Cultural Triangle

Located in the geographical heart of Sri Lanka, the triangle has as its points three ancient capitals, together spanning 2500 years of history: Kandy in the south, Anuradhapura in the north and Polonnoruwa in the east. Within the triangle are unique cultural marvels such as the 1st Century BC cave temple of Dambulla, the 183 metre-high granite hill fortress of Sigiriya and the vast archaeological site of Polonnoruwa: three wonderful World Heritage Sites to explore.

The Deer Park
With an ayurvedic spa and comfortable yet unpretentious cottages set within lush grounds by the Giritale reservoir, this is the best placed hotel for visiting Polonnoruwa and game parks such as Wasgomuwa with its 23 species of mammal.

 

Kandy

The last seat of the ancient Sinhalese kings, this attractive city contains the stunning Buddhist Temple of the Tooth Relic, sited near the large scenic lake. After a temple visit, it is well worth strolling through town to catch the relaxed atmosphere. A visit to nearby Udawattakale, the forbidden forest of the ancient Kandyan kings, will reveal quarrelsome troops of dusky toque macaque and a variety of bird species.

Peradeniya Botanical Gardens near Kandy occupies 146 acres of spice plants, palms, orchids and giant tropical trees, totalling 4000 species. Dating back to the 14th Century, it is Sri Lanka’s premier botanical garden and a must for plant enthusiasts.

The Kandy House
Ensconced in a rural setting four miles out of Kandy, the luxury boutique hotel occupies an erstwhile aristocratic manor house of architectural importance which has been sensitively updated by one of the island’s best known architects.
