Day 01: Aitport to Clilaw & Kandy

Your journey starts at Bandaranaike International Airport, where your chauffeur will be ready to take you straight to Chilaw.

First stop — Munneswaram Temple, a sacred site believed to predate the Ramayana itself, where Lord Rama sought the blessings of Lord Shiva after his victorious battle. Just five kilometres away, Manavari Temple houses the first Shiva Lingam personally installed by Lord Rama — still known today as Ramalinga Shivan. From Chilaw, the road winds inland to Kandy, where the evening is reserved for the Sri Dalada Maligawa, the Temple of the Tooth Relic. Round off the night with a walk through Kandy's local markets.
