About this experience
Step into a private, air-conditioned vehicle from your Sigiriya hotel and travel to Anuradhapura — Sri Lanka's first great capital and one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. Over nine hours, your English-speaking chauffeur guide walks you through the sacred grounds of Sri Maha Bodhi, one of Buddhism's most revered trees, and the ancient dagoba of Thuparamaya. Learn the stories behind each crumbling stupa and towering monument as you move through a landscape shaped by centuries of religious devotion.
Beyond the landmark sites, the tour ventures into lesser-known corners — including the hidden meditation caves used by monks long ago. The tour is private throughout, so the pace suits you. Entrance tickets and meals are arranged separately, keeping your itinerary flexible. A one-litre water bottle is provided per person. Gratuities are at your discretion.
