Step into the soul of Sri Lanka in the North Central Province, where ancient kings, spiritual awakenings, and wild nature weave a timeless story.

Begin in Anuradhapura, Lanka’s first great kingdom and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Explore its grand stupas, sacred bodhi trees, and ancient reservoirs.

Move on to Polonnaruwa, the island’s second capital, where royal palaces and serene statues like the Gal Vihara Buddhas speak of a golden era of art, planning, and spiritual harmony. Ascend the majestic Sigiriya Rock Fortress, a sky palace of myth and ingenuity. 

Nearby, visit Mihintale, the sacred mountain believed to be the birthplace of Buddhism in Sri Lanka—a serene site of reflection and devotion. At the Dambulla Rock Cave Temple, centuries-old art tells spiritual stories, while modern genius like Geoffrey Bawa’s Heritance Kandalama shows how architecture can harmonize with jungle and rock.

Beyond history, the region pulses with life. Witness the famed Gathering of Elephants at Minneriya National Park, or explore Kaudulla and Wasgamuwa for quieter encounters with elephants, birds, and forest wildlife.
