Anuradhapura, the ancient royal capital of Sri Lanka, unfolds its historical tapestry to those exploring its wonders by tuk-tuk or bicycle, providing an immersive journey among 1,500-year-old ruins and majestic dagobas that continue to draw Buddhist pilgrims in large numbers.

Another gem within the sacred precincts of Anuradhapura is the Thuparamaya Stupa, a significant Buddhist temple considered to be the earliest dagoba built on the island. Its presence echoes the deep-rooted spiritual heritage of Sri Lanka, beckoning visitors to behold the intricate architecture and immerse themselves in the serene ambiance that has endured the test of time.
