The Heritage Trail
Ancient kingdoms built by people who understood permanence. Still standing. Anuradhapura was a functioning capital city when Rome was still a village. The chronicles that describe its kings, its waterworks, and its Buddhist councils are among the oldest continuous historical records on earth.

JOURNEY HIGHLIGHTS
Stop 1: Wilpattu National Park
The leopard without the convoy. The jungle as it actually is.
Stop 2: Anuradhapura
The city that was a capital for thirteen centuries and has not finished explaining itself.
Stop 3: Trincomalee
The finest natural harbour in Asia. The warmest water on the east coast.
Stop 4: Polonnaruwa
The second great capital. Better preserved than Anuradhapura, and understood differently.
