Highlights
  • The Island Spice Grove - Enjoy Sri Lanka’s world-renowned spices at their source. Visit a spice garden, where smells of cinnamons, pepper, cardamom, nutmeg, and mace overwhelm the senses and the visitors are provided an insight into an age-old industry of spice production, which attracted many European and Asian merchants to the ports of ancient Sri Lanka.

  • Dambulla Cave Temple - Dambulla cave temple also known as the Golden Temple of Dambulla is a World Heritage Site and the largest and best-preserved cave temple complex in Sri Lanka situated in the central part of the country. This site is situated 148 kilometers east of Colombo,
    There are five caves inside, each with a different interior and statues, though many people at a quick glance would assume they are pretty similar. The monastery dates back to the first century (BC) when it is believed the caves were converted. It has been added to over the years and has been home to many different religions. The caves you can visit today were restored and re-painted as they stand now by the Kingdom of Kandy in the 18th century.

  • Sigiriya The Ancient Rock Fortress - Sigiriya Lion Rock is an ancient rock fortress known for its massive column of rock that reaches nearly 200 meters high. The site dates back to the reign of King Kasyapa (477-495 AD), who chose this site as his new capital. He decorated the walls with frescoes, and built an impressive palace right on top of the rock column, accessible only through the mouth of an enormous carved lion.
