Itinerary
Sight: Anuradhapura
Walk among the giants of history — towering stupas like Ruwanwelisaya, the sacred Sri Maha Bodhi tree (the oldest historically documented tree in the world), and intricately carved moonstones. This ancient city still hums with devotion, drawing pilgrims and history lovers alike to its sun-drenched ruins.
Sight: Wilpattu Jeep Safari
Trade sacred stone for wilderness. Embark on a jeep safari through Wilpattu’s vast forest and open scrublands, punctuated by still “willus” (natural rainwater basins). Keep your eyes peeled for leopards lounging in treetops, spotted deer grazing at the water’s edge, and the occasional sloth bear rambling through the brush.
