The visit

See Polonnaruwa without changing hotels.

Polonnaruwa is the broadest heritage landscape in our usual Habarana circuit: palaces, image houses, vatadage remains and the famous stone Buddhas sit across a planned ancient city.

Because the site is spread out, a private visit is more comfortable than trying to rush the highlights. We can keep the day archaeological, or combine a shorter Polonnaruwa loop with a native tour or village experience.

Stay in Habarana and you can reach Polonnaruwa without changing hotels, which is why many guests use us for both wildlife and Cultural Triangle days from one base.
