Activity itinerary

Sri Maha Boodhi Temple

  • 20m
Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi is a historical sacred bo tree (Ficus religiosa) in the Mahamewuna Garden in historical city of Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka. This is believed to be a tree grown from a cutting of the southern branch from the historical sacred bo tree, Sri Maha Bodhi, which was destroyed during Emperor Ashoka the Great time, at Buddha Gaya in India, under which Siddhartha Gautama (Buddha) attained Enlightenment. The Buddhist nun Sangamitta Maha Theri, a daughter of Indian Emperor Ashoka, in 288 BC, brought the tree cutting to Sri Lanka during the reign of Sinhalese King Devanampiya Tissa. At more than 2,300 years old, it is the oldest living human-planted tree in the world

Vessagiriya

  • 10m
The Vessagiri monks lived in rock shelters that were constructed by quarrying from local materials. Today's visitor sees only the bare stones - and not all of those, since much of the rock was later carted away and reused elsewhere.

Ruwanwelisaya

  • 30m
  • Admission ticket included
Ruwanweli Maha Seya is one of the most revered Buddhist stupas in Sri Lanka. It was built by King Dutugamunu during his reign from 137 BCE to 119 BCE in Anuradhapura, the ancient capital of Sri Lanka. While it is neither the largest nor the oldest stupa erected in Anuradhapura, it is the most venerated by the Buddhists, surpassing all other great stupas. Beyond its religious importance, it stands as a national symbol, symbolising a heroic mother and son, a valiant warrior king, and a unified Sri Lanka. The stupa enshrines the largest known collection of Buddha’s relics ever placed in a dagoba on the island, making it a revered pilgrimage site.
