Rock temples and a rock fortress in one day. What I really liked is the private, door-to-door setup and the chance to get some free time at Sigiriya without feeling rushed. You also get a 1-liter bottle of water and…
Sigiriya to Kandy can feel like a rush. This private transfer turns the drive into your route, with an English-speaking driver and unlimited time to stop at places like Dambulla and Vishnu kovil on the way. If you want a…
