Culture & Heritage
Sri Lanka's Cultural Triangle is a UNESCO World Heritage treasure trove. Sigiriya's 5th century lion rock fortress rises 200 metres from the jungle, its summit gardens among the most sophisticated in the ancient world. Nearby Dambulla's Golden Cave Temple shelters 157 statues of the Buddha inside five natural chambers.
Kandy, the last royal capital, holds the sacred Temple of the Tooth Relic the most venerated Buddhist shrine on the island. Polonnaruwa and Anuradhapura reveal the scale of the island's medieval kingdoms. Every visit can be made private, at your pace, with a knowledgeable local driver guide.
