Considered the cradle of Buddhism, Sri Lanka is a land that attracts pilgrims to come here because of many Buddhist relics. During the journey to explore Sri Lanka, tourists can go to ancient capitals and admire Buddhist relics that are still preserved to this day.
Coming to the ancient capital of Anuradhapura, tourists will visit two world cultural heritages: Sri Maha Bodhi Temple where the sacred Bodhi tree was planted more than 2,200 years ago; Brazen Palace with 1,600 stone pillars built as a residence for monks.
At Polonnaruwa, visitors come to the Gal Viharaya stone temple - which houses four Buddha images in standing, meditating, and nirvana positions, one of the finest examples of ancient Sinhalese carving and sculpture, as well as ruins such as the Royal Palace, Lotus Pond, King Parakramabahu statue, Parakrama Samudraya Lake and Dambulla Temple - housed in a limestone cave decorated with extremely vivid patterns on the walls and on the dome with a record area of over 2000 square meters.
The ancient capital of Kandy will be the next stop with Kandy Lake, Peradeniya Botanical Garden, Buddha Tooth Relic Temple - home to the Buddha Tooth Relic and the main Buddhist temple of Sri Lanka since ancient times.
Leaving Sri Lanka after meaningful pilgrimage days on this sacred land, tourists spend the remaining days of their journey relaxing in the Maldives paradise with high-class resorts.
Here, visitors will have the opportunity to walk on the white sand, blue beaches and coral reefs right next to the shore. Moreover, visitors can join in activities such as yoga by the pool, massage... or activities on the sea such as surfing, diving or snorkeling...
