Description

Your private Sri Lankan holiday is the perfect opportunity to combine culture and relaxation in amazing settings. Sri Lanka is known for its Buddhist culture and heritage and there are plenty of sites on this tour to give you an understanding of this central tenet of Sri Lankan life. What is more, the monuments and temples that you will encounter cannot fail to amaze. From your Habarana base you will visit a range of sites, the close proximity means that you will have time to relax and be ready for a new adventure the next day. The Dambulla Cave Temple will leave you awestruck. Towering 150m above the plain on its rock base, the complex offers a range of amazing range of statues and murals from its 2,000 years of history. At Aukana you will see the beautifully preserved 12 metre high statue of Buddha cared out of the granite rock face. Sigiraya Rock Fortress was once described in 1907 by John Still: "The whole face of the hill appears to have been a gigantic picture gallery... the largest picture in the world perhaps.” This fortress built on a rocky column some 200 metres above the plain is one of the best-preserved examples of ancient urban planning. The impressive water gardens below might compete for your attention as much as the fantastic frescoes above. Your Sri Lanka holiday is rounded off with a three -night stay in Beruwala, where you can enjoy the pleasures of the beach. Sri Lanka is surely the perfect holiday for combining culture and relaxation.
