Travel to Anuradhapura, be awed by the spectacles of the ancient kingdom and make it a picture perfect getaway by staying at a luxurious boutique hotel.

1. Attractions in Anuradhapura
A UNESCO World Heritage Site
Engulf yourself in the beauty and serenity of
the ancient ruins in the iconic city of
Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka. Be awed by the
architecture, design and concepts of the
ancient kingdom.

2. Steeped in history, Sri Lanka’s ancient
capital Anuradhapura is a rich storehouse
of archaeological wonder. Here you will
find attractions such as the ancient
Abhayagiri Monastery and Dagaba which
is the city’s largest main temple and the Sri
Mahabodhi Tree which is a sacred
Buddhist relic that dates back more than
2,200 years. It is also the home to the
Ruvanwelisaya Stupa which was built by
King Dutugemunu to preserve and protect
Lord Buddha’s relics.

3. Other Attractions…
Although Anuradhapura is an attraction alone, there are quite a few other attractions in its vicinity.
The annual, yet famous, tourist
attraction, “The Gathering”, is Sri
Lanka’s most popular tourist attraction
involving more than 300 elephants that
roam the island’s jungles and attracts
as many tourists who come to witness
this majestic event.
These elephants gather at the
Minneriya Reservior, located within
the Minneriya National Park, for what
may easily be the world’s largest pool
party.

4. Sigiriya, the colossal rock fortress built by King Kashyapa, a son of King
Dutugemunu who ruled the ancient kingdoms in Sri Lanka. The rock is
famous for its “Lion’s Paw” which is the entrance to the castle and boasts
beautiful pools and gardens with a serene view into the horizon.
The magnificently painted frescoes on the stone walls within the rock are
popular among tourists and even locals and is the prominent attraction of
Sigiriya.

5. Many tourists who visit Sri Lanka make it a point to visit the island’s Wilpattu National
Park, one of the oldest in the country as well. The highlight of the park, apart from the
variety of birds and flowers, spotted deer and elephants, is the leopard. Anyone going
on safari should consider themselves extremely lucky to get even a glimpse of this
elusive yet elegant cat.
Photographers hunt night and day to get a rare shot of the Lankan leopard and even a
rarer shot of a hunting is possible provided it is the suitable time of the year, when
there is just enough water and food for animals to roam out without hiding away deep
in the forest.
