• Day 3: Sigiriya Fortress & Exclusive Sri Lankan dinner

  Challenge yourself this morning by climbing up more than 1,200 steps up to the top of Sigiriya. Though sweaty and puffy, you will never regret it, especially when you are amazed by its vivid frescos, elaborate palace complex, and mystical history. From high above, the water garden system at the foot of the rock is impressive. Look around, endless lush green jungles expanding away and melding with the blue horizon.

  The afternoon is yours for relaxation. Indulge in a luxurious spa experience, promoting ultimate invigoration for your mind, body, and soul. Or, hop on a bike, jeep, or tuk-tuk, traveling into the lush Sri Lankan countryside, alongside paddy fields and rural vegetable plantations. Tonight, in an exclusive space set in the greenery of your hotel, enjoy a delectable Sri Lankan dinner with your beloved, immersed in the soothing chirps of birdlife and the soft rustling of leaves.

• Day 4: Sigiriya, Free Day

  It is a free day at your disposal.

  Every year from May to October, hundreds of Asian elephants gather at the Minneriya National Park, about 30 km away from Sigiriya. Nature lovers may like to spend a day observing these gentle giants grazing and lazing on fresh grass from receded water.

  About 70km northwest of Sigiriya is the Anuradhapura, the heart of ancient Ceylon civilization. This time-honored city is full of magnificent stupas, including the brilliantly white Ruwanwelisaya that enshrines two quarts of the Buddha's relics. Equally significant is the Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi, reputedly under which the Buddha gained enlightenment. History fans or Buddhism believers may opt for an excursion to Anuradhapura.

  Have you tried hot-air ballooning? Leave the bounds of the earth when morning mist lifting and float over the vast land teeming with richness and increase.

  Later on, take a three-hour drive to Kandy. There, you will visit the UNESCO-listed Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic, one of the most sacred places of worship in the Buddhist world, and watch the Buddhist followers from local or afar worshipping intensely.

  Taking a train wind through Sri Lanka's green tea plantations with smiling workers waving at you, pass by villages with locals getting on and off, drift into cloud forests, and get closer into the low-lying clouds - what a journey through a brightly-colored painting! Such a scenic journey from Kandy to Nuwara Eliya takes around 3-4 hours, much longer than driving, but will be a beautiful adventure.
