The Ancient Cities
Ancient Treasures
The Polonnaruwa Quadrangle, the ancient quarter of Anuradhapura, the jaw-dropping
sight of the rock monastery at Sigiriya: just some of the remarkable ruins ready for explor-
ation.
Sri Maha Bodhi
Amid the leaf-shrouded ruins of Anuradhapura is Sri Maha Bodhi, a tree that has seen his-
tory and devotion for 2000 years. Nearby, a welter of temples and monuments will inspire
your own devotion.
Biking the Temples
The ruins of the Ancient Cities are sited within much larger parks and reserves. You can
pedal between the wonders along palm-shaded paths and never see a car. Guesthouses
have bikes for hire.
