Tour Overview
The legendary Cultural Triangle of Sri Lanka is a treasure trove of historic structures, royal towns, and Buddhist temples, which were once the cradle of early Sinhalese culture. The triangle’s three points are symbolized by the island’s historic capitals: Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa, and Kandy. This region, once home to ancient Sinhalese nobility, is rich in historic ruins and rebuilt temples and is a must-see when in Sri Lanka.
The Cultural Triangle will be perceived differently depending on how much time is spent there. Blue Lanka Tours’ Cultural Triangle Tour unites the ancient towns of Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa, and Kandy, featuring four UNESCO World Heritage Sites, as well as National Parks, temples, and the hill country capital. Here’s our guide to the must-see attractions, along with some tips from our team.
