Overview
Explore three of Sri Lanka's most iconic landmarks on a private day trip from Kandy, visiting the ancient Sigiriya Rock Fortress, the sacred Dambulla Cave Temples, and the wildlife-rich Minneriya National Park with an expert driver-guide.
This private day tour from Kandy takes you to the very heart of Sri Lanka's cultural triangle in a single, action-packed day. Travel in comfort aboard a private, air-conditioned sedan with a registered chauffeur-guide who provides fascinating insights along the way.
Your journey begins with a visit to Sigiriya, the ancient rock citadel that rises dramatically from the surrounding plains and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1982. Next, explore the Dambulla Golden Rock Temple — another UNESCO-listed treasure — where centuries-old cave temples house magnificent Buddha statues and sacred murals carved into the living rock.
In the afternoon, venture into Minneriya National Park for a thrilling safari experience, where you stand a great chance of witnessing the famous gathering of wild Asian elephants, alongside countless other species of wildlife and birds.
The tour is highly customizable. You can swap the Minneriya Safari for an immersive Sigiriya Village experience that includes a traditional bull cart ride and a boat journey, or take on the Pidurangala Rock hike for sweeping panoramic views. A traditional Sri Lankan rice and curry lunch is available in Sigiriya Village for an additional fee. Return transfers to your hotel or any preferred drop-off point are included.
