8-hour tuk tuk safari from Kandy to Sigiriya with temples, spice gardens, a village visit, and a choice of rock climbs.
“Fazeel was a great guide. Very friendly and helpful. Note that the description tuk tuk is correct - the big four wheel drive you see in the main image is not at all the vehicle you'll be travelling in. So be prepared for a bumpy, smoggy ride - which can be fun - but it is a long day - and you wouldn't want more than 2 in the tuk tuk. Pidurangala Rock was amazing, and the spice garden was interesting, but there is pressure to purchase in the shop, etc. Temples were great, especially Dmnbulla which was a highlight on the trip. I would prefer to have the option…”
