Overview
You will get to Panduwasnuwara at 8:30 am. The kingdom of Panduwasnuwara flourished between 504 BC and 474 BC and is believed to be established by the King Panduvasudev. The ruins that stand today are mainly from the 12th century. Some of the notable sights you will get to see are the ruins of the magnificent royal palace, the remains of the 297 feet wide tower with its extremely thick walls which have many legends surrounding them. Also, we’ll explore the recently restored former temple of the tooth relic and Panda Wewa which is believed to be one of the very first irrigation systems built in the world.
You will start your travel to Yapahuwa, once a powerful ancient kingdom, at 10:00 am and get there by 11:30 am. You will spend two hours immersing yourself into the ancient atmosphere of the 13th-century rock fortress of Yapahuwa. The fortress was the last stand of King Bhuvenakabahu when the Dravidians invaded this territory. He attempted to save the Holy Tooth Relic of Buddha there, but the move failed to protect it as it was stolen by the Pandyans immediately following his death. The tooth relic was recovered the year after but was placed in Polonnaruwa instead. SKU: LK60020100
