Experience the grandeur and magnificence of the two capitals, Colombo and Kandy. Colombo, the hustling and bustling capital of modern Sri Lanka is a trace of development under the Western Rules. Now Colombo is the political, economic, and cultural center of Sri Lanka. The elegant avenues and high skyscrapers are all the legacy of the colonization, making Colombo the striking capital. Meanwhile, going further into the hill country in the central highlands of Sri Lanka, you will experience Kandy, the capital of the last kingdom of Sri Lanka. This is where a long string of Sinhalese kings exerted his imperial power and where Buddhism flourished. Nowadays, Kandy is still the capital of the hill country and still retains the distinctly Sinhalese tradition.

DAY 01: KANDY.
Upon arrival at Kandy our representative will meet you at the Airport followed by a transfer to your hotel. In the afternoon enjoy a tour of Kandy, the last capital of the Sri Lankan Kings.

Visit the Kandy Bazaar/market, a Gem lapidary, the Botanical Gardens in Peradeniya which were originally the pleasure gardens of the Royalty. Nearly 4000 species of plants are found in this garden and it is encircled by the Mahaweli River. This evening visit the Temple of the Tooth Relic before watching a cultural show.

DAY 02: KANDY- PINNAWALA-COLOMBO.
After breakfast at hotel, proceed to Colombo en route visiting the Pinnawela Elephant Orphanage. The Orphanage established in 1975, commenced with seven orphans. Today some of these orphans enjoy the fortune of seeing their grandchildren born in the same location. The original objective for establishing the orphanage was more inclined towards tourism, but soon became a conservation and educational centre. With the help of local and foreign elephant experts, Pinnawela started a scientific captive-breeding programme for elephants. The free movement of the herd enhanced the chances for elephants of both sexes to get together and mate. The nearby river played a dominant role in this regard, and in 1984, the first Pinnawela baby was born. Their success has drawn the attention of scientists from all over the world. A considerable number of books and research articles on Pinnawela have been published in several languages. The members of the Pinnawela herd have been filmed, videoed and photographed thousands of times by professionals. Enjoy a city tour of Colombo. Colombo like many capital cities in developing countries is fast changing its face. Almost overnight, skyscrapers arise from where old buildings once stood yet in some parts the old world charm is retained. For example, there is a 100-year-old clock tower and several British built colonial buildings. Other places of interest are Pettah Bazaar - where one can shop for bargains, a Hindu and a Buddhist temple, residential areas where you find the stately homes of the affluent, the Bandaranaike Memorial International Conference Hall - a gift from the People's Republic of China. Overnight in Colombo. |
