Romantic Climes Tour

This tour will take you from Negombo to the mystery of the cultural triangle where you can explore the mysterious and awe-inspiring ruins of the palatial complexes of Polonnaruwa and Sigiriya, and experience the breath-taking early morning vistas from a hot air balloon over the wilderness.

From here you will ascend towards the hill capital of Kandy with its own charm and sanctity as the home of the sacred Tooth Relic, with a quick stop at the amazing Golden Temple in Dambulla, before climbing even further towards the misty climes of Hatton and its meandering train journey through the hills and tea estates.
