originally

the Hewisi drums and trumpet were played during the ceremonies

Thereafter return to the hotel and spend the rest of the day at leisure

Overnight at Kings Pavilion, Kandy in a Junior Suite on Bed & Breakfast

Jungle Beach, Kuchchaveli:

Spectacularly set in an entirely natural and harmonious blend of Sri

in 1627 and restored by the Dutch in 1665. At its summit lies the sacred

Koneswaram Hindu Temple which was fully restored in 1632 after the

original temple was destroyed by the Portugese and was toppled over

the edge of Swami Rock into the sea. Adjacent to the Koneswaram

Temple is the Lovers Leap viewpoint where you can get sweeping views

from the summit of Swami Rock over the Trincomalee harbour and its

Resort tastefully blends a previous era with the modern comforts of

the present. Located on a sprawling 58acre estate, Ulagalla is a

luxurious retreat nestled among two sparkling reservoirs, lush green

In the late afternoon explore Anuradhapura, the 01st ancient capital of

Sri Lanka

The Ancient City of Anuradhapura:

Spend your day exploring the various sites located within the ancient

city of Anuradhapura. Here, Buddhism has prevailed from its

introduction to the current period. On religious days, the city is filled

with devotees who travel from all across the Island to pay homage to

the various religious sites within the ancient city by first cleansing

themselves in the manmade lake and then offering flowers and prayers

to the Gods. On such days, the city can be a busy place but this is a

part of the wonderful experience of witnessing Buddhism through a

living ancient city. Dating back to at least 1000 BC, Anuradhapura was

capital of much of Sri Lanka between the 5th century BC and the 11th

century AD. It was here that Buddhism was adopted by the rulers in

the 3rd century BC. Thera Mahinda, the son of the great Indian

Emperor Ashoka, introduced Buddhism to the country. The city grew

and was a major secular and religious site that today covers over 40 sq

km. Many places are still sites of worship and prayer

Overnight at Ulagalla By Uga Escape, Anuradhapura for 03 Nights in a

Ulagalla Pool Villa on Bed & Breakfast Basis


Day 11 – Anuradhapura – Polonnaruwa – Minneriya

After a scrumptious breakfast at Ulagalla, proceed to visit the ancient

city of Polonnaruwa (approx. 1 ½ hour drive)

The Ancient City of Polonnaruwa:

Known as the second most ancient kingdom of Sri Lanka, Polonnaruwa

is an ancient site containing the archaeological remains of ancient

structures of governance, temples, and statues that reflect the great

works of the ancient Kings of Sri Lanka. Polonnaruwa took its place in

history after King Vijayabahu I defeated the invading Cholas and moved

the capital from Anuradhapura to Polonnaruwa. While King Vijayabahu

is credited with the creation of Polonnaruwa as the second ancient

capital of Sri Lanka, real change came to Polonnaruwa during the

golden reign of King Parakramabahu I. The King was instrumental in

monumental changes and development from an agricultural

perspective to Polonnaruwa where his royal decree was that not a

single drop of rain should be wasted. New irrigation and waterways

were constructed as well as the enormous man-made tank titled the

Parakrama Samudraya that forms almost a ring around the city and

functions both as a protective barrier as well as an enormous

catchment area for the collection of rainwater to irrigate the

agricultural land around the city of Polonnaruwa. It is said that the

man-made tank is so vast that if you stood on one side of it, you would

not be able to see the other side due to its enormity. Polonnaruwa is

a UNESCO listed world heritage site.

Lunch at a Local Restaurant – Payable Direct

In the afternoon, visit the Minneriya or Kaudulla National Park in search

of wild Asian Elephants (approx. 45-minute drive)

Minneriya / Kaudulla / Hurullu National Park Game Drive:

‘The Gathering of Elephants’, which is ranked among the world’s top

wildlife viewing spectacles runs from June – October each year. Each

afternoon, around 150 - 200 individual elephants come out of the

forest in to the open to graze on the fresh green pasture by the water’s

edge at Minneriya and Kaudulla national parks. You have excellent

opportunities here to observe the social dynamics of the Asian

Elephant as the large bulls in musth compete among each other and

seek the females within the herd, while young calves with carefree

abandon get up to their mischievous antics often to the displeasure of

its alert mothers within the herd.

Overnight at Ulagalla By Uga Escape, Anuradhapura in a Ulagalla Pool

Villa on Bed & Breakfast Basis


Day 12 – Anuradhapura – Sigiriya

Today, leave early morning with a pack breakfast to climb the famous

Sigiriya Rock Fortress (approx. 1 ½ hour drive)

Sigiriya Rock Fortress:

Referred to as ‘The Lion Rock’ by locals, Sigiriya became the capital

during the reign of King Kashyapa in the 4th century A.D. After slaying

his own father, King Dhatusena of Anuradhapura to take the throne

and fearing a retaliatory attack from the rightful heir Moggallana who

fled to neighbouring India, the new King constructed his royal palace

on the summit of this 200 meters high rock with a fortress for his own

protection. Walkthrough the meticulously landscaped Royal Gardens

and ascend towards the summit where only ruins of the royal palace

now remain. A visit to the fresco gallery with its ancient paintings of

the King's maids in waiting and the Mirror Wall with ancient transcripts

that closely match the modern-day Sinhalese language should also not

be missed. In 495 A.D, Moggallana returned from his exile and defeated

the King re-instating Anuradhapura as the capital. Sigiriya was then

used as a Buddhist monastery until the 14th century prior to being

mysteriously abandoned.

After the Sigiriya climb, return to the hotel and relax

Villa on Bed & Breakfast Basis


Day 12 – Anuradhapura – Dambulla – Kotugoda

After breakfast at Ulagalla by Uga Escape, proceed to Kotugoda

(approx. 4 hours’ drive)

En-route explore the Rock Cave Temple in Dambulla

Rock Cave Temple, Dambulla:

Dambulla is famous for its rock paintings and is among the best-

preserved monastic temple cave complexes in Sri Lanka. There are

about 150 Buddha statues with over 2000 square metres of painted

walls and ceilings within a complex of five separate caves, which also

includes some Hindu deities. Dambulla’s origins as a place of worship

dates back to the reign of King Valagamba in the 1st century BC, who

took refuge in these caves when driven out of Anuradhapura by Chola

invaders. Once he regained the throne, the king had the interior of the

caves transformed in to magnificent rock temples. More paintings and

statues were added over time by later kings. One of the most notable

modifications was made by King Nissanka Malla, who had the caves’

interiors gilded giving it the name ‘Ran Giri’ or ‘Golden Rock’ Temple.

Continue the journey from Dambulla to Kotugoda

Arrive in Kotugoda and check-in to The Wallawwa

The Wallawwa, Kotugoda:

Nestled amongst three acres of magnificent manicured gardens, The
