+£35 per person
Discover one of Sri Lanka’s most iconic landmarks on an afternoon adventure to the awe-inspiring Sigiriya Rock Fortress, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and true wonder of the ancient world.
Depart with the group for the cultural heartland of Sri Lanka and arrive at Sigiriya, famously known as the Lion Rock. Rising 200 meters above the surrounding jungle, this towering rock outcrop was once a royal citadel in the 5th century.
The climb to the summit is an experience in itself. As you ascend the winding staircases and pathways carved into the rock, you’ll pass centuries-old frescoes, the famed Mirror Wall with its ancient inscriptions, and the impressive Lion’s Paw Terrace that marks the final stage of the climb. At the top, you'll find the ruins of the king’s palace and enjoy breath-taking panoramic views of the lush forests and lakes that stretch for miles in every direction.

Dambulla Rock Temple - 29/01/2026
+£15 per person
Journey with the group to the magnificent Dambulla Rock Temple, one of Sri Lanka’s most iconic cultural and spiritual landmarks. Perched atop a granite outcrop, the temple was originally donated to Buddhist monks in the 1st century BC by King Walagambahu and has remained a sacred pilgrimage site for over two millennia.
Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Dambulla is the most impressive and best-preserved cave temple complex in Sri Lanka. As you climb to the temple entrance, you’ll be rewarded with panoramic views of the surrounding countryside and a sense of timeless serenity.
Inside the complex, five vast caves reveal over 2,000 square meters of vibrant murals and intricately painted ceilings—making this the largest collection of cave paintings in the world. The chambers are filled with over 150 statues of the Buddha, including a breathtaking 14-meter-long reclining Buddha carved directly into the rock.
A visit to Dambulla is not just a cultural highlight, but a spiritual and visual experience that leaves a lasting impression on all who enter its sacred chambers.
