Curtural Triangle
Entry 2 of 3 | show all | print this entry |
This is what I'm supposed to do!
Sri Lanka's famous cultural triangle offers plenty to fire both mind and body over the first three days. The ruined capital of Polonnaruwa, and the lion rock of Mount Sigiriya are all UNESCO world heritage sites and are included. En route, you'll stop-off at the Pinnawela Elephant Orphanage, an institution that cares for orphaned and injured working elephants. After seeing calves being fed and the whole herd cooling-off in the river, reach your hotel. On Day 2 take a climb up Sigiriya Rock as the heat of the day departs, a remarkable fortress built by a playboy king upon a tabletop-like mountain. The next day, explore the ruined city of Polonnaruwa - we recommend that it is best done on bicycle.
