Cultural Triangle

Magnificent ruins narrate Sri Lanka's glorious past

Here on the central plains, Sinhalese dynasties established their capital cities and built on a vast scale. As empires fell, nature reclaimed the land around the ruins, adding layers of charm on these spectacular architectural achievements.

With four World heritage sites, this is a must-see destination for every visitor.  Each site is ideally explored at leisure, rather than a box to be ticked. Our experienced guides tell you the history and the myths surrounding these ancient cities.
