A Taste of Sri Lanka Tour
Continue later to Kandy, visiting one of the spice gardens in Matale en route to discover the island’s variety of indigenous spices and learn about their uses with a Cookery demonstration.
Arriving in Kandy you are taken on a city tour to learn about this World Heritage Site as the last capital of the Sri Lankan kings. Drive around the Kandy Lake built by the last Sinhala king, Sri Wickrama Rajasinghe in 1798 before a visit to the bazaar, and optionally the arts and crafts centre, a gem museum and a lapidary. After checking in to Earl’s Regency Hotel (or similar) for two nights’ stay (BB)and time to relax, your driver will collect you for an evening visit the Temple of the Tooth Relic and attend a cultural Sri Lankan dance show
Afterwards there’s time to visit the 147 acres of Royal Peradeniya botanical garden, first built as a pleasure garden by a Sinhala king and extended by the British with an amazing variety of trees, shrubs and flowers.
Near Nuwara Eliya is Sri Lanka s highest mountain, Pidurutalagala (8282 feet) and you may see some of the dramatic waterfalls in this region, against the green mountain slopes. The rest of today will be at leisure for you to enjoy perhaps a walk or just soaking up the scenery.

Cinnamon Lodge Habarana
Sri Lanka, Habarana
Cinnamon Lodge Habarana is a tranquil, superior property set in 27 acres of natural foliage and lush vegetation, complete with animal inhabitants – expect to see monkeys, squirrels and mongoose from your breakfast table!
Located in Habarana, approximately four hours drive from Colombo airport, this property is an ideal base from which to explore some of Sri Lanka’s highlights: Sigiriya Rock Fortress, Polonnaruwa and Minneriya National Park are all within an hours drive of the property; Pinnawela Elephant Orphanage approximately 2 ½ hours drive.
The 140 rooms and suites are set in chalets, dotted amidst the vegetation so it’s advisable to keep balcony and terrace doors closed from prying monkeys! We would recommend upgrading from the Superior to the larger Deluxe Rooms which have been recently refurbished.
Facilities ay Cinnamon Lodge Habarana include a large swimming pool with shallow area for children, choice of restaurants, bar and small spa.
Please Note: Cinnamon Lodge Habarana will be closed for major refurbishment from 01 May 2010 – 30 June 2010. Thereafter the hotel will operate in partial capacity until October 2010, during which period 117 rooms will be in operation. In October 2010 Cinnamon Lodge Habarana will be launched as a fully fledged 5-star resort.
Superior Rooms - are located on the ground and first floors and overlook the natural vegetation
Deluxe Rooms - are slightly larger, with a living area and a DVD player. The bathrooms have a seperate shower and bathtub. In room spa treatments and butler service on request
Suites - have a master bedroom and bathroom upstairs and a second bedroom and bathroom downstairs, as well as a large lounge and dining area. Butler service included.

You’re spoilt for choice of places to see and do in Sri Lanka, whether it be the beaches, the forest monasteries of Anuradhapura, climbing over ‘Budda’s own footprint’ to reach the pilgrimage site of Adma’s Peak or simply indulging in some ancient holistic therapy known as Ayurveda.

I love Sri Lanka for its diversity.
How many places can you visit in a couple of weeks and take in the culture, wildlife and the beach all in one country? Welcome to Sri Lanka. I would highly recommend taking a private tour, visiting the amazing Dambulla caves and climbing the ancient fort of Sigariya when on a Sri Lanka holiday. A tip for you – it’s definitely worth hiring a local guide at Sigariya to climb with you, to learn all about this amazing rock!Read moreHowever, the highlight of my trip was a visit to the Elephant orphanage where you will be able to see these stunning animals in their natural environment before watching them at feeding time – an experience not to be missed for any animal lover! After the tour, what better way to unwind on one of Sri Lanka's beautiful sandy beaches before thinking about heading back home.
