Overview

You will start your tour at 6.00. Our driver will pick you up from your hotel in Colombo and then you'll ride for two hours up to your first destination, Dambadeniya. It is recommended to bring a packed breakfast with you to eat on the way.

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. You will leave for fascinating Yapahuwa at 09:00 hrs and get there by 10:30 hrs.

Yapahuwa was the capital of Sri Lanka right after Dambadeniya when the Dravidians invaded the land. 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. SKU: LK60011300
