This fascinating hill country city is the perfect place for relaxing. This place is popular for many ancient Buddhist and Hindu temples and among them, the most renowned is the temple of 'Dalada Maligawa'(The Temple of the Tooth). Apart from that, this city has the largest and beautiful botanical garden in the island, known as Peradeniya Botanical Garden. TOUR HIGHLIGHTS: Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage, Temple of Tooth Relic and Kandy city tour, Bentota beach and Madu River safari, Colombo highlights and shopping tour.

Pinnawala has the largest herd of captive elephants in the world, where you may have the opportunity to feed them and give them a bath at the nearby river. Thereafter, proceed to Kandy, the capital of the last Sinhalese kingdom. It's set on a plateau surrounded by mountains, which are home to tea plantations and bio diverse rainforests. Kandy is also famous for its sacred Buddhist sites, including the Temple of the Tooth Relic. In the afternoon, you’ll enjoy a walk around Kandy's busy city centre, including a tour of the Central Market, before engaging with a cultural dance show which is inspired by Sri Lankan arts, traditional dance and cultural heritage.

Activities:
In the morning, you will visit the Royal Botanical Garden, which is one of the best botanical gardens in Asia. Thereafter, you will be heading towards Bentota. It is a breathtaking sandy beach that pretty much transforms your dreams and visions of a tropical paradise into an everyday reality. It is truly a symbol of peace, calmness and cleanness. There is plenty of space for everyone to settle in perfectly and to enjoy a sunbath to the fullest. In the afternoon, if you are up to it, you could visit a turtle hatchery center in Kosgoda. Both locals and international volunteers are battling for the protection of sea turtles since they are endangered creatures. This place, apart from its traditional fishery industries and cinnamon cultivations, was later recognized by the Wildlife Protection Society which studded the region with a Sea Turtle Conservation Project that operates on a formidable scale. Overnight stay in Bentota.
Activities:
After breakfast, you’ll visit the capital city of Colombo, which has an interesting history running back to the fifth century.

The colourful streets, restaurants and modern shopping malls attract hordes of locals and tourists alike. In Colombo, you have the opportunity to visit the most highlighted places in the city and also do some last-minute shopping as well.
