描述

Discover the oldest city in Sri Lanka, Anuradhapura, on a guided cycling tour. Journey back in time as you explore the ruins by bike and hear local legends and stories about the UNESCO-listed city.
Take a guided half-day cycling tour of Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka's oldest city. Listen to local legends and stories about the city as you cycle through the ruins.

Start at the Ranmasu Uyana (Royal Park) in the morning and meet your cycling guide. Get your bicycle and a helmet, as well as refreshments for the ride. Depart along the third-oldest manmade reservoir in Sri Lanka, and see the embankment of Tissa Wewa, which is 2 miles long and 25 feet tall.

Leave Tissa Wewa and cycle to the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Anuradhapura City, where the ancient monuments and ruins lie. Listen as your guide tells you many native stories and legends about Anuradhapura along the way.

En route to the city, stop by the Isurumuniya Temple, built by King Devanampiyatissa in the 3rd century BC. See its famous stone carvings, including the Isurumuniya Lovers, the Royal Family, and the Elephant Bathing.

Arrive at the Anuradhapura Ruins and view the Abhayagiri Stupa, which was part of the massive Abhayagiri Monastery. The Stupa was the second largest brick structure in the world after Jetavanaramaya.

See the elaborate moonstones and the reclining Buddha. Marvel at the famous giant Samadhi Buddha statue and the beautifully designed Twin Ponds (Kuttam Pokuna) that were also part of the Abhayagiri Monastery.  

After the Abhayagiri monastery area, continue to the Jetavana Pagoda, the largest brick structure of the ancient world. Take in the impressive views at Jetavana, including bas reliefs, high arches, and beautifully shaped lotus pedestals.

End your tour on a high at Ruwanwelisaya Pagoda, the oldest that is still in use where you can see pilgrims worshipping. See plenty of elephant sculptures, from the full-sized elephant sculptures in the outer wall to the old stone elephants in the base of the stupa.
