The Kingdom of Polonnaruwa was the kingdom from which Sri Lankan kings ruled the island from the 8th century until 1310 CE. Polonnaruwa was the fifth administrative center of Rajarata. Sigiriya is an ancient palace located in the central Matale District near the town of Dambulla in the Central Province, Sri Lanka. The name refers to a site of historical and archaeological significance that is dominated by a massive column of rock nearly 200 metres (660 ft) high.  

Dambulla cave temple, is also known as the Golden Temple of Dambulla. It is the largest and best-preserved cave temple complex in Sri Lanka. Major attractions are spread over five caves, which contain statues and paintings. These paintings and statues are related to Gautama Buddha and his life. There are a total of 153 Buddha statues, three statues of Sri Lankan kings and four statues of gods and goddesses.

Optional - You might also consider a jeep safari in Minneriya wildlife sanctuary or an elephant safari at Habarana where you’ll trek through light jungle and across shallow waters.  

You will stay at Heritance Kandalama, designed by Geoffrey Bawa, Sri Lanka’s famous architecture guru. Bawa conceived the hotel `as an austere jungle palace’ and is located on the bund of an ancient reservoir.

Visit the Temple of the Tooth, be dazzled by traditional Kandyan dance and drumming, and perhaps visit the Peradeniya Botanical gardens with their orchid collection and tropical foliage. Stay at Kandy House, a stylishly renovated old colonial mansion amidst tranquil gardens.  

Travel to Beruwala in the Deep South and check-in to Heritance Mahagedara Ayurveda Resort. Here you will spend the next two weeks immersing in holistic wellness where the balance of mind and body is achieved through ancient philosophies of Ayurveda, Yoga and meditation. Surrender to this world of tranquillity and healing.

Filled with renewed energy and vitality, head to Colombo  for your final night’s stay at the Villa Talangama, set on a quiet lakeside. Spend a restful evening on the verandah watching the birds and butterflies. Transfer to the airport next day to catch your flight back home.
