About this activity
Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Sigiriya The Ancient Rock Fortress, Main Road, Sigiriya 21120 Sri Lanka
One of Sri Lanka’s most breathtaking landmarks, the Sigiriya Rock Fortress was built by King Kasyapa as the place of his new capital around the 5th century BC. The rock sits almost 200 metres above the surrounding rain-forest and is the remnant of a once active volcano made almost entirely from hardened magma. Included in the complex of Sigiriya is a ruined palace, a vast network of fortifications, gardens, ponds, canals, alleys and fountains. When it rains many of these channels fill up with water revealing a vast network of underground tunnels with drainage systems rarely preserved from ancient times. Boulder gardens, water gardens, cave gardens and terraced gardens cover the western side of the plateau and are among the oldest landscape gardens in the world.
Duration: 2 hours
Stop At: Minneriya National Park, Maradankadawala-Habarana-Thirukkondaiadimadu Highway, Habarana 50150 Sri Lanka
Minneriya National Park is a perfect spot to spend few hours witnessing one of the most astonishing wildlife spectacles on earth. Capture the golden opportunity to witness the Asia’s largest gathering of mighty elephants, wandering in the green grassland overlooking the beautiful Minneriya reservoir, the heart of the life of the national park. Offering you a range of animals to discover, a Minneriya safari ride is a golden opportunity wildlife enthusiasts should not miss in their visit to Sri Lanka.
