About this experience

Partenza da Galle in un veicolo privato climatizzato con la vostra guida autista che parla inglese, diretti verso nord nel triangolo culturale dello Sri Lanka. Nel primo giorno, esplorate il Tempio della Grotta d'Oro di Dambulla — un Sito Patrimonio dell'Umanità UNESCO che fungeva sia da antico regno che da monastero per monaci buddisti e pellegrini. Quindi salite a Sigiriya, la Fortezza della "Roccia del Leone" del V secolo costruita dal Re Kasyapa, un altro Sito Patrimonio dell'Umanità UNESCO e uno dei più bei esempi del patrimonio antico dello Sri Lanka. Concludete il pomeriggio con un'immersiva visita al villaggio a Sigiriya.

Il secondo giorno vi porta nel Parco Nazionale di Minneriya per un safari di tre ore su jeep dedicato, dove osservate il bordo del bacino alla ricerca di elefanti e altra fauna selvatica. La vostra guida autista vi accompagna durante entrambi i giorni. Si noti che l'alloggio per il pernottamento, i pasti, i biglietti d'ingresso e le mance non sono inclusi — la vostra guida può consigliarvi le opzioni disponibili in loco.
