About this experience
Step back into two distinct eras of Sri Lankan history on this 12-hour day tour from Kandy. Climb the dramatic rock fortress of Yapahuwa, a 13th-century stronghold rising from the jungle plains, and study the intricate stone carvings and decorative stairway that mark its entrance. From there, travel to Panduwasnuwara, where the sprawling ruins of an even older kingdom stretch across the landscape — city walls, a citadel, and the vast Panda Wewa, one of the earliest irrigation reservoirs ever constructed in Sri Lanka.
Your English-speaking chauffeur guide collects you directly from your Kandy hotel and keeps you comfortable throughout in an air-conditioned vehicle. A complimentary bottle of water per person is included. Entrance fees, meals, and gratuities are not covered. This is a group tour that covers two remarkable ancient capitals in a single, well-organised day.
