Step back in time and explore the ancient capital of Sri Lanka on a full-day guided tour from Sigiriya to Anuradhapura. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world, filled with centuries-old temples, monasteries, stupas, and sacred relics.
With an experienced guide by your side, discover the fascinating history, spirituality, and cultural importance of Anuradhapura before returning to Sigiriya. Founded in the 4th century BC, Anuradhapura served as the royal capital of Sri Lanka for over 1,300 years. It was the heart of Sinhalese civilisation, a thriving centre for Buddhism, and home to engineering marvels such as vast reservoirs and irrigation systems that still inspire awe today.
The city holds immense religious significance, particularly as the site of the Sri Maha Bodhi Tree, a sapling from the original Bodhi tree in India under which Lord Buddha attained enlightenment.
During your guided exploration, visit some of the most important and iconic landmarks of Anuradhapura, including the Sri Maha Bodhi Tree, the Ruwanwelisaya Stupa, the Jetavanaramaya, the Thuparamaya Dagoba, the Abhayagiriya Monastery, the Isurumuniya Temple, and the Twin Ponds (Kuttam Pokuna).
