Welcome on arrival at the Bandaranaike International Airport by a Sunway Holiday representative and transfer to Colombo, approximately one hours drive south from the airport. Relax during the rest of the day. Sri Lanka’s capital up-to recent times.  Colombo is a fascinating city not only for a comfortable blend of east and west, but also a cozy mixture of the past and present.  It is still the commercial centre of the country. Colombo is divided into 15 zones. The three main zones are Pettah - the bustling bazaar area, Fort - so called as it was a military garrison during the Portuguese and Dutch occupation (16-18 century), the Cinnamon Gardens-now fashionably known as Colombo 07, with its spacious mansions and better residential areas. Over night stay in the Hilton Hotel, Colombo.

After breakfast drive to Kandy.En-route visit the Pinnawela Elephant orphanage. This orphanage was established mainly to house young elephants who find themselves displaced and lost from their natural habitats for various reasons, environmental changes due to development projects, being abandoned by their parents when they fall into pits and ravines. Some animals are found diseased or wounded. They are brought to the orphanage for treatment and to be taken care of. It was established in 1975 and several animals brought here at the inception are now mature enough for breeding, which is the ultimate aim of the institution. Witness the feeding and bathing activities of the elephants. Also visit the botanical gardens in Peradeniya. This garden is noted for its large number and great variety of plants, indigenous as well as introduced.  The gardens contain over 4,000 species and varieties making it one of the best and most valuable collections in the world.
