Classifieds: Travel | | Sri Lanka Getaway- 2 nights | | Posted By: Concept Voyages at: 1, Feb 2011 5:29:38 PM IST | Day 1 Colombo-Kandy: Upon arrival meet and greet by Concept Voyages representative and transfer from Airport to Kandy. Afternoon proceed for a city tour of Kandy. Kandy was the last capital of the Sri Lankan kings and is a World Heritage Site. The name ''Kandy'' conjures visions of splendour and magnificence. Many of the legends, traditions and folklore are still lovingly kept alive. Drive around the Kandy Lake built by the last Sinhala king, Sri Wickrama Rajasinghe in 1798. Visit the Kandy town and bazaar, the arts and crafts centre, a gem museum and a lapidary. Also visit the Temple of the Tooth Relic in Kandy. Thereafter witness a cultural show. Overnight stay in Kandy
Day 2 Kandy-Colombo: Breakfast at the Hotel. Visit the Botanical Gardens in Peradeniya. This botanical garden was first built as a pleasure garden by a Sinhala king and was expanded by the British. It is 147 acres in extent and provides an amazing variety of trees, plants and flowers. Transfer from Colombo via Pinnawela. The Pinnawela Elephant Orphanage, established in 1975, commenced with seven orphans. Today some of these orphans enjoy the fortune of seeing their grandchildren born in the same location. The original objective of establishing the orphanage inclined more towards tourism, but is soon became a conservation and educational centre. With the help of local and foreign elephant experts, Pinnawela started a scientific captive-breeding programme for elephants. Afternoon proceed for a half day city tour of Colombo. Colombo, like many capital cities in developing countries is fast changing its face. Almost overnight, skyscrapers arise from where old buildings once stood. Yet in some parts, the old world charm is retained. For example, there is a 100-year-old clock tower and several British built colonial buildings. Other places of interest are a Hindu and a Buddhist temple, residential areas where you find the stately homes of the affluent, the Bandaranaike Memorial International Conference Hall (BMICH) - an outright gift to Sri Lanka from the People''s Republic of China & the old parliament. Also visit House of Fashions, ODEL, Noritake ceramic shop & a local souvenir shop. Overnight stay in Colombo
