Historical Sites
Overview
This tour takes you deep into the heart of Sri Lanka’s historic civilisation — from the early Buddhist kingdoms, rock-fortresses and cave-temples, to colonial heritage towns and living traditions. Over 8 days (or adjusted to 7), you’ll explore ancient capitals, UNESCO World Heritage sites, majestic ruins, sacred temples and colonial-era architecture, all while enjoying the relaxed pace and natural beauty of the island. It’s perfect for travellers who are fascinated by history, archaeology, religion, culture and want more than just a beach holiday.
