monks upon returning from exile to his throne at Anuradhapura he had the magnificent cave temple built for them. The cave
temple consists of a complex of Buddhist image houses. Its rock ceiling is one large sweep of colourful frescoes, some of
which dates back to over 2,000 years, which depicts Buddhist mythology, and the tales of the Buddha's previous births.
This cave temple has the largest number of Buddha statues all housed in one place, including a 14 meter long, colossal
figure of the recumbent Buddha carved out of the rock.

(Optional – RM 105 per person) Sigiriya Rock Fortress is home to the 5th Century “Fortress in the Sky” which is perhaps the most
fantastic single wonder of the Island. It is also known as Lion Rock because of the huge lion that used to stand at the entrance to
the fortress. Within its triple- moated defence the huge rock rises almost to a sheer height of 500ft. On its summit are the
foundations of what was once a great and sumptuous palace and gardens complete with swimming pool. On one of the stairways
the only known ancient work of Sinhala secular painting survived in the form of Frescoes of life sized damsels in all the freshness
and delicacy of their original colour.

After breakfast proceed to Nuwara Eliya Nuwara Eliya: Enjoy “Tea experience”, which involves a visit a plantation to observe
firsthand the process, starting from the plucking field where it all begins with the picking of “two leaves and a bud” to the factory
where the processing begins. Originally introduced to the island around 1850 by the British, Ceylon Tea is world famous for its
high quality and has remained a major contributor to the island’s economy for generations. Currently, Sri Lanka is one of largest
exporter of tea worldwide. The high altitudes produce the best flavours, so Sri Lanka’s hill-country is the ideal environment to
grow the most flavorsome tea. A guided tour around a Tea Factory is an enlightening experience. Nuwara Eliya The ‘Little England’
of Sri Lanka, is set against beautiful backdrops of Mountains, Valleys, Waterfalls and Tea Plantations. It is supposed to be one of
the coolest places in the Island, but it is really just like an English spring day, although the temperature does drop at night.
All around Nuwara Eliya you will see evidence of the British influence, houses like country cottages or Queen Ann style mansions.
The Victoria Park, in the middle of the town, is a lovely place for a stroll or a picnic and is also good for Birding as you get some
rare birds in this Park. Seasons may be absent elsewhere in Sri Lanka, but here you can read them by the flowers.

Galle Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, originally built by the Portuguese and then further developed by the Dutch and the British, covers
nearly four sq kms, and is protected by 12 bastions and connecting ramparts. During the early 18th century the Old Dutch Gate was the entrance
point to the Fort. Subsequently the British built the Main Gate which is still used today. Buildings of interest include the Dutch Reformed Church, All
Saints Church, Amangalla Hotel (formerly the New Oriental Hotel), and the lighthouse and bell tower. The Dutch also developed what was then an
innovative tide-based sewage-system within the Fort. A maze of narrow roads lined with small houses and shops with Dutch names still remain.
