Dambulla, Polonnaruwa, Sigiriya, Kandy  (2 day tour)

Dambulla Cave Temple (also known as the Golden Temple of Dambulla) is a world heritage site in Sri Lanka 72 km north of Kandy. It is the largest and best-preserved cave temple complex in Sri Lanka. Prehistoric Sri Lankans would have lived in these cave complexes before the arrival of Buddhism in Sri Lanka.

Polonnaruwa, Sri Lankas medieval capital,  was established as the city of the land in 11th century A.D. Polonnaruwa replaced Anuradhapura as the capital city of Sri Lanka,  a well-preserved city of ancient dagobas, moonstones, beautiful parks, massive buildings and stunningly beautiful statues.

Sri Lankan architectural tradition is well displayed at Sigiriya, the Lion Mountain, the best preserved city centre in Asia from the first millennium, with its combination of buildings and gardens with their trees, pathways, water gardens, the fusion of symmetrical and asymmetrical elements, use of varying levels and of axial and radial planning.

Passing the spice gardens, Pinnawela elephant orphanage, Mahaweli river and the famous Peradeniya Gardens - Lord Mountbatten's WWII headquarters - you arrive in Kandy, home to the Royal Palace and the sacred Temple of the Tooth (known as the Dalada Maligawa).
