With a history in a millennia of epic sagas of kings and queens, Sri Lanka is a historian’s dream with its cultural triangle boasting of a proud collection of ancient monuments and archeological marvels dating back to the 3rd Century. It is renowned for its glory in the remains of palaces, temples, monasteries, hospitals and theatres intricately carved and modelled out of stone laying abandoned amidst the soaring mountains and bustling cities. The bricks, the stones, the soil and the creative patterns on the walls, all speak of a culture that was so very vibrant long ago. Yet, we feel the same thrill, excitement and aura of royalty who walked on the same road we walk on today.
Trail through the tranquil cities of Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa and Kandy to hear the dramatic stories of the island’s most powerful kingdoms that ruled the country from 3rd – 14th Century, epic battles warding off invaders, humbling adventures with foreign traders and precious beginnings of Buddhism in the island.
