About this experience

Sali a bordo di un veicolo privato con aria condizionata a Kandy e dirigiti verso nord con la tua guida autista che parla inglese per una giornata di 13,5 ore che abbraccia due delle più grandi destinazioni dello Sri Lanka. A Polonnaruwa, cammina tra i Buddha di pietra, i palazzi reali e gli antichi dagoba di una civiltà che ha governato l'isola più di mille anni fa. Nel pomeriggio, passa a un jeep safari ed entra nel Parco Nazionale di Minneriya, dove grandi branchi di elefanti selvatici si radunano intorno al bacino idrico — uno degli spettacoli della fauna selvatica più straordinari dell'Asia. Per ogni persona viene fornita una bottiglia d'acqua da un litro.

Questa è una visita privata — nessun autobus condiviso, nessuno sconosciuto nel tuo gruppo. Il prelievo e la riconsegna dall'hotel a Kandy sono inclusi. I bambini dai cinque anni in su sono benvenuti. I biglietti d'ingresso per Polonnaruwa e il Parco Nazionale di Minneriya, i pasti e le mance non sono inclusi, quindi considerali nel tuo budget. Prenota tramite Lakpura per assicurarti il tuo veicolo privato e la tua guida.
