    I had a fantastic time exploring Sri Lanka. Colombo was a vibrant introduction, and Dambulla cave temples were awe-inspiring. Sigiriya and Polonnaruwa were historical gems, while Kandy offered a peaceful retreat. Hotels were clean and comfortable. The guides were knowledgeable and provide the history details. Perfect culture and adventure tour Sri Lanka.
