In turn, her people value their heritage and Sri Lankan culture is born out of legendary stories and awe-inspiring monuments. Doubtlessly, any Sri Lankan cultural tours are bound to include at least one Sri Lankan historical place. Sri Lankan heritage and cultural tours focus mainly around “the cultural triangle”. The cultural triangle connects three ancient world heritage cities, namely Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa, and Kandy. Scattered within the cultural triangle are thousands of rural villages where authentic Sri Lankan culture mingles with many more mini heritage sites.
