Overview

About this package

Six days through the cultural triangle — climbing the lion-carved staircases of Sigiriya at dawn, exploring the cave temples of Dambulla lit with two millennia of gold-leaf Buddhas, and cycling the ruins of the ancient capital Polonnaruwa. Each stop earns its keep as a genuine wonder, not a photo-stop.
