    A large area with several temples, Stupas, buildings and important places spread over it. Worth the effort to go, but a guide is a necessity as otherwise you are just looking at domes, trees, fallen down buildings and water. The guide can make or break it, ours was excellent. The car is a bonus as it gets so hot - cycling would be difficult and walking impossible (unless you just want to see the temple used today the the Bo tree).

    The Sacred Tree

    The Bo tree is said to have grown from a cutting from the original tree that Buddha meditated beneath. It is probably the most sacred tree in existence. It has been continually tended and worshiped for 2000 years. Thousands of Sri Lankans come here every day to pray. For me this was a moving experience.
