Highlights
Wildlife & World Heritage is a short, single night, 2-day tour into the heart of Sri Lanka’s cultural triangle. Visit two UNESCO World Heritage sites beginning from the historical Dambulla Golden Cave Temple complex that once served as both an ancient kingdom as well as monastery for Buddhist monks and pilgrims. Climb the Sigiriya ‘Lion Rock’ Fortress, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This ancient fortification of stone was home to King Kasyapa during the 5th Century AD. It is considered one of Sri Lanka’s prime examples of ancient culture and heritage. Experience village life in Sigiriya and go on a Wildlife Safari in Minneriya National Park.
