Experience:

You will be starting your tour at 0600 hrs from your hotel in Negombo, where you will be picked up by your chauffeur. The first stop on your itinerary will be the Sigiriya Rock Fortress which you will reach by approximately 0900 hrs.

Rising from the central plains, the iconic rocky outcrop of Sigiriya is perhaps Sri Lanka's single most dramatic sight. Near-vertical walls soar to a flat-topped summit that contains the ruins of an ancient civilization, thought to be once the epicenter of the short-lived kingdom of Kassapa, and there are spellbinding vistas across mist-wrapped forests in the early morning. Sigiriya refuses to reveal its secrets easily, and you'll have to climb a series of vertiginous staircases attached to sheer walls to reach the top. On the way you'll pass a series of quite remarkable frescoes and a pair of colossal lion's paws carved into the bedrock. The surrounding landscape – lily-pad-covered moats, water gardens and quiet shrines – and the excellent site museum, only add to Sigiriya's rock-star appeal.

After an amazing experience of a Sri Lanka at approximately 1400 hrs proceed to Minneriya National Park to go on lovely safari.

On completion of the jeep safari at approximately 1800 hrs and return to your hotel in Negombo.
