Polonnaruwa

Cycle through the compact, beautifully preserved ruins of this historic UNESCO World Heritage Site. The ancient city is famed for its monumental royal palaces, large brick stupas, and the majestic Gal Vihara, which features colossal Buddha statues masterfully carved directly into a solid granite cliff face. As you explore, you will also spot the famous toque macaque monkeys that peacefully inhabit the surrounding jungle ruins.
