A Journey Through Culture, Heritage, and Coast

The 7 Nights Glimpse of Sri Lanka is designed for travellers who want to experience the island’s most iconic cultural landmarks before unwinding on its beautiful southern beaches. In seven nights you move through ancient kingdoms, sacred temples, and spice-scented hill towns — then slow right down with four days of pure beach leisure.

Cultural Highlights

Sigiriya Rock Fortress

Rising 200 metres above the surrounding jungle, Sigiriya is one of Asia’s most remarkable archaeological sites. Built by King Kashyapa in the 5th century AD, this UNESCO World Heritage Site served as both a royal palace and a fortress, with frescoed galleries, water gardens, and panoramic views from the summit.

Polonnaruwa Ancient City

Sri Lanka’s second ancient kingdom is best explored by bicycle, weaving through a sprawling complex of royal palaces, Buddha statues, and dagobas that date back to the 11th and 12th centuries. The blend of Sinhala and South Indian architecture makes Polonnaruwa unlike anywhere else on the island.

Kandy and the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic

The last royal capital of the Sinhala kings sits among misty hills 115 km from Colombo. At its heart is the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic — one of Buddhism’s most revered pilgrimage sites — set within the former royal palace complex on the shores of Kandy Lake.

Southern Beach Leisure

After three days of cultural immersion, the tour settles into a slower rhythm on Sri Lanka’s southern coast. With four nights at a 5-star beachfront property, you have the time to swim, relax, and explore the coastline entirely on your own terms — no schedules, no early starts.
