Dambulla: Sigiriya, Polonnaruwa, and Cave Temple Day Trip

2.Sigiriya, Polonnaruwa, and Cave Temple Day Trip

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 12 reviews · 8 hours · from $50

Travel by private car or van with a driver such as Dinesh to Sigiriya, Polonnaruwa, and Dambulla Cave Temple. You get early access planning, hotel pickup, bottled water refills, photo stops, and flexible timing. Entrance fees, meals, and optional site guides cost extra.

“Esperienza eccezionale, giornata piena con alba sulla meravigliosa cima di Sigirya, a seguire tutto il sito di Polonnaruwa ed infine la cava del tempio d’oro a Dambulla! La mia guida Dinesh è stata molto gentile, premuroso e preciso mi ha guidato per i vari siti e dato utili consigli. Nel tragitto abbiamo anche incontrato scimmie di varie specie ed elefanti selvatici, visto una lotta tra varani d’acqua, insomma anche un piccolo safari inaspettato. Tour estremamente raccomandato per chi vuole vedere tutto nei dintorni e ha poco tempo! Segnalo che serve una buona resistenza fisica e l’abbigliamento giusto”
