Historical and Wildlife Wonders

Cultural background and wildlife research are seamlessly integrated in Anuradhapura and Wilpattu. Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka’s first historical capital, is a good place to begin your trip. There are well-known sites like the ‘Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi’, the ‘Ruvanvelisaya Dagoba’ and the ‘Tissa Wewa’ which is the oldest tree still standing in the area. The majesty and religious significance of the historic city are evident everywhere you look. Wilpattu National Park, the largest national park in Sri Lanka and home to a wide variety of flora and fauna offers an exhilarating afternoon jeep safari. Anyone who enjoys the outdoors, plants, and animals should visit the park. There are roughly thirty remarkable mammal species found there including the elusive Sri Lankan leopard.
