Walk With Kings
A brave king's hideaway during times of war, says one legend & sanctuary to the rag-robe-wearers, a break-away group of monks in ancient times, says another & a fragment of soil from the Himalayas brought by the ape-god Hanuman, says a third. A morning hike to a mountain steeped in myth and mystery, a site of centuries old ruins, a veritable stone monastery that lies in Ritigala's dense jungle. In the afternoon guests will experience the royal mode of transportation - on elephant back! Then, an exploration of the forest, cross a river and survey the surrounding villages, as the kings did, on a one-and-a-half hour elephant ride. Finally, a delicious five-course meal will be served up by the poolside. This includes a taste of the local delicacy-'Olu bath' (Water lily rice).

Package includes: Transport to Ritigala in an A/C van, Bottled water, Entrance fees, Services of a naturalist, Elephant back safari, Dinner and wine.
