Our Itinerary, starting from Kandy:
• Sri Muthumariamman Hindu Temple
• Spice Garden (Though not part of the original plan, it was nice. We learned about indigenous plants, and there was absolutely no pressure to make any purchases. We spent about 30 minutes there.)
• Sigiriya
• Pidurangala Rock
• Dambulla Royal Cave Temple
By the time the trip was booked, Nadith would reach out via WhatsApp to ensure all our questions were answered.
The day we started at 8:30am, it was gloomy, with rain pouring down in buckets. I was nearly convinced we’d have to skip Sigiriya, but I was so grateful that Nadith didn’t suggest canceling the plan due to the weather. Just as we entered the Sigiriya entrance, the clouds began to clear, and the weather gradually improved as we climbed. It was as if the day had decided to turn around in our favor. Thank you, Nadith, for keeping the spirits high and encouraging us to go forward despite the storm!
Nadith shared with me that even in the rain, he had brought other clients to Sigiriya and they still climbed it, as the tickets aren’t exactly cheap (though, of course, you could opt out if you really wanted to). His dedication was evident!
Throughout the day, Nadith was thoughtful, approachable, and incredibly knowledgeable. I gained a deep understanding of Sri Lanka’s rich history as we explored each site together.
What a truly unforgettable day!
A big thank you to Nadith for making it all so special!
