Ancient Kingdoms Trail
Three days through the stone capitals of Polonnaruwa and Anuradhapura.
This route follows the old royal roads between two capital cities that are over a thousand years old. I walk you through the carvings myself and explain the parts most guidebooks skip.
What's included
- Private walking tour of the Polonnaruwa quadrangle
- The rock-carved Buddha statues at Gal Vihara at sunrise
- A stop at a family spice garden along the way
- Air-conditioned vehicle for the long stretches
