About this experience

Esci da Kandy e entra in uno dei paesaggi più ricchi di storia dello Sri Lanka in questo tour guidato di 12,5 ore. Il vostro autista-guida di lingua inglese vi preleva direttamente dal vostro hotel e vi guida verso nord in un veicolo climatizzato fino alla Rocca Fortificata di Sigiriya — un sito Patrimonio dell'Umanità UNESCO che si erge 200 metri sopra le pianure circostanti. Salite l'antica cittadella, passeggiata nei giardini reali alla sua base, e ammirate le vedute panoramiche che hanno affascinato i viaggiatori per secoli. Da lì, un tour tradizionale del villaggio a Sigiriya vi introduce alla vita rurale dello Sri Lanka, concluso con un pranzo di villaggio incluso.

Il pomeriggio porta un cambio di ritmo al Lago Habarana, dove una sessione di birdwatching guidato vi permette di scrutare l'orlo dell'acqua e la vegetazione circostante alla ricerca dei diversi residenti aviatori della zona. Ogni persona riceve una bottiglia d'acqua da 1 litro durante il giorno. Il trasferimento in hotel è incluso, e il tour si svolge in inglese per i viaggiatori di età superiore a cinque anni. Le mance e qualsiasi pasto non specificato nell'itinerario sono a vostre spese.
