Landing at Colombo Bandaranaike International Airport at 06:10 local time in the early hours of the new day. After our passport and luggage procedures and being greeted at the airport, we set off towards Pinnawela. Upon arrival in the region, we start the day with breakfast at Pinnalanda Restaurant. After our breakfast, we visit the Pinnawela Elephant Orphanage, which began its activities in 1975 with seven orphan elephants. Today, the facility, which has turned into a deep-rooted center where the grandchildren of those first orphans are witnessed to be born under the same roof, was established with a tourism focus in its early years, but quickly became one of the most important conservation and education centers in the region. Thanks to the scientific conservation and breeding program carried out with the contributions of local and foreign elephant experts, the natural and free movement of the herd has been supported; and with the possibilities offered by the river, the first baby elephant of Pinnawela was born in 1984. Many books and research articles have been written in many languages on this success story that attracted the attention of scientists from all over the world; the residents of the orphanage have been the subject of documentaries and photographs thousands of times by professionals. After our visit, we carry out our transfer to the Sigiriya region. Free time after check-in to our hotel and settling into rooms. Dinner and overnight stay at our hotel.

This magnificent fortress, called "Lion Rock" and extending 200 meters high in the middle of scrub forests, is located in the most protected heart of the ancient city surrounded by 70 hectares of walls. The rock is surrounded by wide landscape areas including water moats, walls, and world-famous water gardens. During our visit, we will visit the world-famous "Heavenly Maidens" frescoes located in a protected part of the rock and reached by spiral stairs. After examining these unique wall paintings depicted with earth paints on plaster, we return to our hotel to rest and enjoy our breakfast. In the late afternoon, we set off towards the Dambulla region (approximately 30 minutes) and visit the Dambulla Cave Temple, which was built in the 1st century BC by King Walagambahu and is also on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Considered the most impressive cave temple of Sri Lanka, this complex hosts the world's largest collection of temple paintings with more than 2,000 square meters of painted wall and ceiling area. In the structure consisting of five separate caves containing more than 150 statues and depictions of Buddha, the massive 14-meter long reclining Buddha statue carved from a single rock stands out. After the completion of our visit, return to our hotel. Dinner and overnight stay at our hotel.
