Explore the Sacred City of Anuradhapura, which stands equal to the Pyramids at Giza on an architectural level. The magical UNESCO World Heritage Site with enormous Dagobas, palaces, monasteries and monuments give evidence of one of the greatest civilisations in the world.

The sacred city of Anuradhapura was the first Royal Kingdom and capital of Sri Lanka. Today Anuradhapura is one of the world’s major archaeological sites in the world. It covers an area of about 40 km² and was established around a cutting from the ‘tree of enlightenment’, the Buddha’s fig tree, in the 3rd century B.C. by Sanghamitta, the founder of an order of Buddhist nuns. The ruined city hidden away in dense jungle for many years was brought to life by The British in the nineteenth century.

Spend a day at Wilpattu National Park, ‘Land of Lakes’. Situated on the Northwest coast near the ancient city of Anuradhapura, Wilpattu is the largest and oldest National Park in Sri Lanka, consisting of 140,000 hectares. This is one of best places to see leopards in Sri Lanka alongside Yala National Park. The open grassy plains are set within the thick dense scrub jungle. The wetland includes around 48 shallow natural lakes known as Villus, natural basins that are filled up with rainwater and two salt water lakes. These natural lakes are the most important parts of the complex eco-system in the park.

The park is home to elusive Leopards, Elephants, Sloth Bears, Water Buffalos, Mugger Crocodiles, Spotted and Barking Deer, Wild Boar and Pythons. Alongside these wild animals you may be able to see many endemic birds include the Ceylon Junglefowl, Brown-capped Babbler, Ceylon Woodshrike and Black-capped Bulbul in riverine habitats. Diverse varieties of colourful butterflies can be seen in the park as well. Wilpattu National Park is ‘must-do’ whilst staying in and around Anuradhapura.
