You’ll discover several remarkable frescoes along the way, as well as a pair of colossal lion paws carved from the bedrock.
Afternoon, you may taken to Minneriya/Kaudulla National Park for an evening safari since it is the best time to capture wild animals in their natural habitat. If you’re up for a serious rumble in the jungle, then Minneriya/Kaudulla is your ideal place! But it is also home to herds of deer, bulls, wild boars, and a variety of vivid wildlife. It is always a fantastic experience to watch baby elephants playing with water by the Minneriya Lake. In the evening, if you are interested, you can get treated to an Ayurvedic herbal massage before returning to your cozy hotel. Ayurvedic head massage is said to relieve mental stress and tiredness and to aid in bringing peace and clarity.
In the morning, you may visit the Golden Buddha Statue and the Royal Cave Temple (UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITE). The largest and best-preserved cave temple complex in Sri Lanka is found in Dambulla. Since the first century B.C. many kings greatly treasured it.

It would be a fantastic experience if you could climb the rock and take in the magnificent view.

You may take your own walk around Kandy’s busy city centre and the lake around in the afternoon, before taking in a cultural dance performance that draws inspiration from Sri Lankan arts, traditional dance, and cultural history.
Bentota is a delightful sandy beach that was a well-kept secret in the past, but now more restaurants and pubs are opening to visitors. It’s a magnificent place characterized by white sands and coconut palms growing right from the edge of the sea as if in imitation of a postcard of a perfect tropical beach.

After that, before heading on to your lovely beach resort you’ll visit a turtle hatchery center where local and international volunteers are fighting to safeguard sea turtles since they are an endangered species. The Wildlife Protection Society examined the area with a Sea Turtle Conservation Project that runs on a significant scale and later recognized this bustling tourist destination.
After breakfast, you’ll visit the capital city of Colombo, which has an interesting history running back to the fifth century. Even in ancient times, this was an important port city in the East-West sea trade. Nowadays it has become a bustling modern town with a unique atmosphere.
