Sri Lanka is a multinational and a multi religious country and Jaffna is a city where most of its population is Sri Lankan Tamils who are Hindus.

Day 5 and 6 – Trincomalee

The fifth and the sixth day of the tour will be spent in Trincomalee, a port city in the northeastern coast of Sri Lanka.

The main itinerary that we wish to cover while you are here is the Trincomalee is the Trincomalee natural harbor, history says that there has been so many sea battles to conquer this harbor given its geographical location. After the harbor we will take you to see the Fort Fredrick, a fort that was built by the Portuguese which is of rich architectural value. Day five will end with a rich Indian meal at the hotel.

If you can wake up early in the morning on the sixth day you could witness the gorgeous sight of the sun rising from the eastern horizon. The sixth day will be spent in a famous beach in Trincomalee, the Marble Beach.

Sri Lanka being an island is blessed with a gorgeous coastal line and spending a day on beach could give you a typical tropical feel and an experience of warmth, hence we have saved the entire day six for the beach. Here you can either spend the whole day lying on the beach for a perfect tan and dipping in the sea or if you are interested you can engage in a water sport like snorkeling or diving.

Day 7 – Dambulla

We will say goodbye to the beach on the seventh day and reach Dambulla which is also a historical site of the country. Here we will first take you to see the golden temple and the golden statues which will give you a different experience of visiting a temple. After paying your respect to the temple we will take you on a little hike.

The Sigiriya or the Singha- giri, the lions rock was once a palace that was built by a king that ruled Sri Lanka to protect himself from his own brother. This story behind this palace will be explained to you by the tour guide while you are in the site. You could climb the rock for a wonderful sight on top of the surrounding as well as the remains of the palace. Apart from the view and the remains of the palace there are so many other wonders that will leave you mesmerize such as the mirror wall and frescos.

After the hike we will drop you back at the hotel where you will relax and get ready to embark on the next day of your vacation.

Day 8 – Kandy

kandy

The next stop will be Kandy, the cultural capital of Sri Lanka. Kandy is situated in the central province amongst the hills thus this city has a milder climate compared to the other cities that you will visit while on this vacation.

Kandy has so many things to offer for a tourist, the temple of the tooth relic is one, this is the temple where the sacred tooth relic of Lord Buddha is placed, and thus every local visiting Kandy makes sure they pay a visit this sacred temple. So we have included this on our list of itineraries amongst other places of visit. After visiting the temple we will take you to visit the Peradeniya Botanical gardens, the largest botanical garden of the country.

On the evening we will take you back to the Kandy city where you will be able to walk around the famous Kandy Lake and do buy some gifts and souvenirs to take back home.

Colombo

The last two days of the vacation is centered on the commercial capital of Sri Lanka, Colombo. Colombo is a busy city with so many things to do and sight see. This is an old city that has grown up through the time preserving the ancient qualities as well.

Here we have planned a city tour that will take you around Colombo allowing you to explore the landmarks buildings and places of political and economic importance. Colombo is a city that doesn’t go to sleep, a different kind of the world is woken up when the busy day comes to an end. So on the last night we will let you experience the exclusive night life of Colombo. Colombo is a hub of world class restaurants and night clubs that is one of the main reasons why tourists are attracted to this country.

On the tenth and the last day of your holiday we have planned to take you on shopping to the Chinatown of Sri Lanka, Pettah or “Pita Kotuwa” as the locals say. This is the busiest commercial zone in the island, and you name it we have it, literally we have everything under the sun in this Pettah Market.
