The ruins of Anuradhapura are one of South Asia’s most evocative sights. The sprawling complex contains a rich collection of archaeological and architectural wonders: enormous dagobas (brick stupas), ancient pools and crumbling temples, built during Anuradhapura’s thousand years of rule over Sri Lanka. Today, several of the sites remain in use as holy places and temples; frequent ceremonies give Anuradhapura a vibrancy that’s a sharp contrast to the museum-like ambience at Polonnaruwa.

  • Bandaranayake Intl Airport, Colombo, Sri Lanka
  • Isurumuniya Temple, Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka
    This charming rock temple, dating from the reign of Devanampiya Tissa (r 307–267 BC), is set around a lovely lotus pond, the corner of which is carved with images of elephants playfully splashing water. The central temple has some particularly fine mural paintings. Climb around the back to the rock summit to see the bell-shaped stupa and a pair of Buddha footprints etched into the rock.

  • 992W+2G9, Abhayawewa Rd, Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka
    This magnificent white dagoba is guarded by a wall with a frieze of 344 elephants standing shoulder to shoulder. Apart from a few beside the western entrance, most are modern replacements of the originals from 140 BC. Today, after incurring much damage from invading Indian forces, it rises 55m, considerably less than its original height; nor is its form the same as the earlier ‘bubble’ shape.
    15 minutes
  • Jethawanaramaya Stupa, Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka
    The Jetavanarama Dagoba’s massive dome rises above the entire eastern part of Anuradhapura. Built in the 3rd century by King Mahasena, it may have originally topped 120m, but today is about 70m – similar to the Abhayagiri. When it was built it was almost certainly the third-tallest monument in the world, the first two being Egyptian pyramids.

  • Mihinthale, Sri Lanka
    Mihintale is a mountain peak near Anuradhapura in Sri Lanka. It is believed by Sri Lankans to be the site of a meeting between the Buddhist monk Mahinda and King Devanampiyatissa which inaugurated the presence of Buddhism in Sri Lanka. It is now a pilgrimage site, and the site of several religious monuments and abandoned structures.

Where to begin. My travels were filled with Parell, injuries in Colombo, sleep deprivation and so on unitil we finally arrived in Kandy and were lucky enough to make the acquaintance of Laxman. By far one of the most genuine and caring individuals I have ever met. Laxman begins his days by waking in the early mornings by harvesting lotus flowers arranging them in bouquets as an offering to Buddha at the world renounded temple of the golen buddha's tooth then spends his day's searching for people to offer his sevices to. His tours all encompassing wellness, care the most incredible deals ever all with the hope of assuring those in his care good Karma. I can not stress enough how amazing this person is. Good luck, take care and enjoy your travels.
