Vollständige Beschreibung

Die Dorf-Safari ist der Teil dieses Tages, den die Leute nicht erwarten zu mögen und sich ueblicherweise am besten merken. Sie fuehrt durch Ackerland nahe dem Felsen, einen Ochsenkarren entlang eines Pfads, eine Katamaranfahrt auf einem Stausee, einen Spaziergang durch Reisfelder, und eine in einem Dorfhaus gekochte Mahlzeit.

Davor macht der Tag die Standardfahrt nordwaerts: der Sri-Muthumariamman-Hindu-Tempel in Matale mit seinem bemalten Gopuram, und die Felsentempel von Dambulla, fuenf Hoehlen unter einem Granituberhang, vom Boden bis zur Decke bemalt mit rund 150 Buddha-Statuen.

Sigiriya ist der Aufstieg, 1.200 Stufen hinauf auf einen 200 Meter hohen Granitpfropfen zu einer koeniglichen Zitadelle aus dem fuenften Jahrhundert, vorbei an den Fresken der Spiegelwand und den Lowenpfoten.

All das von Kandy aus im Tuk-Tuk zu machen, ergibt einen langen Tag und einen viel weniger abgeschirmten als einen Van. Sie spueren die Hitze, Sie sehen die Doerfer zwischen den Staetten statt durch eine Scheibe, und der Fahrer ist ein Guide statt ein Chauffeur.

Das Timing zaehlt an diesem Tag mehr als alles andere. Sigiriyas 1.200 Stufen sind offenes Metall und Fels mit fast keinem Schatten, und am spaeten Vormittag sind sowohl die Hitze als auch die Schlange auf den Treppen ernst, ein frueher Start macht den ganzen Unterschied zwischen einem guten Aufstieg und einer Qual. In Dambulla muessen Schultern und Knie bedeckt sein und Schuhe am Eingang ausgezogen werden, und gegen Mittag ist der Steinhof heiss genug, um weh zu tun, also Socken mitnehmen. Von Kandy nach Sigiriya sind es im Tuk-Tuk etwa drei Stunden pro Strecke; dies ist absichtlich ein langer Tag.

Dhanu was amazing. He asked us where we wanted to go & see with no pressure for anything. He waited patiently at each stop and we felt no pressure to hurry or rush. He gave us recommendations about when was a good time to climb the rock due to the heat, keeping us in good supply of water and assisting us with conversations at the locations. At each location he would take loads of photos of us, and send immediately. We would definitely recommend!

I had a great big adventures day! Malik was my tour guide and I was very happy. Suggested and asked the things I wanted to do along the way. Because it was an early start, he also stopped so I could get food and toilet breaks along the way. He was also the best photographer, capturing every moment! Towards the end of the tour we also stopped somewhere and he gave me a Sri Lankan treat. Happy with my day

Tharanga is a very skilled, professional driver. He is also so caring and friendly. He didn’t even hesitate to stop at different places for us to take photos and enjoy the views, answered millions of questions and explained a lot of interesting things. On the way back home he stopped at the market in Dambulla so that we can buy local fruits. So, in short, it was a wonderful trip full of experiences and joyful moments😊

This is a great day trip option from Kandy. My tour guide Dhanu took care of everything. The itinerary includes basic must do things in Sigiriya if you are a little short on time. The route was very scenic and Dhanu stopped at many points for me to take pictures. Overall I would recommend this trip to everyone solo or couple for the amazing tuk tuk experience.

Dhanu made us the best day ever. We would highly recommend him because of his bright knowledge and good stories about Sri Lanka. It was very fun to make a tuk tuk tour with him. If possible, we would give him 12/10 points. We can choose what we wanted to do and he gave us a lot of options. Thank you for this absolutely amazing day!

Our driver Dhanu was great, he drove us to the places we wanted to go, also stopped to a restaurant on request, and gave us some information about Sri Lanka which is always nice to know. We left at 6AM and came back at 3PM.

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, 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.
No, and anyone promising them is guessing. These are wild animals in open country. Early departures give the best odds because that is when animals are active and the light is good.
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.

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.
