Polonnaruwa encompasses royal palaces, magnificent dagobas, ornate council chambers and the breathtaking Gal Vihara – four massive figures of the Buddha carved directly into a single granite face. Exploring Polonnaruwa by bicycle is the most popular and rewarding way to experience its scale and beauty, weaving between ancient structures along shaded pathways. The site is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and an essential stop for any visitor to the Cultural Triangle.
