About this experience

Suba a un vehículo privado con aire acondicionado en Kandy y diríjase hacia el norte con su guía chofer de habla inglesa durante un día de 13.5 horas que abarca dos de los destinos más destacados de Sri Lanka. En Polonnaruwa, camine entre los Budas de piedra, palacios reales y dagobas antiguos de una civilización que gobernó la isla hace más de mil años. Por la tarde, cambie a un jeep safari e ingrese al Parque Nacional Minneriya, donde grandes rebaños de elefantes salvajes se reúnen alrededor del embalse, uno de los espectáculos de vida silvestre más impresionantes de Asia. Se proporciona una botella de agua de un litro por persona.\n\nEste es un tour privado: sin autobuses compartidos, sin extraños en su grupo. Se incluye el transporte de ida y vuelta desde su hotel en Kandy. Se aceptan niños de cinco años en adelante. Las entradas a Polonnaruwa y al Parque Nacional Minneriya, comidas y propinas no están incluidas, así que considere esos gastos en su presupuesto.
