Vollständige Beschreibung

Von Kandy nach Trincomalee ist eine lange Fahrt mit den zwei besten Staetten des Landes fast genau auf der Route, was es zu einer echten Verschwendung macht, sie als blossen Transfer zu machen.

Sigiriya kommt zuerst und fruh. Die Zitadelle aus dem fuenften Jahrhundert auf dem Granitpfropfen hat 1.200 Stufen, vorbei an den Spiegelwand-Fresken und den Lowenpfoten, mit symmetrischen Wassergaerten darunter, die nach fuenfzehnhundert Jahren noch funktionieren. Sie am Morgen zu besteigen, macht den Unterschied zwischen einer guten Stunde und einer harten.

Dambulla ist fuenfzehn Minuten entfernt: fuenf Hoehlen, unter einem Granituberhang geschnitten und zweitausend Jahre lang vom Boden bis zur Decke bemalt, mit rund 150 Buddha-Statuen. Kuehl und dunkel, was am spaeten Vormittag willkommen ist.

Von Dambulla sind es etwa zweieinhalb Stunden nordoestlich nach Trincomalee, und die Landschaft flacht und trocknet unterwegs aus. Trincomalee hat einen der schoensten natuerlichen Tiefwasserhaefen der Welt, den Koneswaram-Tempel auf einer Klippe darueber, und die Strände von Uppuveli und Nilaveli, die von Mai bis September auf der trockenen Seite der Insel liegen, genau dann, wenn die Suedkueste unbeschwimmbar ist.

Sigiriya ist eine 200 Meter hohe Felssaeule, die aus der Ebene der Trockenzone aufsteigt, auf der Koenig Kasyapa im fuenften Jahrhundert seinen Palast errichtete, nachdem er den Thron an sich gerissen hatte, und es ist seit 1982 eine UNESCO-Staette. Der Aufstieg umfasst etwa 1.200 Stufen auf Treppen und Eisenstegen, vorbei an der Spiegelwand mit ihren tausend Jahre alten Graffiti und der geschuetzten Galerie mit Fresken, bis zu den Lowenpfoten, die dem Felsen seinen Namen geben, und den Palastgrundmauern auf dem Gipfel. Es dauert fuer die meisten Leute anderthalb Stunden hin und zurueck und sollte am besten um 7:00 Uhr beginnen, vor der Hitze und den Reisebussen; das Ticket fuer auslaendische Besucher ist eines der teuersten im Land, und Pidurangala, der benachbarte Felsen, bietet den klassischen Blick auf Sigiriya fuer einen Bruchteil davon.

This excursion is a great way if you want to go to the Eadt Coast from Kandy. Sura, my driver, is very friendly and so patient. We visited an amazing temple (SLR1000) drove to the Dambulla Caves (SLR33000), Lion Rock (USD32), had a great lunch at the lake (village tour SLR5000) and then the best part, took a jeep (USD60) to go to Minneriya national park (USD23). Yes, all in all it is expensive but so worth it! It is manageable to do everything within one day and I had the best time with Sura. Thank you again !

2 Guides, die aber kaum Englisch sprachen, demnach fast keine Erklärungen. Es waren anscheinend keinerlei Entry Fees inkludiert, so dass sich die Kosten auf über 200,- USD beliefen. Dies müsste zumindest bei der Buchung angegeben werden. Scheinbar auch kein fester Ablauf: Dambulla nur auf Nachfrage meinerseits, eine Jeep Safari gab es nicht. Sigiriya Rock gegen Mittag erreicht, was letztlich völlig unsinnig ist. Bei den Menschenmassen waren ständiges Anstehen und Gedränge die Folge (1h für ca. 200m). Ich habe den Aufstieg dann völlig entnervt abgebrochen. Hier macht nur Morgens ein Besuch Sinn

Wir hatten eine tolle Tour von Kandy nach Trincomalee. Unser Tourguide Chanaka war ein vorsichtiger Fahrer und hat die Tour perfekt nach unseren Interessen angepasst! Wir können die Tour nur weiterempfehlen! Vielen Dank nochmal!

Häufige Fragen

Hotel pickup in Kandy; the exact address and time are confirmed after booking.
The price does not cover entrance fees at sigiriya and dambulla, meals and drinks, gratuities, personal expenses.. Everything it does cover is listed in full on this page, so if something is not on that list, budget for it separately.
Unless the option says private, this runs as a small group. The operator caps it rather than filling a coach, and if you want it to yourselves the private option is priced separately on this page.
Pekoe Lanka Tours. We book with them directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can confirm your place with the operator before taking it as final.
We confirm your booking with the operator before we treat it as final, and we need at least one day's notice outside India. Once it is confirmed you get the meeting point, the time and a contact number for the day. If the operator cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Every guide maintains a minimum 4.5-star rating to remain active on our platform.
Roughly 1,200 steps, about 180 m above the plain, with handrails the whole way. Entry is around USD 30-35 for foreign adults — one of South Asia's priciest tickets — paid in cash. Climb at the 7am opening: there is no shade above the frescoes. Full detail in our Sigiriya rock guide.
It is cheaper and has the better view — of Sigiriya. What it does not have is the water gardens, frescoes, mirror wall, lion's paws or summit palace. For the photograph, take Pidurangala. For the site, take Sigiriya. Compared properly in our Sigiriya rock guide.
Roughly June to September, peaking in August, when the shrinking reservoir exposes fresh grass and several hundred elephants converge. Outside those months the herds disperse and you get a normal safari. Operators switch between Minneriya, Kaudulla and Hurulu depending on where the herds are — that is them doing their job. See our Minneriya gathering guide.
Five caves under one granite overhang, in continuous use since the 1st century BC, holding around 150 Buddha images and 2,100 m² of painting. The approach is a steep 15-minute climb; shoes come off at the top terrace, so bring socks. See the Dambulla cave temple guide.
Polonnaruwa if you have one morning — compact, cyclable in three hours, and the Gal Vihara is the finest sculpture in the country. Anuradhapura if you have a full day and an interest in living Buddhism; it is a thousand years older and still an active pilgrimage city. See Polonnaruwa and Anuradhapura.
Sigiriya is in the dry zone and follows the *northeast* monsoon — its wet season is October to January, the opposite of Colombo. Best months are May to September, which is also the elephant Gathering. See best time to visit Sigiriya.
Two nights in Sigiriya, Dambulla or Habarana. Day 1: the rock at 7am, Dambulla late morning, a 3pm safari. Day 2: Polonnaruwa by bicycle or Pidurangala at sunrise. Our Sigiriya 2-day itinerary sets out the order and why it matters.
Time it for a puja — 5.30am, 9.30am or 6.30pm. Those are the only windows when the upper relic chamber opens and the hevisi drummers play; outside them you are visiting a beautiful building rather than a ceremony. Take socks: shoes come off at the gate and the stone courtyard gets painfully hot. Full detail in our Temple of the Tooth guide.
February for the clearest weather, or July-August, which is drier here than most people expect and covers the Esala Perahera. Kandy sits between Sri Lanka's *two* monsoons and catches some of both, so it has no long dry season — but it also never has a season that is a write-off. See best time to visit Kandy.
Reserved seats open 30 days ahead and sell out within hours from December to March. Unreserved 2nd/3rd class is sold on the day and always available — you will stand, which is where the open doorways and the famous photographs are. Sit on the right-hand side going south. Note there is no Nuwara Eliya station; the stop is Nanu Oya, 10 km away. See our Kandy to Ella train guide.
July or August — but the dates move every year with the lunar calendar, so any guide naming a fixed week is guessing. It runs ten nights and ends on the Nikini poya. Book accommodation on the route six to twelve months ahead. Details in our Esala Perahera guide.
Sigiriya and Dambulla (2.5 hrs each way) is the best of them. Kitulgala rafting is 2 hrs, the Knuckles range and Pekoe Trail stages are day hikes from here. Ella, Galle and Yala are *too far* — 4-6 hours each way. See day trips from Kandy.
Two nights. One full day for the town — Bahirawakanda, Peradeniya gardens, the lake and the evening puja — and a second for a hike, a village day or the cultural triangle. Our Kandy 2-day itinerary lays it out hour by hour.
The centre and the lake circuit are walkable. For anything up a hill or out of town, take a tuk-tuk — roughly LKR 100-150/km on the meter, and ride-hailing apps price it automatically with no negotiation. See getting around Kandy.
