After breakfast we will be driving to Polonnaruwa which is the second ancient capital city
of Sri Lanka. Plonnaruwa rose to fame as the capital after the decline of Anuradhapura. Its
period of greatness was from 10thto 12th Centuries AD. The entire landscape of the
region is punctuated by huge man made reservoirs, veritable inland seas the most famous
of which is the Parakrama Samudra or the Sea of Parakrama, larger in size than the
Colombo harbor. The monuments of this medieval city are relatively well preserved and
give clear evidence of the glory of Sri Lanka’s past. See the royal palace complex, the
quadrangle with its concentration of ancient heritage and the spectacular Gal vihara
complex of four massive statues of the Lord Buddha, cut from a single slab of granite –
highlight of ancient Sri Lankan rock carving.
After exploring the anicient city of Polonnaruwa we will be driving to Dambulla caves
passing the most famous and the largest vegetable and fruit wholesale market in Sri
Lanka.
Visit the Caves of Dambulla which were originally used as a refuge for King Valagambahu
who was seeking exile and was protected by the Buddhist monks of Dambulla. Later, once
he regained his throne in Anuradhapura, the king converted the caves into a magnificent
temple complex. The colourful frescos which cover the ceiling of the caves date back over
2,000 years. The Dambulla cave temple houses the largest number of statues of the Lord
Buddha found in a single location.
After exploring the caves of Dambulla we will be driving you back to Bandaranaike international airport
for your departure flight or to any preferred hotel or drop off location.
