Top Colombo Natural Attractions

Bundle three attractions—Sigiriya, Dambulla, and Minneriya National Park— into one comfortable outing on this private day trip from Kandy. Rather than spending time organizing a DIY excursion, travel easily to the sights by private vehicle. Explore Dambulla’s temples, see Sigiriya Rock, visit points of interest en route, and take a game drive through Minneriya to see its wild elephants and other species. Hotel pickup and drop-off provide added convenience.
