    This trip through Sri Lanka was unforgettable. Sigiriya ancient rock fortress was the highlight, and Polonnaruwa ruins were amazing. Kandy was a peaceful stop, and Nuwara Eliya weather was perfect. The hotels were cozy, and the guides were friendly, making the whole experience informative and enjoyable. A must-do trip.

    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.
