Overview

Our company representative will pick you up from your hotel in Negombo and proceed to the ancient capital of Polonnaruwa. Your journey with your private English-speaking guide begins at Gal Vihara, a 12th-century Buddhist temple made out of solid stone. From there, go to the unique Thivanka Image House which boasts murals, paintings, and carvings depicting religious tales. Inside, you will also find an impressive statue of Buddha. See another beautiful image house (considered the largest one in ancient Sri Lanka) when you visit Lankathilaka Viharaya which was built by Parakramabahu I, king of Polonnaruwa between 1153-86. Visit the Vatadage - a well-preserved monument also known as the Circular Relic House - before admiring the ruins of King Parakramabahu's Royal palace and his statue. The palace once had over 1,000 rooms and 7 stories. Learn about Parakrama Samudraya, a portion of the ancient city’s water reservoir, before returning to your hotel in Negombo.
