While you’re exploring the historic treasures situated within the Cultural Triangle region of Sri Lanka, be sure to schedule a stop off at the Muthumariamman Temple in Matale.
Most travellers touring the island will come across Matale as they travel between the ancient cities of Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa toward Kandy. Matale is about fifteen miles from Kandy, close to the spice gardens we visit on our Sri Lanka Itinerary15 Day Group Family Tour8 Day Group HighlightsLuxury Tour and Honeymoon Tour of Sri Lanka.
As well as the spice gardens, the Aluvihara Rock Monastery is also located on the outskirts of the city and is well worth a visit while you’re in the area.

A visit to the City of Polonnaruwa

A World Heritage site and treasure trove of historic relics, the ancient City of Polonnaruwa is among the best planned archaeological sites in Sri Lanka and is not to be missed during your Sri Lankan tour.
Polonnaruwa was declared the first city by King Vijayabahu in the 11th century, replacing Anuradhapurawhich had been left abandoned to the invading armies from India. The city reached its golden age during the reign of King Parakramabahu during the 12th century and much of the grandeur and awe-inspiring monuments erected during this time are still present to this day.
Many of our Sri Lanka tours visit the City of Polonnaruwa, including our 15 Day Group Family Tour of Sri Lanka and Sri Lanka Honeymoon Tour. Plus, we can easily incorporate a visit to Polonnaruwa and other historic Sri Lankan sites during a Tailor-made Sri Lanka Holiday!
