Discover the ancient grandeur of Anuradhapura, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. This sacred city was the capital of Sri Lanka from the 4th century BC to the 11th century AD and served as the spiritual heart of Theravada Buddhism for centuries.
Located about 205 km north of Colombo, in Sri Lanka’s North Central Province, Anuradhapura is home to an awe-inspiring collection of stupas, monasteries, stone carvings, and vast irrigation systems, many of which still stand proudly today. From massive dagobas and ancient pools to sacred bodhi trees and royal ruins, each stop on your tour tells the story of a powerful civilization that shaped the island’s history.
Most of these sites are now sacred religious places, so visitors are kindly asked to dress modestly and behave respectfully throughout the tour.
