This 5-day introduction to Sri Lanka covers Sigiriya Rock Fortress and Dambulla's cave temples in the Cultural Triangle, plus Kandy's Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic and Peradeniya Botanical Gardens.
The trip is bookended by beach nights in Negombo. Sigiriya and Dambulla sit in the dry north-central plains and are accessible year-round, so this works as a short break any time.
Everything below is fully customizable. Add nights, swap activities, or change hotels.
