(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
NegomboPass-by Only
Negombo, located on the west coast of Sri Lanka, is renowned for its picturesque beaches and vibrant fishing industry. With its Dutch colonial architecture, bustling fish markets, and diverse cuisine, Negombo offers a blend of cultural charm and seaside relaxation for visitors to enjoy.
Dambadeniya Ancient Kingdom Museum
The kingdom of Dambadeniya was at its peak during the mid-thirteenth century, especially during the reign of King Parakramabahu II. He was a peaceful king who brought Sinhalese literature to new heights with his epic poetic masterpieces ‘Kavisilumina’ and ‘Visuddi Marga Sannasa’. You will get to see the recently excavated remains of the old Temple of the Tooth, where the Tooth Relic was housed previously, and the ruins of the royal palace complex with its gardens, walls and moats.
Yapahuwa Ancient Kingdom
Yapahuwa was the capital of Sri Lanka right after Dambadeniya, when the Dravidians invaded. The fortress was built on a giant rock in the style of the Sigiriya rock fortress. However, the architecture of this fortress is completely different from Sigiriya with wide staircases, beautiful stone sculptures and highly detailed carvings on pillars. On your visit you will be able to climb to the fortress and view the ruins of the stupa on the summit of the rock. The stupa has some notable statues and imagery from the Kandyan era that you can peruse.
