Day Wise Itinerary:

 

Day 1: Colombo airport-Sigiriya:

Transfer from Colombo airport to Sigiriya. Evening at leisure. Overnight at Sigiriya.

Day 2: Sigiriya-Pidurangala Rock-Sigiriya:

Pidurangala Rock has a much more natural feel, despite also housing a temple.

Pidurangala Rock is adjacent to Sigiriya Rock and is the best viewing spot of Sigiriya Rock as it is only slightly lower. Pidurangala is a popular spot for sunrise as you can enjoy 360-degree views of not only the valleys but also Sigiriya Rock.

At the base of Pidurangala Rock, you will find Pidurangala Sigiri Rajamaha Viharaya, which is a white temple.

After you reach the temple there are only 5-10 minutes of trekking remaining. However, this part of the trail involves some bouldering. While it may seem easy to many it might be a bit challenging for some. There are no dangerous sections just a few boulders, which require a big step up.

Once you reach the top you will have the best seat in the house (the whole of Sigiriya) for not only the sunrise but also of Sigiriya Rock. The sun doesn’t rise directly over the Sigiriya Rock but it is still a beautiful way to start the morning watching the sun light up the valley.

Return to Sigiriya for overnight stay.

Day 3: Sigiriya-Kandy:

Transfer from Sigiriya to Kandy. Visit the Kandy Lake, Cultural Dance show and Temple of Tooth Relic.

Overnight at Kandy.

Day 4: Kandy:

Trekking to Heeloya Village – Exploring typical Sri Lankan Village lifestyle

Heeloya is a rural, remote agricultural village in the Kandy district with a unique attraction of

understanding how justice was meted out in the good old days. The proceedings of hearing a

case by the village-headman and the location are still intact.

The main livelihood of the village community is paddy cultivation, home gardening, livestock

and spices. Villagers engage in toddy tapping, handicrafts, bee-keeping, traditional dances etc.,

as supplementary income sources.

A very traditional village, it is unique in that it identifies itself with practicing even to this day

some of the local customs in daily life. Tourists are encouraged to work and become part of the

village life by engaging in plucking fruits and vegetables for a meal to be prepared according to

the local taste. They would also get an opportunity to watch some of the other aspects of this

village being the Heeloya waterfall, local species and herbs.

Visitors to Heeloya can get a feel of the life in a typical village in addition to trekking and sight-

seeing and a culinary experience in true Sri Lankan style! We offer these tours as half day or full
