Lanka’s Trip to Kandy
Tour Overview
This 4-night Kandy Nuwara Eliya Colombo tour package takes you through Sri Lanka's central hill country, pairing two of the island's best-known destinations with a night in Colombo built around ancient rock fortresses, tea country, and temple visits.
The trip begins with an airport transfer from Colombo to Kandy, stopping at Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage, home to dozens of rescued elephants and one of Sri Lanka's most-visited attractions. Two nights in Kandy include a full-day excursion to Sigiriya and Dambulla. Sigiriya Rock, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1982, is the centrepiece a 5th-century rock fortress with ancient frescoes, once the capital of King Kasyapa. Nearby, Dambulla Cave Temple, over 22 centuries old, holds Sri Lanka's largest collection of Buddha statues and well-preserved cave paintings.
From Kandy, the tour moves to Nuwara Eliya, Sri Lanka's hill-country tea town, with a stop at Sri Bhaktha Hanuman Temple in Ramboda en route. The drive also takes in tea plantations and Ramboda Falls, a three-tiered waterfall known as one of the country's most scenic. One night in Nuwara Eliya is followed by a transfer to Colombo for the final night, with the day left free to rest or explore independently.
This Kandy Nuwara Eliya Colombo tour package covers accommodation across three destinations Kandy (2 nights), Nuwara Eliya (1 night), Colombo (1 night) with breakfast included at Kandy and Nuwara Eliya; the Colombo stay is room-only. Private road transport runs the full trip, covering tolls, parking, and driver expenses. Dates are 15–19 January 2026, four nights and five days, for one room and two adults.
