This full-day tour of Sigiriya and Hiriwadunna starts with an early morning pickup from your Colombo hotel. Be ready for early morning pickup, and then hop into your air-conditioned vehicle for the day. For this private experience, you can choose a group size from one to eight people. You’ll want to either eat breakfast before your pickup time or bring something with you.
Your first stop is in Dambulla at the Sigiriya rock fortress. You can climb to the top of the fortress or further explore the ruins of this ancient civilization.
After your time here, continue on to the village of Hiriwadunna. Walk along the reservoir before taking a bullock ride around to see views of the village. Then, your guide takes you on a short boat cruise on a nearby lake.
Rest up, and enjoy a buffet-style lunch made by the women of the village (own expense). Follow your guide, and journey by rickshaw back the original starting point of your tour where you’ll get escorted back to your hotel in Colombo. Arrive in Colombo in late evening.
