Vollständige Beschreibung

Dies ist der lange Aufstieg, von der Ebene der Trockenzone auf etwa 100 Metern bis nach Nuwara Eliya auf 1.900, quer durch die gesamte Mitte der Insel. Die Landschaft wechselt dreimal, und es lohnt sich anzuhalten, um das zu bemerken.

Dambulla ist der erste Stopp, fuenfzehn Minuten von Sigiriya entfernt: fuenf Hoehlen unter einem Granituberhang, zweitausend Jahre lang durchgehend bemalt, mit rund 150 Buddha-Statuen. Der Zugangsweg ist steiler, als er aussieht.

Matale ist Gewuerzland. Die Gaerten bauen Zimt, Kardamom, Pfeffer, Muskatnuss und Vanille zusammen an, und ein gefuehrter Spaziergang macht die Unterschiede auf eine Weise deutlich, die Lesen darueber nicht kann.

Kandy liegt etwa auf halber Strecke und der Stopp ist kurz, der See und das Aussere des Zahntempels, es sei denn, Sie moechten eine Stunde und die Gebuehr fuer den Eintritt hinzufuegen. Von Kandy steigt die Strasse und haelt nicht an, und um Ramboda weicht der Wald dem Tee.

Sie erreichen Nuwara Eliya am Nachmittag, auf 1.900 Metern, wo die Luft kalt ist und die Stadt noch die Pferderennbahn, den Golfplatz und das Postamt im Tudor-Stil hat, die die Briten zuruecklassen.

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.

We got from Sigiriya to Nuwara Eliya safely. However, based on the description, we were expecting a bit more from the trip. The spice garden is a bit of a rip-off. They explain a lot here, and you can buy the products afterwards for a lot of money. One drawback was that we were recommended weight loss pills 4-5 times... Plus, tipping is expected at several stops (which I hadn't anticipated beforehand). In the end, we saw the temple in Dambulla, the spice garden, the market in Kandy, the waterfall (from very far away), and the tea plantation. That was a real highlight, and a pack of tea cost around €7 here. Also, the tea cake was super tasty! Our driver was super friendly, but a bit reserved.

Häufige Fragen

Hotel pickup in Sigiriya or Dambulla; confirmed after booking.
The price does not cover entrance fees at dambulla and elsewhere, meals and drinks, spice purchases, gratuities.. 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.
Ranweli 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.

Be at the gate for the 6am opening, so leave Nuwara Eliya around 5am. World's End faces south and clouds over by nine or ten as warm air rises off the plain — arrive at eleven and you see a white wall. See our Horton Plains guide.
The town sits at about 1,900 m and drops to around 10°C at night, and few hotels have heating. Horton Plains at 2,300 m regularly sits near freezing before dawn, with ground frost from December to February. Bring a genuine warm layer — most visitors underestimate this.
No — they close on poya days, the monthly full moon and a public holiday in Sri Lanka. If your free day is a poya, take an estate walk with a plucker instead. Plucking happens in the morning; by afternoon the slopes are empty.
Mostly leaf size, not quality. OP is a long wiry whole leaf, BOP is smaller and broken, and fannings and dust go into teabags because the higher surface area brews fast. Bigger leaf is slower tea, not better tea. Explained in our Ceylon tea guide.
At a factory, not a tourist shop. Factory shops carry the higher grades that never reach a visitor shelf; the boxed tea on the main streets is usually fannings at visitor prices.
Nanu Oya, about 10 km and a 20-30 minute drive from the town. Nuwara Eliya has no station of its own, and tuk-tuk fares at Nanu Oya rise sharply the moment a train arrives.
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.
