How to properly explore Sri Lanka’s Ancient Cities?

ByRavana Tour Specialist

Consider renting a bicycle for the day to move around the enormous, flat archaeological area, or go with a tuk-tuk driver for a guided and shaded tour. Start your day at 7:00 AM exactly, to dodge the suffocating North Central Province heat and to keep away from big afternoon pilgrim crowds.

Keep these tips in mind:

  • Purchase the mandatory cultural triangle ticket at the main archaeological museum.
  • Wear modest, breathable clothing that covers your shoulders and knees.
  • Bring thick socks to protect your feet from burning stone pavements when removing shoes at the ancient stupas.
