Welcome to Sri Lanka! Meet and Greet at the Airport
Negombo - Sigiriya
: It offers a blend of history, religion, and art. The five caves are filled with stunning murals and over 150 statues of Buddha and other deities. The climb to the temple provides panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. This is a must-do for anyone interested in Sri Lankan art and history.
Sigiriya - Polonnaruwa
Sigiriya The Ancient Rock Fortress
This is a truly iconic Sri Lankan landmark. The climb to the top is an adventure in itself, with a staircase carved into the rock. Highlights include the famous Sigiriya frescoes (the 'Maiden' paintings') and the 'Mirror Wall.' The summit offers incredible 360-degree views and the ruins of the ancient palace. It's a challenging but highly rewarding experience.
Ancient City of Polonnaruwa
Polonnaruwa is an excellent destination for history buffs and cyclists. The ruins are spread out and best explored by bicycle, offering a fun and active way to see the ancient city. Key sites include the Royal Palace, the Gal Vihara (with its four magnificent Buddha statues carved from a single rock), and the Lankatilaka Vihara.
Sigiriya - Kandy
Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic
This is a spiritual and cultural cornerstone of Sri Lanka. Visitors can witness daily ceremonies (pujas) where the public is allowed to view the casket holding the relic. The temple's architecture is beautiful, and the atmosphere is deeply reverent. It's a profound cultural experience and a key part of any visit to Kandy.

5.00⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ We had an unforgettable experience with Indigo Tours Sri Lanka! From the moment we arrived, everything was handled with care and professionalism. The team went above and beyond to make sure my family and I felt comfortable, safe, and truly immersed in the beauty of Sri Lanka. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing not only the history and culture but also the hidden gems we would never have discovered on our own. The itinerary was perfectly balanced between sightseeing, relaxation, and family-friendly activities. Every detail — from transportation to accommodations — was seamless, allowing us to enjoy the journey without any stress. What impressed us most was the personal touch. We never felt like “just tourists” — instead, we felt genuinely welcomed, like friends exploring the country together. Thanks to Indigo Tours, we’ve created lifelong memories and can’t wait to return. Highly recommend this company to anyone visiting Sri Lanka — you will be in the best hands!
Excellent trip
