About this experience
Board your air-conditioned vehicle in Kandy and head north on this private 12-hour day trip covering three distinct sides of Sri Lanka. At Sigiriya, climb the UNESCO-listed rock fortress and examine the famous fifth-century frescoes and the landscaped gardens King Kashyapa built around his citadel. Next, the rural village of Hiriwaduna offers a look at Sri Lankan life largely unchanged for generations — finishing with a traditional village lunch included in your tour.
The afternoon moves to Minneriya National Park, where you swap the vehicle for a safari jeep and spend three hours scanning the reservoir banks for wild elephants, deer, and birds. Your English-speaking chauffeur guide accompanies you throughout, and hotel pickup and drop-off from Kandy plus a water bottle per person are all arranged by Lakpura. Entrance tickets to Sigiriya Rock and Minneriya National Park are paid separately on the day.
