Embark on an unforgettable journey through Anuradhapura and Wilpattu, two of Sri Lanka’s most treasured destinations that perfectly blend the island’s ancient heritage and thriving wildlife. This immersive experience takes you from the sacred ruins of a historical capital to the untamed wilderness of the country’s largest national park, offering the ideal balance of cultural discovery and natural adventure.

Historical City – Anuradhapura

Begin your exploration in Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka’s first royal capital and a UNESCO World Heritage Site revered for its architectural brilliance and spiritual legacy. Walk through centuries of history as you visit monumental landmarks such as the Ruwanwelisaya Dagoba, one of the world’s most sacred Buddhist stupas, and the Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi, believed to be the world’s oldest living tree with a documented history. The serene Tissa Wewa reservoir adds to the city’s charm, providing breathtaking reflections of stupas under the tropical sun. Each site reveals the grandeur of ancient Sri Lankan civilization and the devotion that shaped its identity.

Wildlife – Wilpattu National Park

After exploring the timeless beauty of Anuradhapura, set out on a jeep safari at Wilpattu National Park, a haven for wildlife enthusiasts. Known for its distinctive network of natural lakes or “willus,” Wilpattu spans over 1,300 square kilometers of dense forests, scrublands, and open grass fields. This vast sanctuary shelters more than 30 species of mammals, including elephants, sloth bears, spotted deer, and the elusive Sri Lankan leopard. The tranquil atmosphere and rich biodiversity make Wilpattu a must-visit for anyone seeking an authentic wildlife encounter.

From sacred stupas to scenic safari trails, Historical and Wildlife Treasures offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience Sri Lanka’s cultural depth and ecological diversity in one seamless journey.
