Day 1 Airport - Sigiriya - Dambulla - Kandy Arrive by flight and you will be transferred to the arrival terminal.

(Pick up at airport or Colombo City) En route, visit Dambulla Cave Temple. The Rock Temple of Dambulla, called Jumbukola Vihara (Dambulla Cave Temple) in the Mahavamsa—the principal Pali Chronicle of Sri Lanka—is situated about forty-seven miles northwest of Kandy, the last capital of the Sinhalese kings, on the main road to Anuradhupura. Dambulla is a scene of unique interest. Its rock temples are the most extensive on the island and one of the most ancient and in the highest state of preservation and order. Next Climb to Sigiriya Rock. Rising significantly from the focal fields, the confounding rough outcrop of Sigiriya is maybe Sri Lanka's single most emotional sight. Close vertical dividers take off to a level, bested summit that contains the vestiges of an antiquated civilization, thought to be at one time the focal point of the brief kingdom of Kassapa, and there are enchanting vistas crosswise over fog-enclosed woodlands by the early morning. Next visit to Temple of tooth in Kandy, The golden-roofed Temple of the Sacred Tooth houses Sri Lanka’s most important Buddhist relic—a tooth of the Buddha. During puja (offerings or prayers), the heavily guarded room housing the tooth is open to devotees and tourists. However, you don’t actually see the tooth. It’s kept in a gold casket shaped like a dagoba (stupa), which contains a series of six dagoba caskets of diminishing size. As well as the revered main temple, the complex includes a series of smaller temples, shrines, and museums. Next visit to Kandy View Point, Climb the hill by Kandy Lake to reach Kandy Viewpoint and receive a view of the city that cannot be beaten. As a popular tourist spot, the area brings in a large number of peddlers, though they often sell sub-par items. The area also has a reputation for high pickpocket activity, so keep an eye on your belongings. From the hill, you can enjoy great views over the lake and the city as a whole. Next visit to Kandy Lake, Also known as Kiri Muhuda or the Sea of Milk, it is an artificial lake in the heart of the hill city of Kandy, Sri Lanka, built in 1807 by King Sri Wickrama Rajasinghe next to the Temple of the Tooth. Over the years, it was reduced in size. It is a protected lake, with fishing banned. There are many legends and folklore regarding the lake. One such is that the small island at its center was used by the king’s helm for bathing and was connected to the palace by a secret tunnel. Check in to the hotel in Kandy.
