Anuradhapura

It is the first ancient capital of Sri Lanka with roots that go back to the 4th century BC. As the birthplace of Buddhism in Sri Lanka, it is one of the most revered cities in the land and Buddhism’s monument capital. The impressive collection of Anuradhapura temples, stupas, statues, and stoneworks has given the city UNESCO World Heritage Site status. There are also ruins of monasteries and palaces thousands of years old. It is not just an archaeological city but the heart of Sri Lanka’s civilization with a sophisticated network of reservoirs and waterways built for irrigation. Anuradhapura belongs to the Cultural Triangle of Sri Lanka and contains the most sacred tree in the world.

Top Attractions

The Sacred Bodhi Tree

It is the oldest surviving human-planted tree in the world. It was a sapling from the original tree in India, under which Buddha said to have attained enlightenment.

 

Ruwanwelisaya Dagoba

Out of all dagobas in Anuradhapura, this is the most iconic. It was built by King Dutugamunu in 140 BC and is said to contain the biggest collection of Buddha’s relics.

 

Mihintale

It was from the summit of this rock, Arahat Mahinda preached the first words of Buddhism to King Devanampiyatissa, who converted to Buddhism then and there.

 

Jetavanarama Dagoba

It was the third tallest monument in the world. Built by King Mahasen, this massive dome consisted of 90 million bricks. Ruins of a sprawling monastery surround it.

 

Thuparama Dagoba

This 3rd century BC dagoba is the oldest in Sri Lanka and was built by King Devanampiyatissa to enshrine the right collarbone of Buddha. Its most unique feature is the Vatadage.

 

Abhayagiri Dagoba

This mega structure dating back to 2nd the century BC is another stupa containing relics of Buddha. Its monastic complex was the original custodian of the Tooth Relic.

Safe trip from Sigriya to Kandy Dilshan drove us from Sigriya to Kandy. We stayed at his familiy‘s place where they have really nice bungalows. We had a safe trip he drove carefully and was concerned that we catch the train on time. He‘s a nice guy. We catched the train and arrived in Ella, thanks Dilshan and say hello to your nice family!

Fantastico tour di 4 giorni in Sri Lanka Era un affare dell'ultimo minuto con i Kashyapa Tours che prenotavano un tour di quattro giorni nella provincia del centro nord e infine ci lasciavano a ella. Il nostro autista (Dilshan) era eccezionale e aveva un'ottima conoscenza della Sri Lanka. Tutto è andato liscio fino alla fine del tour. Altamente raccomandato.

Excellent service at a good price We hired Kashyapa Tours to take us to anaudhpura for the day from sigiriya with a days notice and they were able to fit us in. We were extremely impressed with the service. His driving was excellent, he didn't impose and was very accommodating to our requests and we could not recommend more highly. No complaints what so ever.5 stars.

Kashyapa Tours We contacted Dilshan the night before our intended tour and he was very helpful in organising everything at the last minute. We took a day trip and Dilshan was an excellent guide taking us to our tour locations and final destination very efficiently and safely. His local knowledge of tourist sights and finding ATMs and water stops etc is excellent. His service and reliability is 10/10 and we would highly recommend arranging your Sri Lankan tour or day trips with Dilshan. He is very friendly and provides an excellent service. Thanks again Dilshan!

Kashyapa Tours We contacted Kashyapa Tours on the morning of our visit to Anuradhapura. Provided prompt service of a good car and driver. Dilshan was our driver with a new comfortable car when we went to Pollonaruwa and Kandy. Very prompt, careful, polite service and reasonable rates. He also arranged for our jeep safari to Kaudulla. Certainly recommend Kashyapa Tours.
