Step back in time as we journey from Anuradhapura to the ancient city of Polonnaruwa. Explore majestic ruins, intricate temples, and royal palaces.
Let’s step into the fascinating world of Polonnaruwa, where ancient history comes alive. Our “Polonnaruwa Ancient City All Inclusive Day Tour From Sigiriya” promises an unforgettable journey:
We’ll start our day early, leaving Sigiriya behind as we head towards Polonnaruwa. The scenic drive sets the tone for the adventure ahead.

As we enter the ancient city, prepare to be awestruck. Polonnaruwa was once the thriving capital of Sri Lanka, and its ruins tell tales of grandeur. Our knowledgeable guide will introduce you to the historical context—the reign of kings, the rise and fall of dynasties.

Explore the remnants of the Royal Palace—a complex of majestic buildings, audience halls, and chambers. Imagine the opulence, the whispered secrets, and the weight of responsibility that rested on these walls.

The Quadrangle/watadageya is a sacred space—a cluster of temples, stupas, and statues. Admire the intricately carved moonstones, the serene Buddha statues, and the imposing Lankatilaka Vihara. Feel the spiritual energy that still lingers.

Gal Vihara houses four colossal Buddha statues carved into the living rock. Each figure—standing, seated, reclining—exudes tranquility. Take a moment to absorb their timeless gaze.

Our tour wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the massive Parakrama Samudra—a man-made reservoir. Stand on its bund, gaze across the water, and imagine the ancient engineers who designed this marvel.

Step into the Polonnaruwa Museum, where artifacts come alive. Learn about the city’s evolution, its cultural heritage, and the archaeological discoveries that continue to unravel its mysteries.

We’ll pause for a delightful picnic amidst the ruins. Imagine sitting on ancient steps, surrounded by centuries-old stories, as you savor local delicacies.

As the sun begins to set, we’ll make our way back to Sigiriya. Reflect on the day’s discoveries—the whispers of kings, the echoes of devotion—and carry them with you.
