About this experience

Erklimmen Sie die antike Felsfestung Sigiriya und betreten Sie die Welt von König Kasyapa, dessen Palast aus dem 5. Jahrhundert eine 200 Meter hohe Vulkansäule krönt. Beim Aufstieg passieren Sie die berühmte Spiegelmauer und die lebendigen Fresken der Wolkenmädchen – Gemälde, die über 1.500 Jahre überdauert haben. Ihr privates, klimatisiertes Fahrzeug holt Sie direkt von Ihrem Hotel in Colombo ab, und Ihr englischsprachiger Chauffeur-Guide stellt die historischen Hintergründe vor Ihrer Ankunft dar.

Nach Sigiriya fahren Sie weiter zum Dambulla Cave Temple, einem Komplex aus fünf in Felsen gehauenen Schreinen gefüllt mit vergoldeten Buddha-Statuen und kunstvollen Deckenmalereien, die Jahrhunderte srilankischer Handwerkskunst umspannen. Eine Wasserflasche ist pro Gast inbegriffen. Lebensmittel und persönliche Ausgaben sind nicht enthalten. Der vollständige Tag dauert 11 Stunden, mit Hotel-Rückfahrt am Ende. Mindestalter ist 12 Jahre. Dies ist eine private Tour – keine Gruppen.
