About This Tour
A 13-day private tour spanning Negombo, Sigiriya's rock fortress, the ancient ruins of Polonnaruwa, Kandy, a scenic train to Ella, a Yala safari, and Galle's Dutch Fort. Polonnaruwa and Sigiriya sit close together, so those two days are paced as a single loop from the same hotel rather than moving every night.
