Sri Lanka<\/span><\/strong><\/a> has a colourful history that goes beyond 2000 years! Some of the ancient cities still hold the splendour of these historical monuments and buildings, and most have earned the title of world heritage sites. Bright white temples, beautiful palaces, beautifully carved ponds built for ancient royalty, statues of Lord Buddha and various other cleverly constructed monuments that cannot be explored in just one day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gigantic\ntemples, ruins of structures in ancient cities, spectacular cave temples and more.\nWall paintings of beautiful maidens at the Sigiriya rock fortress, the ever\nfamous Cultural Triangle is a place where travellers can marvel upon the World\nHeritage Sites within a small area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nDalanda Maligawa or known as the Sacred Temple of the Tooth, lies in the\nmajestic capital of yesteryear, Kandy. This sacred place is home to the sacred\ntooth relic of the Buddha and boasts unique architecture and craftsmanship. So,\nif you are looking for the epitome of traditional culture, Kandy is the place\nto be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In\nthe city of Galle, on the other hand, you will be able to witness the colonial\nheritage of Sri Lanka. The infamous Dutch fort at Galle is one of the\nwell-conserved in Asia.
