What's Included
Meeting and pickup
Traveler pickup is offered. Kandy area hotels are start tour points. Our Departure time is 6:00am sharp. However, we would vary this time depending on the guests request. But we suggest that the Departure time be before at least 7:00am so that we can slowly complete all stops in the itinerary without rushing. (If the sun had risen when we climb Sigiriya rock, it would have been difficult for us.) In-order for the guide / driver to reach the pick-up location (must be in Kandy), please provide the stay details at least 1 hour prior to departure time.
