<p>Sri Lanka was one of the few most advanced and developed nations in the pre-modern world. It was an important historical civilization in Asia. According to the documented history starting from the 3rd century, BC Anuradhapura was the first planned capital city of the country. Then by Polonnaruwa, Yapahuwa, Dambadeniya, Kurunegala, Gampola, Kotte, and finally Kandy. UNESCO sponsored a project to preserve historical, archaeological, and cultural sites in Sri Lanka in the 1980s. Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa, Sigiriya, Dambulla, and Kandy belong to the northcentral region of the country including that project. That project has called the “Cultural Triangle”. Later all these sites become UNESCO world heritage sites. Those locations are the cluster of Sri Lankan cultural attractions.</p><p>This tour programme has planned to give you a detailed understanding of the Cultural Triangle and the broad culture of Sri Lanka.
